Free Nation French Armour & Aeroplanes Arrive For Team Yankee
August 6, 2018 by brennon
Battlefront has produced a range of new vehicles and aircraft for you to use with your Free Nation French in Team Yankee. We start off with the AMX 30 Tank Platoon which gives you some more heavy support for your advance.
Not only does the set allow you to create a range of tanks you also have the howitzers for blasting apart foes from afar and turning defences into ruin. Backing them up we also have the AMX Roland SAM Battery which gives you some more options for holding off aircraft that are moving onto the battlefield.
It seems like the French are getting vehicles to deal with all manner of situations as they include the AMX-10 RC Recce Platoon into the mix. These faster moving tanks are great for moving ahead of the main force and checking out what lies ahead AS WELL as allowing you to deliver a killer blow if you catch them unawares.
Finally, at least where ground units are concerned, we also have the AMX-13 DCA AA Platoon. Whilst I like all of these designations it is somewhat of a shame that so many of these vehicles don't have cool names anymore.
It's suddenly a lot harder to say that your AMX-13 DCA AA vehicle is moving forward...when it could be something decidedly cooler. Either way, this gives you a lot of interesting modern military kit to bring to the fight against the Soviets in Team Yankee

As well as all of these ground units you also have some aircraft to provide support from above. The Mirage 5 Hunting Patrol provides you with some stunning looking planes which are fully laden for a deadly strike.
This particular plane had access to cluster bombs and a deadly autocannon allowing it to rake the ground with explosions and bullets to scatter enemy infantry.
Are you going to be snapping some of these up for your expanding French force?

damn it. Team Yankee army number three! Battlefront are costing me a fortune with all their cool stuff haha
All. The. Things.
Those are really good.
fabulous new vehicles for forces.
Nice….
I was hoping they would use the AMX-13 for the Recce platoon (ok even in the 80’s this was old kit, but it was still in use), as it’s probably the most iconic of French AFVs post WW2. But I see the hull of the AMX-13 being used for the AAA platoon (so we might still see it).
