My current project will be a small USMC force roughly in the 2003 era for Team Yankee.

Since TY is set currently more in the 80s and 90s using battlefront miniatures I have to made a lot of modifications.

The 3 main components of the force will contain:

3 M1A1 Abrams tanks

1 Marine Platoon riding in AAVs

1 CAAT Hummer platoon

I started modifying the M1 by sculpting a lot of extra parts in Blender to 3d print them and add them to the vehicles. Despite the stowage this included APUs for the bustle racks, a bustle rack extension, deep wading adapters and a mine plow.

The AAVP7 just got stowage stuff. At the moment Im waiting to recieve some custom decals for the m1 to add some names to the barrels.

The marines were a bit more complicated.

Here I used green stuff to add flag vests (which cover the 80s webbing too), hoods for the MOPP suits and goggles and NVG attachmets for the helmets.

The combined anti armour team or CAAT will be represented game wise as a hummwee scout section.

The only thing I added are some field modifications I found on pictures.

This little force is for Team Yankee not a playable army but we will use some home brew szenarios which forces players to use more modern equipment, stay away from Spam forces and are a bit more specialized and story driven.
