A what if? Faction

 So since Team Yankee is technically science fiction as it's a historical game set in an alternative history I have an idea to flesh out my French faction

Les brigade Vietnamese etranger

Or The French Vietnamese Legion made up of expat Vietnamese using surplus American kit.

Why not?

Hold the bridges! Soviets vs British and ANZAC

A new section of Marders

 Way back in the day while I was in Funabashi, Chiba Japan, I had gotten several Roco Mini-tank versions of theater.

However I had yet to get Battlefront Minatures ones.

Today that changed!

Plus I now have a unit card for the vehicles thselves.

So my Panzergrenadier Regiment will be able to take on the Soviet hordes.

Currently I now have I believe 8. So I can run 2 companies of Panzergrenadiers in Marders with the rest in M113s.  

One of the cadets on my staff was so keen on building kits he did up 3 of them. Next night shifts on duty we shall battle.

Once i get back to my home I will set up my West Germans to see what I have and what I need.

4CMBG vs DDR Panzer Division

 

My cadets running a game of Fortress America during a game night

Several of the cadets are very interested in FOW so we ran a Team Yankee game 

The Canadian Forces attempted to drive out the East Germans.  The Canadian gunners of the RCHA did well as did the Dragoons but the East Germans however held the position.

The Warsaw Pact wins the battle. A Soviet T-62 battalion flanked the West Germans. The French pulled back to a further defensive line.

A new bridge

 

I got this KATO bridge from Great Hobbies in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia back at Christmas. 

I had wanted to get while still in Japan. My plan is to build up terrain to have a railroad for my 20th century games to fight around.
