The Germans are Coming

[RKelly]

Gents,

You gotta check out the Team Yankee site. The Germans have been previewed and they look amazing (and I don't use the word amazing very often). Leopard 2's, Marders and Gepards. Wow. Arriving in July and you know that the Germans are always on time.

[Twinlinked]

[Matt Varnish]

they said the plastics are tanks and the IFVs....

[Twinlinked]

[lothlann]

that would be a reason for me to get in, I've always liked the leopard series of tanks, the leopard 2 is just cool. Anyone want to buy my soviet so i can reinvest in Germans?

[Matt Varnish]

As germans or Cdns?

Or did the Swiss have any?

[lothlann]

what time period is team yankme, swiss had panzer 68 from 70s to 80s and leopard 2 from 87 to preset.

Canadians had Leo 1 in the 80s. We didn't get Leo 2 until 2007 !!!!!

[RKelly]

It looks like you can use Leo I in one list, but I'll be using Leo II as German allies. Interesting to see if the German infantry can be painted to look Canadian. I'm very excited for this stuff.

[Matt Varnish]

Most interesting. I wonder if this will open the gate for T-55's, T-62's, and T-90's?

[Luggs]

T80's perhaps but not T90s........

[Glitch]

Heh... Typo... But I wouldn't say no to T-90's either. Though, if that were the case, I really really really want Challengers...

[lothlann]

what is the time frame for team yankme? 70s-90s?

[Twinlinked]

i thought it was 80s.. so that sounds right,

[Glitch]

1985

[lothlann]

cool, good to know so i can look at what counties had what equipment at that time.

[Twinlinked]

Did someone say they are releasing leopard 1s as well?

I wonder if they will release any if the Canadian stuff like ferrets and such?

A.

[RKelly]

Ferrets were long gone by 1985. With luck we'll get the Lynx recce vehicle.

[Glitch]

It seems like we phased Ferrets out by 1981, but if you still really want one...

Also, Rob... For Canadian Infantry...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

He's doing in conjunction with ArmiesArmy, which just had their own kickstarter (which they actually shipped on time), so it looks promising, though I probably won't pick up any until they're in full production...

I will say that if anyone is interested in picking up anything from this company... All I need is a bit of a shove and I'll probably cave and buy some Challengers....

[RKelly]

Trying not to get too excited about Canuck Miniatures as their first green doesn't capture the Canadian webbing, so we'll see. But then a Kickstarter platoon is pretty cheap.

Now these guys in 28mm have the uniform spot on
