CURRENT AD-COPY for TEAM YANKEE :
DESCRIPTION #1:
Team Yankee Learn-to-Play:
It’s 1985 and the European nations of NATO stands ready with 10,000 tanks to resist an attack by 40,000 Warsaw Pact Tanks. It was a war that didn't happen...but what if it did?
Team Yankee is a tabletop miniatures game that puts you in a modern tank, commanding miniature forces in a 3-D landscape. The game models this alternative war as seen from US Army Captain Sean Bannon’s tank, in command of Team Yankee. You could take the role of Colonel Yuri Potecknov, in command of Soviet Tanks and Motorized Rifle troops. With action that is fast and furious, lead your tanks, helicopters and jets into battle. Defeat and death are as close as victory.
Our game masters will teach you the game and loan you forces. They will lead you through a commander's boot camp that catapults you into an alternative reality that you (and your dice) control. Become a TANK ACE and win a painted tank!
Join us on the 1st Saturday of MARCH, MAY and DECEMBER from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Guardian Games.

Team Yankee Battles:
Join us for intense battles of modern armored combat. You command tabletop miniature armies in a 3-D battlefield. With action that is rapid and immersive, lead your model tanks, missiles, helicopters and jets into a fast-paced battle. Jump into an alternative reality where you role-play the characters in the novels “Team Yankee” or “Red Storm Rising”.
Join us on the 1st Saturday of MARCH, MAY and DECEMBER from 1:30 to 5:00 PM at Guardian Games.

DESCRIPTION #2:
Team Yankee and Oil War
TEAM YANKEE
Team Yankee is a book by Harold Coyle in 1987 about a fictitious Soviet attack into Germany from the viewpoint of Captain Bannon commanding Team Yankee, an Armor-heavy Combat Team in the US Army. It’s also a stand-alone game released by Battlefront, covering the forces of NATO: USA, United Kingdom, West Germany, France, Canada, the Netherlands and Australian forces in Europe. Representing the Warsaw Pact are: the USSR, East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Advance your tanks through a lethal battlefield while attack aircraft fly overhead, and missiles deliver destruction across your tabletop.
OIL WAR
In the Middle East, Iran and Iraq had been locked in a conflict across their border since 1980 and looked unlikely to stop anytime soon.  Further west, Israel and Syria had come to blows in Lebanon as Israel fought PLO forces operating from inside their northern neighbor. The oil rich region, already rife with conflict and tension, is drawn into World War III as the Soviet Union and US led NATO set about protecting their interests to control the flow of oil. Role-play Armored juggernauts seeking out their prey, from Israel, Syria, Iran and Iraq, backed by US or Soviet forces, as helicopters hunt tanks and jets streak across your tabletop.
