Team Yankee Leopard Pre-Orders Pop Up From Battlefront
July 4, 2016 by brennon
Battlefront have now put together the entire Pre-Order List for Team Yankee's new expansion, Leopard, over on their webstore. These releases are going to run throughout all of July and into August so you have two whole months to get excited about the game...
Leading the way we have the Kampfgruppe Muller set above which will act as your Army Deal/Starter Force for Leopard giving you a whole bunch of awesome looking German tanks and the Helicopters, which we'll show off later.
Of course with all of these sets you're going to get the cards and gubbins you need to play with them too. So, let's get started with the armour...
German Armour
Without further ado lets see what's coming for the Germans in terms of vehicles.
As you can see it's not just the regular tanks that are appearing throughout the two months. We've got a lot of Anti-Air vehicles, support for infantry and even transports which will help get them into the action.
I really like the vehicles for the Germans. As I've mentioned before I think they look rough and ready for action plus with a little bit of a Near-Future and/or Sci-Fi look to them. The Luchs Spah Trupp represents that very well indeed.
Also, who could pass up big trucks covered in rockets!?
All of these models look great and the camouflage patterns are something I'd be interested in seeing done as I think the techniques for it have produced a neat finish.
But this isn't all they have in store for you.
Infantry
As well as the big tanks, vehicles, support and all that they also have some very useful infantry teams which are there to take and hold objectives.
The two sets already previewed by Battlefront give you the key basic infantry and then another set which come with more rocket launchers for dealing with all those vehicles which are going to be rolling around.
Taking To The Skies
Fighting in the skies above and supporting the battle on the ground we also have the upcoming release of the PAH Anti-Tank Helicopter Flight and the Tornado Strike Flight.
The Tornados in particular are looking utterly sublime - a great jet and one that I think is rather iconic. I love the shape of it, once again crossing that line between the need for something 'Modern' and futuristic. They will certainly be hurtling across a fair few battlefields I reckon.
Talking of the battlefields you'll be running around on there is actually new terrain on the way too.
Fast Food & Farming
Showing off the clash of worlds happening during this period of history they have got this neat Fast Food Restaurant and...
...a nice Farm which would be great for objectives and of course as simple set dressing in Team Yankee.
Is your interest sufficiently peaked by all of this loveliness from Battlefront?
What will you be ordering?

All of those are really good.
It had to be the Tornado. Very cool.
I wonder if the Jaguar will feature in the British release.
I think the Harrier GR1 will make an appearance with the Brits over the Jag. Both great looking aircraft though.
Gepard – the tank I most drooled over in the 80s Tamiya catalogues.
…me too!
I told the Mrs last night I was going to pass on buying the W Germans then spent 40 mins talking about how a W German force would give better options than the US. W German infantry with MILAN, that’s going to cause problems for my rampaging T-72s and BMPs.
I must be strong and wait for the BAOR later this year.
I will stay strong. I will stay strong. repeat after me … will not click the link.
they all look great & the chopper’s are Messerschmitt’s.
Time to sell a kidney
I am quite peckish…
It would be a travesty if the Brits didn’t get the Harrier, although I suppose it’s possible that the Harrier could sit in the helicopter/VTOL slot.
I’m actually surprised that the Tornado isn’t boxed as a West German/British release seeing as it was a joint project. Part of me is still hoping that the Brits will have access to the Tornado, but it would strike me as strange to then rerelease the exact same models with a different box.
AH CRAP!!!! these look sooo good, what to do with my US, hmmmmm can I have both??
Those Tornados look fantastic!!!!
