Team Yankee Total 2 There comes a point in every gamer’s life when they want to WHAT IS TOTAL WAR? do something big. Total War is designed to do just that—put Total War is a large point level game of Team Yankee, played big armies on big tables. Instead of a mere Formation, you by two or more players. In normal games you tend to play at can field your entire collection at once. the Formation level, with games averaging about 100 points Just think, hundreds of points of Team Yankee troops arrayed or so. However, in Total War you will fight alongside other across a large table, multiple companies under your com- formations, forming a battalion level game with armies on mand. The infantry holding the line on the right while the both sides worth 500 points or more! tanks advance forward on the left. The ebb and flow of battle Why play Total War? begins, your tanks rolling up the enemy force as it advances on the left, your gallant infantry first holding the line then Total War is geared towards having fun. It is more of a social surging forward on the right. game than a competitive one. To that end, the Total War rules and missions are designed to be fun and intriguing. With the battlegroup rules you have the chance to put any Though the forces are balanced against each other, Total War size force on the table and go head to head with someone is not entirely focused on who are the winners and losers but else. There is no limit to the points you can field, so long as rather on making sure all players have a fun and interest- the table is large enough. And how much better are the brag- ing game, while also giving players the excuse to do daring ging rights once you have beaten your enemy on a 20 foot/ things, field odd forces, or play with a lot more points than six metre-long table? they’d normally get to use on the battlefield. Total War also gives you a chance to change the flavour of your games, get a bunch of friends together, and play a big multi-player game. Instead of facing your friends across the table, join forces with them to take on another team of friends. Order some pizza and drinks and make a real event of it! Your tanks have smashed through the enemy’s defences. PLANNING Your friend’s infantry company has forced its way through Like most things, Total War battles run more smoothly if the town. He has cut off the only remaining enemy rein- you do some planning beforehand.

It’s your chance to find out just how nasty a Total War games usually take longer than the usual game, you large Formation of Leopard II tanks is, and to find out if they may need to book a table. Make sure you inform the store can stop a whole battalion-sized combined-arms task force or owner or club organiser how long you need the table for. If even an entire regiment of Soviet tanks! you are playing a really big game, you may need to book a With Total War you can play bigger games with more friends hall or get a store owner to put all of their tables together for than you have ever played before. In the end though, what a big event. Total War is really about is having even more fun! Once you have arranged a table, make sure that you tell all of your players when the game is and what they are expected to bring in the way of terrain and forces. 3 PICKING FORCES Even low-points units change in bigger battles. Hordes of lighter tanks get really big and massed infantry formations You need to make sure that your players know what type positively enormous! Unfortunately, the enemy has even of army they need to build and bring to your battle and more weapons to chew them up, so you’ll need some really to give them time to put it together. Team games should tough support to cover their advance too. Think about how range from 150 to 250 points for two player teams to 200 to much time you have before you create too big a horde, it can 400 points for three or more player games. If you go beyond take a while just to move all of your models! 400 points, you may need a bigger table and more terrain (not to mention more time!). There are two ways of organising this. You can either give MULTI-PLAYER GAMES each player a points total to build their force and then com- Total War is ideal for big multi-player games at the club or bine them on the day, or can have the players get together in your local store. Have everyone bring a force, then divide to create a single integrated force in which each player’s players into two teams with roughly the same number of Formation has a designated role. players and the same number of points. Big multi-player games are great when you have lots of CHOOSING A THEME players and not enough tables. Push a couple of tables together and you can have a awesome game with six or eight While you can just tell everyone to bring along a force, it players without taking up much more space than a normal can be much more fun to choose a theme for the game. This two-player game. could be a historical battle or an interesting tactical situation that you have created a scenario for. If you can, let everyone know when the game is and pick their teams in advance. You can take a theme as far as you like. You could just theme the terrain and the forces to generally match a particular battle, or you could go the whole hog and create a couple of TEAM GAMES centrepiece terrain features with some scenario special rules In a team game each player commands their own force.

MORE SUPPORT UNITS TRY THINGS OUT Total War is about big forces and trying out different forces, so the limitations on the number of each type of Support Total War is also a great way to try out units you wouldn’t Unit are removed. Each player has their own Support Units normally take. Units like a full battalion of T-64 tanks or and can take as many of each type as they like. If they are a full Formation of Leopard tanks that cost lots of points taking multiples of the same type of Support Unit, they can be a bit expensive for smaller forces, yet they fit nicely may want to group them into a Support Formation (see into a large Total War game. Taking plenty of big nasties like next page). these make your force really hard. Of course, they also chew up points and can leave you open to being outmanoeuvred on a larger table.

Overview This revised and updated edition of the classic Cold War novel Team Yankee reminds us once again might have occurred had the United States and its Allies taken on the Russians in Team Yankee: World War III, had cooler geopolitical heads not prevailed. When Nazi Germany was destroyed, it was evident that Russian tank armies had become supreme in Europe, but only in counterpart to US air power. Likewise when the Russians overran Berlin they sent a signal to the Allies what their land armies could accomplish. Thankfully the tense standoff continued on either side of the Iron Curtain for nearly half a century. During those years, however, the Allies beefed up their ground capability, while the Soviets increased their air capability, even as the new jet and missile age began thanks much to captured German scientists on both sides. Team Yankee posits a conflict that never happened, but which very well might have, and for which both sides prepared for decades.

    With the squadron commander’s Spartan burning furiously on the road next to the church and contact with regiment spotty due to jamming, Captain Moran realized it was up to him to decide when to break contact. They’d rehearsed doing this time and again during map exercises back in garrison. Yet even then, it had always been a tricky affair, with decisions based more on guesswork than a clear, concise assessment of the situation. Doing so under fire, with the Russians ready to pounce on them the second they realized the squadron was pulling out would be ‘interesting’. One mistake would be deadly. After a quick glance down at the map laid out on the roof of his Spartan, he decided 1 Troop would be the next to go. It was not only the most exposed, the lieutenant commanding it was, in his opinion, on the verge of cracking under the stress of probes by Russian infantry who were infesting the woods on the squadron’s left. If that troop was to stand any chance of escaping, 4 Troop’s Strikers would have to suppress the Russian tanks in the woods from its position in the village. “Right,” the 2IC murmured to himself under his breath. “Let’s see if we can make this…” The whine of incoming artillery caused the 2IC to drop down into the turret of his Scimitar, putting an end to both his mutterings and his preparations for the moment.

    The Corps commander began to run his finger along the front line trace of his units, stopping every so oten to study Warsaw Pact forces that were opposing the corps. Without turning away from the map, and motioning with his hand as he spoke, the general began to issue instructions to his operations officer. “Frank, get your plans people to work on an attack centered around the 21st Panzer Division. As soon as the French relieve it, I want the 21st to move here and attack north into the Thuringer Wald. The mission of the 21st is to breach the Soviet security screen and then cross the IZB here. The second phase of the operation will be to continue the attack north across the Saale River towards Leipzig.” The operations officer studied the map for a moment, then turned to the general. “Sir, can I plan on using the 25th Armored Division? Also, how far do you want us to plan ater we reach Leipzig?” “Use everything we’ve got. For planning purposes you will consider our axis of advance from where we are to Leipzig, Berlin, and finally the Baltic coast. I intend to go for broke. Until one of the Jedi knights in the G-3 Plans section comes up with a more fearsome name, we’re calling this operation Winner Take All.” As well as playing free-form missions, you can play specific the scenario, and play it out.

  • Imagining the Third World War
    206 Imagining the Third World War Discussions about NATO’s conventional defence in the 1970s Benedict von Bremen During the 1970s, military planners east and west of the “Iron Curtain” continued to prepare for a potential “hot” conflict between the two opposing military alliances, the Warsaw Treaty Organization and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Then-divided Germany – called the Central Region by NATO – would have been the main battleground of such a conflict. But how would that Third World War, and especially its conventional side, be fought? In NATO’s realm, this question not only occupied the thinking of military headquarters and national defence ministries, but also that of other military “experts.” The resulting often international textual discourse ranged from military doctrine to news- paper articles to future histories, that mirrored not only the change of strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response” but also intra- alliance issues such as equitable sharing of the military burden and the influence of latest weapons technology on strategy and tactics. And while World War III between the Warsaw Pact and the Atlantic Alliance never materialized, both sides spent billions on materiel and stationed millions of soldiers in preparations for a war that never happened and that continues to stimulate imaginations of war up to this day. It is a sunny and quiet morning somewhere along the border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. All of a sudden, delta-winged MiG-21 fighter jets thunder overhead from east to west. Then, a platoon of Soviet T-62 tanks rumbles through an opening in the East German border defences and enters West German territory, followed by BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles.
