Lord Hanaur Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Team Yankee seems cool. I don't know what Micro armor means though.Is that just who makes the models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Nowadays it's a catch-all phrase for 6mm/1:285 miniatures. There are several manufacturers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noland Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just the usual two. AAR: Hinds and Frogs tore up the table. Playing 6mm w/o,infantry makes Yankee forces very open to air attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Agreed. I was in an Army tactical Air Defense battalion in the 80's. Vulcan ADA Guns without missiles (Redeyes and Chaparrals) doesn't get the job done. HINDs are too tough and Frogfoots too fast for guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I will post a message in BF FoW forum asking about their plans for a model of the M48 Chaparral SAM (a.k.a. "Short-Range Air Defense Missile System")http://www.military-today.com/missiles/m48_chaparral.htm Also, I will make a second post about the lack of dedicated Air Defense for the Germans.

Centurious Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Germans are getting Gepards and Rolands for dedicated AA. They are due out in late July and late Aug respectively according to the Flames website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noland Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Chaparrals will give the frog foots a run for their money. I hope to see the. Played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
