Hi all. Does anyone know if I can use the same basing arrangements as Team Yankee as Sabre Squadron? Cheers |

Infantry units in Sabre Squadron are organised in teams and weapon groups so, for example, a British mechanised platoon would be: 1 FV432 carrying:
1 Rifle Group G with M72 & Image Intensifier
1 Weapon Group with Light Mortar & Image Intensifier 1 FV432 carrying:
1 RG with SAW, M72 and II
1 RG with Carl Gustav M2 and II 2 FV432 (Peak Turret) carrying:
1 RG with SAW, M72 and II
1 RG with Carl Gustav M2 and II I can't give any insight on the TY basing other than noting that some of the TY infantry packs that I have bought are not organised as I would expect. Regardless of the rules you use, I would recommend the Sabre Squadron data books – Article 5 and 7 Days to the Rhine. |

Thanks for the reply. I have a look. I just want to be able to play both games with with one set of miniatures. |

Hi The Young Guard, There's no specified basing so you can use models based for other rules without any difficulties, as I have done already. |

Team Yankee seems to put the Soviet support weapons all onto a single large base, instead of each weapon and crew on an individual base. |
