Syrian Vehicles for Team Yankee Oil War
A short while ago I did a tutorial video and post regarding a bit of a new Mini Project for Yarkshire Gamer, a mid 1980s Arab Israeli collection mostly using the Team Yankee models available from Battlefront. They are 15mm which is smaller than most of my more recent collections but I did look at 20mm and 28mm but couldn’t find a decent range of figures and kits in either of those scales for the time period I was looking at, Yom Kippor and earlier loads of stuff, later nothing.
The photo above shows my first batch of vehicles, sufficient to get some playtesting done, with a few sets of rules to see what we like.
I like the presentation of Team Yankee but watching games on the Utubes it’s very Warhammer like with the IGO kill everything and then UGO with what’s left activation system. Which isn’t what we do, the rules are clearly designed for a small table club game (which is great if that’s what you want) where as I want large table weekend rules.
It would be a shame not to use the wonderfully produced and presented unit cards so I will be giving Team Yankee a go but with alternative activation systems. Firstly I will try our current card driven activation and see how that goes before trying an order chit (Johnny Reb style) system and see if that works.
Failure would send me initially to Battlegroup with a back up of Fist Full of TOWs and Modern Spearhead in reserve.
I’ve done the vehicles in a 3 colour colour scheme common to the pictures of Syrian tanks I can find from the time period. It consists of a sand yellow, a deep green and a mid to light grey, it often looks very worn in some of the real life shots. I did the basics with an airbrush, I will do a video tutorial on the next batch I do.
I’m quite happy with how these have turned out, a nice basic fairly straight forward paint job but plenty good enough for what I want.
