Is there a way to buy a single tank (T-72) for Team Yankee? Or do I have to buy them in boxes of five? |

Buy them from QRF or Scale Creep I've been dealing with them for months because I'm doing West Germans. The armor is awesome and its old school metal. QRF has great armor and if you are in the States you can get them from Scale creep they have lots of countries. |

Depends. If you already have BF T-72s and just want one more then you probably want one the same to match. But if you just want a single tank, there are a few companies offering T-72 out there: link But we do offer 5 different versions of T-72, as well the the T-64 and T-80

Khurasan also offers a nice T-72A in resin and metal not covered in the reviews above:

Old Glory also has T-72 (and 55,62 and 80) in 15mm (Command Decision line). |

Keep in mind the OGCD version is a T-72 "Ural" so a bit different than the ones BF sells. Damon. |

The Ural was the original vanilla T-72 tank. |

The Khurasan model is a very close a match to the BF model, just with more and better details, in terms of size (height, length, width). |

Where does the Command Decision line have a modern T80? I looked and could not find one. |
| Fred Cartwright | 30 Mar 2016 3:43 p.m. PST |
No OG T-80. Quality Castings did one. Who has that line now? |

Buy another box, and keep one to four of them, and sell off the other(s). Some tank companies have 13 tanks in them, instead of 10. |

*ScottS,
single sprues would be great, although being BF, I doubt it will happen.
For now, I say *Mako11 has the right/Great idea. If you really want another, get the set and then EBAY the rest. Im sure you will get back a good percentage of your money to say the least. Or.. look on Ebay to start with. Its a good chance some fast thinking sellers out there have bought a 'few' US and Soviet tanks and are selling them by the sprue. |

Might want to keep a spare or two as well, just in case anything gets broken during game play. |

During the era relevant to Team Yankee, tank companies of a Soviet motor rifle regiment's tank battalion each had 13 tanks, for a total of 40 (39+1command). Tank companies of a tank regiment's tank battalion each had 10 tanks, for a total of 31 (30+1command). That amounted to 94 tanks per regiment (93+1command). In the GSFG these should be either T-64s of various models, including some T-64BVs, or, more rarely, T80Bs and T80BVs. I believe there are data in regards to which type of tank entered GSFG inventory, when it did so, and how many were in each unit year by year in the 1980s. No T-72s in Germany, except in East German, Polish and Czechoslovak units (organized as Soviet ones), and very few of them at that. However, follow-up Soviet units based in the Kiev and Belorussian military districts would have had a ton of T-72s of various models. |

Yes, but the book had T-72s, even though we know now that the book was wrong, and the game is based on the book. But we have been selling a lot of T-64s |

If you want just one and it to be size compatible with BF then get the Zvezda one, although its a T72A rather than the B – nice light plastic too!
(The book isn't wrong by the way, its just that its set in the US zone CENTAG area, where there would have been plenty of T-72s, (as opposed to NORTHAG where there were only T-64s and T-80s) so much so that it got a nickname from the US tankers – the Dolly Parton, owing to its thickened frontal turret armour…) |
