I'm not too far from RCG. But my play time is severely limited currently. That being said, I'd be up for some small games myself.

I hear ya man. If you can't make it out this time around just let us know. I'd like to setup one meet up a month pending on who is available.

That’s awesome! I can do something on the 25th. They have some killer tots at RCG! I may have to check Geeks and Games to see what they got

Hello everyone! 

      Reviving this thread! Anyone interested in getting together at Red Castle Games for a game next month? Looking to do a casual game and getting back into it!

Hey Everyone,

     Still looking for a good home for them. If you're willing to pick it up at my place you can have them for free. I live in Sellwood. PM if you're interested.

Very nice! I’ve got the book but with the NATO book coming out later this year I was going to hold off. 

Cool! Looking forward to it!

I have so many armies right now. Must… resist…

Anyone excited for these to come in 2023?

Got a bit ambitious and been carrying these two for awhile. Both never opened. Looking for $140. Thanks!

Is this the epic scale ACW I have been hearing about? 

Yup

Hello everyone,

        Bought this stuff thinking I’d start a new game but it’s been collecting dust. The box is opened but everything is still there on the sprue. Looking to sell em for $100. Thanks!

Yup, I picked up a T-72 starter box. Really love getting those hinds. Thinking of getting another for sure! 

Yeah, there isn't much to pull from historically. A few new toys for the other non-soviet factions but not huge changes. I'm excited to run T-72B now as Polish!

I think it's a great list. It's a simple list that give you a good variety of units to start off with. For the Soviet list I'm leaning towards going with two companies instead of 3. Gives the two companies better staying power. If any of those companies take 2 casualties they'd be forced to take a morale check. With Abrams that's a good possibility!

I've played a couple of games so far, 100pts being the largest. One thing about TY is that the point difference between units can be quite large. In all honestly, some units are as small as 1 point, while the heavy tanks can easily get to 60+ points for a single unit. I'd recommend trying to keep units under 20pts so that you have enough to cover objectives and handle reserve deployment.

For sure! Seems like there are a few folks interested. Me and my buddy are just happy to play. If we got 1 or two more that would be awesome. Some dice rolling and pretty cool terrain. I've been amassing battlefront terrain for the past year or so. Love to see them on the table! Or even do a campaign I think would be fun.

Thanks for getting the convo going @Atules!  @Brother Glacius, come on down, army ready or not!

Wait, when is this this? What did I just kind of commit myself to?🙂

Beyond that, what is the smallest engagement that you can play that gives you a reasonable taste of what Team Yankee is like to play? 60 Points? 100 Points? I watched a battle report the other day that had no Air/Helicopters or Artillery, so it was really just a good exploration of the tank mechanics. 

I'm reminded of @Raindog's excellent Infinity Bootcamps to learn the basic mechanics of that game. The immediate next step should be a relatively short/small/simple match. Something like clicking 'Instant Action' in Mechwarrior video games. 2 simple core groups, no frills, but spaced out enough to start to learn maneuver and fire in terrain.

How do you break down learning a game system is a way that is fun, effective, and repeatable? I add repeatable because it is likely an experienced player takes multiple new players through a learning match, and a new player may want to go through it more than once, or as a refresher..

 

 

There are a lot of great learn to play videos. I think going with 50pts and starting with tanks is a good approach to get used to the terrain rules and give people a feel how the mechanics work. Plus, things blow up so quickly that it makes the games really short! Maybe 75pts to get a taste of everything?

I’m TY curious

Nice! Once RCG opens up we can get ya a demo

Whoa! Don't have to wait that long! I'm starting my polish and got a pretty good Brit army so you can always borrow some my minis if you need to. We'll also do some paint nights to get to know folks. Just join us for paint night to talk TY and throw some dice. No worries!

Haha, yeah I haven’t had a chance to play too many games but I’m already starting a Polish army along with the Israeli and British one I already have. Gotta make it worth it!

Hello everyone!

     Buddy and I are looking for a few Team Yankee players near Portland. Red Castle Games is slowly opening up for in person gaming and looking to start a casual once a month get together. If you're interested please post here!

Hello everyone, got unopened box of Alarielle and Warsong Revenant that I'm looking to offload. Alarielle for $115 and Warsong Revenant for $45. Both for $150. PM if you're interested. Thanks!

What's cool about this picture, is it captures 2 different phases of a potential painting process, it also shows two different levels of success printing the same slt 3d file on the same printer, with different settings, and quality/age of resin.

Paint: Vallejo 70-894 Cam Olive Green, dry brush Iraqi Sand, darker model has a full wash of p3 armor wash, but I think most black washes will work. Probably overdone.

Printer: Elegoo Mars 2 Pro

Resin: Elegoo Grey

Lighter tank was expired resin by 2 or 3 months. Likely printed in the garage with ambient temp below 72f. Probably my first try at ChituBox settings for this printer. 

Darker tank, fresh resin. Dialed in printer settings. Moved the printer to my hobby space, from my garage. Appropriate ventilation available. 

The quality difference is most noticeable on the reactive armor bricks on the turrets.  

 

These look great! I just picked up a 3D printer myself. Where did you get your stl from?

Thank you for the insight! All of this makes sense

I have an assembled box of start collecting box of Daemons of Nurgle, tome, and Cycle of Corruption dial. Looking for $100 for all of it

Picture

I've just started actually playing a few games of TY and it's been a blast! I have a few rule questions and some British related questions.

1. Are helicopters considered moving when they appear on the table from loitering? I'm trying to figure out if a Lynx can fire tow when they get to the board
2. When playing on a map as a defender and with British airmobile, can the infantry start on the board inside buildings and not have to arrive in transports? 
3. Can Lynx transports drop off, loiter, then come back to transport infantry to another part of the board?
4. Is an airmobile company list competitive?
5. I've also heard that milan spam is no longer a thing since the new edition. Why is that?

Thanks in advance!
