Team Yankee Boot Camp Live Blog: Saturday
Tale Of Four Gamers - Expectations For The Day
We have a chat with our four Boot Campers (two for the US and two for the Soviets) and discuss with them what they're looking forward to most over the next few hours...
I think US is in need of those AA… ^^
Everyone seems to be good sports…for now…once that game gets underway I see grudges forming!!
I would say USA to win but they don’t have the Brits holding their hands
I’d hope Mother Russia would win, but I think them Abrams’ and Cobras will be crushing it
GO Russians, Go Murica…..eeeh.
Oh I dont care who wins, have fun guys.
Looks like things are shaping up nicely, i would say go USA but you have to love those hinds.
6 Hinds… Damn! Rambo’s gonna need more arrows!
Like those pylons
Did you guys know that an afghan war era slang for the hind “gunships” are bumbelbees^^
here’s hoping the bumblebees get stung, america for the win
Aslong as the USA can shoot down hinds they should be find.
Go Team Yankee!
Excellent! It is good to see our socialist comrades express heart felt solidarity and revolutionary zeal in the face of the warmongering imperialist Americans! For Lloyd! For the Motherland! Huuuurah! Huuuuurah! Huuuuuurah!
Thought you might like that mention!
DISPATCH FROM 6TH GUARDS TANK DIVISION – 1st SOVIET GUARDS TANK ARMY . . . 02:30 HOURS – 15AUG85 . . . It has been hard fighting throughout the day, and too many of our valiant comrades have “gone to grass.” But we are dealing the imperialist dogs hard blows, and making them pay for every step they take in the the beloved motherland of our loyal Lloydoslavian allies! i.e. . . I’ve won some games and lost some games. I tend to lose the smaller games. At least for me, the bigger the game, the better luck the Soviet… Read more »
Wonder if the US infantry have access to Stingers or just Dragons? The Ruskies learned that the Hinds no likey the Stinger in Afghanistan.
looks like fun.
whoever wins, just do it for Lloydaslavia!
Cant wait to see this unfold! Russia might have an advantage here if the players are playing agressively.
Good gamers make good gaming. Great stuff guys
Mother russia!
Sounds like the start of a great day
We had great expectations and were not disappointed.
As the usa northern neighbor and knowing what happened when the tank meet in the real world GO USA GO.
I really like just how different the armies are. They’re not just two clones smashing at one and other, they play very differently. I like that.
Totally different. The Americans I think have to play very conservatively. Their guns shoot further, are more accurate, shoot faster, etc. But of course they are always outnumbered. So far the games I have lost, the Americans sit back and force me to come to them, whittling my numbers as I approach. The Soviets, conversely, have to get into “choking range” as fast as possible. Also, we’ve learned that the American Cobras don’t fire TOWs on the move. This is a huge equalizer against their dreaded “hunter killer” rule, which mostly relies on tucking behind buildings anyway. The Hinds, by… Read more »
It will be interesting to see how anti-air will affect the game. I see it has having a major effect on the game if there are lots of helicopters being played. I will be rooting for the USA in these battles.
For the Motherland Comrades
