More armor IS better!
Germany. it is obviously Germany. spensive, but bettah!
Hang on!! Justin didn’t know what Top Trumps is?!?!
@olliep – What you need to understand is Justin is a 90s baby trapped in an 80s baby body 🙂
LMAO 🙂
I know he has issues with films/cartoons from our era @lloyd, but Top Trumps is universal 🙂
Not surprised
I wonder will they do the same for ‘Tanks’?
Nice little sideline to the game itself.
Get to the flanks!
So what’s best? I think the best armour is the one that wins the day. No stats can tell.
And well… having a low or narrow profile is by far better than being a big chunk of metal unable to conceal behind a small ridge or hill.
I do like my Leopards but I assume a T-72 would be a very tough nut to crack.
M109’s are the bomb, so need to get some of these
Next time you have to ‘4+’ a rule, don’t roll dice play a round of Team Yankee Top Trumps.
Until I played Tanks earlier this month, I had never used stat cards for a wargame. Suffice to say, between Tanks and x-wing, I’m throughly converted to their usefulness in a game. Very of the old school over here, that of using data sheets, army books and summary pages. But having a few cards in front of you that have all the info you need, when you’ve learnt the rules to a game, suddenly your gaming case/bag/car boot is a lot lighter for not having thick tomes of words.
The detail and pictures put into the Leopard book are beautiful.
As they have the best mix of Skill-Morale-Vehicle Stats I would say that the WG have the best armour for now. Hope that as they progress the story they will introduce some newer Soviet Tanks to face off NATO shining toys….
So many train journeys as a kid spent playing Top Trump (and Combat Cards).
Used to love Top Trumps back when I was a kid.
Got to be Soviet, quantity has a quality of it’s own after all right?
T-72 is the best of course! No silly overpriced capitalist product is macth for it!
“Quantity of Quality” 😛
Great comparison and discussion between the various factions, I’m leaning towards the West Germans right because they are new and shiny, but I think things will change when we see newer vehicles added to the US, Bradley anyone or dare i say Apache!
Badass stuff
During this battle the W Germans obviously, but if those Hinds had been kept at distance and firing flank shots on the Leopards from earlier the whole game could have been different. But then again so could this game with just different dice rolls. LOL
Can this be expanded to team Yankee fortnight
Fun little game within a game.
Very cool idea ^^
Looks like a fun little diversion.
For anyone interested, IRL the Leopard recently won a NATO tank-combat competition during exercises.
1st Germany in A6 model Leopard, 2nd Denmark and 3rd Poland in older A5 model Leopard
– all placed above the US in their M1A2.

That’s a great way to get extra play of these kits. Nice one.
Loving team Yankee week.
