This set comes with everything that you need to start playing as the Warsaw Pact forces in Battlefront's Team Yankee. A decent combined arms force with heavy mechanised infantry, armour, and air support, alongside ground-based anti-aircraft, should cover all the bases for new Team Yankee players.

Great starter set. Will definitely be getting one to bolster my Warsaw Pact force.
Battlefront’s tanks are superb – a joy to work with and paint.
Just one personal gripe though – going by the shape of the sprues John showed, the infantry is soft plastic.
Man but I hate soft plastic. I so wish Battlefront would go back to using the harder stuff again.
With Battlefront making the odd decision to leave out the PKM LMG teams the infantry is pretty useless tbh. This starter would have been a great base to build from had they been included. Maybe this works for some of the army lists for the Pact nations, but it is not much use for a Soviet list.
It is clear by now that the TY starter boxes are all plastic, and so the reason why this is the first starter with infantry included is because this is the only plastic infantry they make. As they shift away from metal we might see more later, but that may take a while.
