"Are You Playing Team Yankee?" Topic

Are you playing Flames of War: Team Yankee?

Oh yes – played a huge solo game yesterday, playing with 3 others at the club tonight…

No.

No, I would love to, but don't have the time. Will probably start and use 6mm next year.

I will be eventually. Part of my current sale miniatures is to finance going with 15mm moderns.

No.

Yup. 6mm but using printed counters.

I'll probably pick up the rules to use with my 20+ year-old collection of micro armor.

Nope

Nope.

I bought the rules but haven't played yet – planning to use my huge 6mm collection – hoping the ruleset does well enough for them to expand the unit types

No.

No.

No.

No, but I am drooling over the toys and getting hyped by the ripple effect it is having on other manufacturers.

A friend gave me a set of the rules, he got a replacement for a set lost in the post then the original set turned up weeks later, BFrnt told him not to bother returning the set so my lucky day. I must say they are better than I expected, I will wait for I Aint Been Nuked Mum myself but will play TYif someone runs a game.

Planning on playing in 6mm to start, may do some 15mm armies too if I plan for "out of house" games in the general public…

I just need to pick up a few items…

Damon.

Nope. Can't get into moderns.

Eric

I played the demo and have purchased a couple box sets, but nothing assembled yet.

No

No

nope, though I may get some BOAR stuff and do "the Chieftains" I might need something with a bit of pizaz for the end of the encounter at the railway line. ;(

No. I don't play Vietnam or later. WW III? My wife-to-be was living in Amsterdam at the time. No nukes, please.

I was in diapers when Korea happened so might consider that.

My father-in-law commanded a heavy weapons platoon on a hill within sight of Pork Chop Hill.

I'd consider more modern stuff if no one I know could have gone, like India-Pakistan or Iran-Iraq.

Inconsistent? You bet. It's how I roll.

Not yet, but would like to give them a try.

No.

No. Too many arguments about weapons effectiveness.

No , but I am getting some of the toys and waiting on the release of I Ain't Been Nuked Mum.

No.

Play Cold War, but not with TY.

All this team tankee nonsense has gotten me interested in modern-yes. But in 1/285th and with the rule4s TAC2, a updated, improved version of the GDW modern TACFORCE.

But i do enjoy the LOL experience the team tankee is…

No, and have zero interest.

Tom

Soon.

No. I sold off my micro armor and can't afford/won't buy the 15mm stuff.
Tempting though.

It's not even on my radar.

Not yet but buying up everything Battlefront's still releasing for the game as we speak. Just added two Carnation howitzer batteries to my Soviet army today. Will start playing once I have a decent force painted, since I follow my golden rule of never ever playing with unpainted or only primered minis.

TY is my first foray outside of 28mm btw. I might have to change my TMP name.

Tried it a few times, liked it, but like WWII better. TY rules may be an improvement. Will be very interested to see FOW 4 way down the line. But don't really like playing two similar-but-not-the-same systems concurrently.

It may sound incredibly petty of me (but then again,the aesthetics of miniature gaming is a big part of the attraction)… but I can't really get past the cover of the rulebook. For me, the Cold War should have more bleaker, stylish and minimalist imagery. The cover just looks completely wrong to me.

I feel the same with many of BF's cover designs though. I liked the 3rd edition 3 volume set though.

Do you really judge a book by its cover?

No. I have the book and if I decide to play I'll go the microarmor route.

'Do you really judge a book by its cover?'

Well it's not that simple – it just doesn't strike me as having the correct atmosphere – it doesn't entice me on a purely visual level. As a European, I can't really *get* the design.

I'm aware this may sound weird though… but….

Got the rules as a Christmas gift. Haven't played yet because I'm still painting 6mm Soviets.

I would, but haven't yet.

Bought the rules, have buckets of painted Soviets, lots of unpainted NATO, haven't played yet but intend to do so soon.

No – don't play anything by battlefront!

No, not adding another period, unless it is strictly aerial.

Painting my stuff. Lots to paint…… slow painter with some family issues to deal with ATM……Pictors Studios is getting my infantry to do……

I just finished assemblibg 50 points of Soviets. On to painting!

Haven't played yet but assembling my forces. Whatever I end up thinking about the game after I play it, they get my total gratitude (and my money) for popularising the period.

I play Cold War, but not with TY.

Use Cold War Commander for micro armour and Sabres Squadron for 28mm, never played FOW so not likely to play TY.

No. It's not a time period I'm interested in.
