Flames of War: Team Yankee - Bannons Boys
Here is the new set for Team Yankee that is a Pre-order time due to be released December 12.
The original release date was November 27 which is delayed due to some unforeseen issues. Because of this the set will actual come with 6 M1 Abrams Tanks instead of 5. So an extra tank for anyone who pre-orders the box set.
One of the early configurations included some M113 APCs but those were removed from the item description. Miniature Market has this at around $80 which makes it a little more bearable.
I like the idea of the unit cards and including a template is always helpful especially since it is supposed to be a new type of Salvo template. I love the idea of AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters included. I really want M2 or M3 Bradleys but I think I need to keep my fingers crossed since Battlefront hasn't shown any evidence of producing these anytime soon.
I am not a fan of a supposed "Starter" set that does not include quick start rules and it has a high price point for not including the option to conduct a two player game. It is my understanding that Battlefront will have some sort of online quick start rules so that will help if they produce. The Russian set is a little more money but you get almost double the tanks. I will highlight that set a little later.
I am still on the fence but it could be promising if the rules are truly streamlined and the unit cards are effective. We will see.......
