Team Yankee Starter Set

[bobcockayne]

For those that haven’t seen it, Mr Warren and the team have put this item up for pre-order on the store, 16 15mm minatures for £28, includes the new T80 and BMP3’s, so nice I  ordered two. I won’t say any more as I don’t want to steal Ben’s thunder.

The Americans get the (‘new’) M60 Patton tanks, which aren’t in their ‘big’ starter army.

Silly question :
Why buy the starter set when you can buy the American starter army ?
Sure the latter is twice the price, but it’s also got the Hummers, M109 and Apache helicopters.

The only thing missing are the dice …

Maybe buy both and have all the tools for an American army, except the infantry?

Good stuff. I’d love to know whether the T-80 only comes as the T-80U variant. I’d hope there would be a T80B possible from the kit without having to chop it up!

[bobcockayne]

At the moment for the Soviets , but you can use the Americans to boost your forces, plus there is the biggest the price!

It’s mighty tempting to grab I must admit.

Yes, great value. Aimed at folk who are completely new to Team Yankee, but also a steal for those of us who already have an army. My main force is British (starter army + lots of extras) and this will round out a useable 100 point American force and make a start on a Soviet army.

I think the Soviet starter box is due in November.

@bloodmoonorc chances are there are several options for the T80 on the sprue. I don’t know if they’d cover the variant you mention, because I know nothing about tanks except for the fact that Battlefront tend to have several options for most plastic vehicles.
