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. This former New York Times bestseller by Harold Coyle, now revised and expanded, presents a glimpse of what it would have been like for Team Yankee: World War III Allied soldiers who would have had to meet a relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions. It takes the view of a US tank commander, who is vastly outnumbered during the initial onslaught, as the Russians pull out all the cards learned in their successful war against Germany. Show More.

That may surprise many who know me Team Yankee: World War III I have only ever played Soviet and East Block type forces in Team Yankee so far. But the reality is that US forces were my first purchase for Team Yankee and I have quite a collection of US units still boxed and waiting to be built. I only shifted to Soviets to help the force balance in my local gaming area. By now my Soviets are quite complete and its time for me to go full throttle into Americans for Team Yankee with this new book. All the formations and support that were available to the US player in S tripes are also in the new book. This period saw a rapid rearming and reorganization of the US army. These beast are impressive and are now the absolute best tank in WW3 Team Yankee. But that domination comes at a steep price. You cannot deny their stats, but at these prices, MA1A1 and M1A1HC use may be limited to a single platoon supporting a lighter cheaper formation. This means if you have reserves in your mission, this beast will have to go in to reserve leaving a much smaller force trying to hang on until the tanks roll in. Battlefront is now providing the US player four variants of the M1 Abrams tank. So you could add APUs to any of these. The straight M1s would never have had them. The APUs were very important. They allowed the tank to be completely powered while stationary without having to run the gas-guzzling turbine. The Team Yankee: World War III burned nearly as much fuel while idling as they did driving at full speed. Players have been clamoring for these since the original release of Team Yankee. The M3 though gave up much of the troop compartment to make room for more TOW Missiles and 25mm ammo. The M3 actually only had room for two scouts that could dismount. Yes, they were designed to be amphibious but in reality, they Team Yankee: World War III unstable and dangerous when swimming. You really should not use the amphibious rule. This is especially true for the M2A2 and M3A2 which had the swimming trim vanes removed. You might Team Yankee: World War III noticed that instead of the TOW missiles from Stripes. This formation has a lot of available core units. This is doctrinally correct for reconnaissance and screening missions, but if the troop ever had to attack or defend, the sections would likely form back up into platoons of six CFVs. My chief concern here is that with just two M3s in a section, the loss of one means that section immediately goes into Poor Spirits. These come in at six points apiece. I was a bit surprised Team Yankee: World War III the Rate of Fire stayed at just one. A good AH gunner would have several missiles staggered in the air at once so after one missile hit home, the next was already halfway to the next target. The British have had these in the rules for quite a while but they have finally caught up in the US arsenal now. These are three points apiece, like Team Yankee: World War III counterparts in the British army and they have the same minelet ammunition option. What we have covered thus far in this article adds all one needs to complete historical US forces for to time frame. But in this book, we are getting full experimental formations and even more experimental equipment. This division was stationed at Ft Lewis Washington with two light infantry brigades that rode to battle on Fast Attack Vehicles basically dune buggies that were eventually replaced with more reliable and safer HUMMWVs. It was meant to be part of a rapid response force that could deploy almost anywhere in the world very quickly. So all if its equipment was very light. This is a decent multi-purpose force at a low cost. All of the 9th Infantry Division Motorized formations lack any sort of formation fire support. However, they are cheap enough and versatile enough that they make a perfect second, or third formation in a US force. Dune buggies for the win! All the Marine formations, units, and equipment that were Team Yankee: World War III in Stripes are back in the new book. The TOW-2 upgrade is a great buy. Normally it only costs just a single point to upgrade the unit. All must be upgraded or none. So Team Yankee: World War III you have it. I am definitely motivated to start working on my US models I have now and to be ready to add to them as soon as the new models arrive. I want to fit them to the M1 Abrams models I bought years ago.
