The guys at NDNG and BTA have given us an early look at what is coming: Team Yankee v2 TEAM YANKEE V2: WINNERS AND LOSERS All books are still good to use (except the v1 rulebook). No changes in unit cards Changes are closely aligned with FoW v4

As we get closer to competitive events (DOGS-OF-WAR, ENFILADE 2020), be mindful of the rules and FAQ regarding Command Cards. I noticed that many of the command card packs do not have the paper insert that covers Command Card rules. Information is free online for you to review/download/print: Command Cards Rules download Command Cards FAQ

Read this article: "World War III: Team Yankee: What To Expect" This part is important: " Do I Need New Army Books? Simple answer is no. No army books will become invalidated in the transition. You can carry on happily using any Team Yankee book you might already own."

CONFIRMED RESERVATION: Extra Life room at Guardian Games, rented for $40.00 for 4 hours, 12 to 4 PM, SAT, DEC 28

NO Flames-of-War nor Team-Yankee game on THU, NOV 28. Guardian Games is CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING.

If some of the gamers in SW Washington cannot make the DEC event, perhaps someone from there could corral a few guys from that area arrange for a Sunday event in January to have a second social/discussion event. I would MC that second event if we could agree on a location could be somewhere between Portland and Lakewood/Olympia. Maybe the Denny's in Kelso, WA? (110 S Kelso Dr, Kelso, WA 98626) just east of Longview, WA? Or someone could suggest something else. Failing that, I can make an online survey for the gamers that missed the December event

I am considering renting the Extra Life room at Guardian Games, for $40.00 for 4 hours, 12-4 PM. It is quiet and can comfortably accommodate 12-20 people. I could get a smaller room for less $, but the next smaller size only holds 8 people. I expect we will have between 9 and 12 attendees, but i could be overly optimistic. Food: We cold have a combination of food truck, delivered pizza and bring-you-own food

This Unit is finally on the schedule, but there is not yet an article making the announcement. However, when you scroll to the bottom of the home page, there it is: D-Day 21st Panzer Releases December Releases D-Day: 21st Panzer Booklet+Cards (FW268) 7.5cm or 10.5cm 39H (Direct Only) (GE127) U304F Halftrack (Direct Only) (GE245) Reihenwerfer (Direct Only) (GE212) S307(f) 7.5 Gun (Direct Only) (GE214) Lorraine Schelepper (Direct Only) (GE149) 21st Panzer Token set (x20 Tokens, x2 Objectives (GSO905) In case you think that only this division had captured French armor...read on. Niklas Zetterling, in his book "German Military Organization, Combat Power and Organizational Effectiveness" lists "Self-propelled PAK-40 Anti-tank guns" within the organization of several of the German Infantry Divisions in Normandy. He notes that for several of the divisions, these were neither Marders, nor StuG's. He then speculates that they might have been locally modified vehicles. From there, one can draw the conclusion that they were beutepanzers similar to "Becker's Funnies". For those of you who don't have the book, this same author put some of his research online, which can still be accessed via the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20061113071918fw_/http://web.telia.com/~u18313395/normandy/gerob/infdiv/716id.html There is some more online at http://web.telia.com/~u18313395/normandy/gerob/gerob.html
