Team Yankee Soviets versus Marines

Team Yankee Soviets vs Marines

We played a demo game at one of our area stores that supports 

Team Yankee. Our goal is to get new players involved and lay

groundwork for an upcoming league. 

Our list focused on tanks and air as they are attention grabbers. 

The game occurred about six weeks back but I still wanted to get

our pictures posted. 

A combined force of US Marines and Army square off against the 

Soviet horde. 

Cobras ready to hit the Soviets

M60s engage the right flank

Soviets ready to defend the autobahn overpass or strike across it

The forces parry across the autobahn 

Harriers meet their end in an ill fated and poorly timed run at the BMPs

All of the USA scattered reserved entered on the right early and the left

the Abrams holding the left as a ripe target for the Hinds

The Hinds strike hard while the Soviet Infantry advances

The Cobras destroy the Hind threat and desperately try and hold the objective 

with one VADS and the commander M60

A desperate counterattack in the middle to save the objective on the left

Lots of burning wrecks on both sides

A last second dash toward the objective on the right into the teeth of 

the defenses meets with destruction 

Conclusion 

The game ended in a solid Soviet victory. Yet another fast food joint falls

during the invasion of Germany. We had a great demo game with both of

us having fun and a few folks watching here and there. I appreciate games 

with Ken who plays the right way. I have enjoyed every FoW and Team

Yankee game we’ve played. We appreciate the visits, comments, and follows 

Team Yankee - USA versus Czechs AAR

Situation 

The Soviets have moved their frontline units in a thrust to the south. A Czech force appears to be ready to withdraw from the town they now occupy. 

The US force is moving quickly and hopes with a little nudge the Czechs will quit the town. 

 

Mission

We are playing a 70 point fighting withdrawal with the Czechs defending. 

The Game

The US advances around the wooded hill to engage the BMPs and T55s on the left while two Cobras watch the right. M109s bring fire on the road junction to break up the rear of the Czech forces. 

 

 

The Abrams destroy several BMPs and their comrades decide to quit the field. 

 

The US prepares for the second stage of the attack

T72s and Helocopters appear on the left. 

 

 

Czech Artillery, tank, and ATGM fire is taking a toll on the US but hopefully the Airforce support will arrive and thin the hoard. 

 

The A-10s sweep through the Czech reserves. Heavy AA fire keeps their run from doing any real damage but they both survive!

 

The US AA moves to engage the Czech helicopters and destroys the both a turn later after surviving a volley of fire from the Czech infantry. 

The Czech have shot down the Cobras, destroyed the AA, and knocked out my other TOW support. The US withdraws and for today the Czechs still control the McDonalds!

Recap

This was my first game of Team Yankee and I really had fun. I appreciate Ken setting up a great table and offer a fun great spirited game as always. 

He used the East German lists but his vehicles look great with Czech decals and all. I used what I owned but I learned a ton in my first game about how to better build my force and not to mention never play at 70 points! I knew this was going to be a tough day as we ramfomed a defensive mission and I ended as the attacker. I used my Cobras and A10s poorly even with Ken's coaching. I very much look forward to my next game and yes I noticed that I lacked pictures of my stuff blown up.
