WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: West German - Part 2: Support Units

Hi all it's Neil here with some more WW3 Team Yankee as there's been some NATO reinforcements with the release of the new West German book.  This is part 2 of my look at the new West German book where I'll be looking at the units that support your main combat units such as artillery, anti-air, tank destroyers and aircraft.  If you haven't seen part 1 going through the formations and their core units its probably worth checking it out first.  Hopefully this will be helpful to get to know the West German's support whether you're looking to use it or are going to be facing it down.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: West German - Part 1: Formations

 Hi all it's Neil here with some more WW3 Team Yankee as there's been some NATO reinforcements with the release of the new West German book.  As in my previous factions focuses I'll start my looking at the formations in this post then part 2 will look at the units you can bring to support them.  I'm still a new player so I wouldn't be going into much in the way of competitiveness or list building in these but I am planning on doing some in the future after I get to play a bit more.  My hope is that these faction focuses will help new players like myself in picking a faction in the game to play as well as getting a bit of an overview of what you might be facing from the others too.  So lets get to it now and have a look at the West German formations.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: Soviet - Part 2: Support Units

Hi all it's Neil here back after a bit of break for more WW3: Team Yankee with a look at the new Soviet book.  This post is part 2 of the look at the new Soviet book where I'll look at the supporting units such as artillery, AA, recon and aircraft.  If you're wanting to check out the formations and their main combat units there all in part 1.  If you're new to Team Yankee I've done a quick look at the rules and background here if you want to check it out.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: Soviet - Part 1: Formations

Hi all it's Neil here back after a bit of break for more WW3: Team Yankee with a look at the new Soviet book.  This post will be part 1 where I will take a look at the formations and their main combat units, while in part 2 I will look at the support units such as AA, artillery and aircraft.  I'm still a fairly new player so I wouldn't be looking at competitiveness for tournament play rather my impressions of the book and units as a newer player.  I hope this might be useful for those who are also new-ish to the game and maybe a nice read if you're a veteran to see a new players point of view.  If you are a new player I have looked at the rules in general over here.  In this post I will look at the formations and their core units while Part 2 will be to look at the supporting units such as artillery, AA vehicles, recon and aircraft.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: US - Part 2: Support Units

Hi all it's Neil here and welcome back to my WW3 Team Yankee Series.  This is Part 2 of my look at the new US book.  In this post I'm going to look at the support units available to US players, this is both Divisional Support Choices as well as supporting options in formations (i.e non compulsory/"black box" units basically).  If you're wanting to see the formations the check out Part 1 here.

These Support units can be divided up into these categories; anti-tank missile launchers, artillery, AA and aircraft .  There is a single unit which I wouldn't talk about here which is only available as a support unit, the M551 Sheridan tank.  This is because as it was the only tank that's not a black box unit I decided to take a look in Part 1 with the other tanks.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: US - Part 1: Formations

Hi all it's Neil here and welcome back to my WW3: Team Yankee series.  This is going to be Part 1 of my look at the new US book.  In this post I will look at the various formations available to US players.  This isn't going to be a deep look into competitiveness of the various options rather it will be a newer player's look at the options.  If you are also a newer player to WW3 Team Yankee I would suggest to read this Introduction post first.  This is going to be quite a long post due how much is in the new book so I hope you feel like sticking with it and get to the end.

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: British - Part 2: Support Units

Hi all, its Neil here and welcome back to my WW3 Team Yankee series.  Today I'm going to continue my look at the British forces in Team Yankee by looking at the Support units.  If you want to take a look at the formations that the British get, check out Part 1.

By Support, I mean both the units in the force diagram labelled as Divisional Support Options and units in the the formations that weren't the main focus.  These can be divided in 4 categories; anti-tank guided missile launchers, artillery, anti aircraft and aircraft.

 

WW3: Team Yankee - Faction Focus: British - Part 1: Formations

Hi all, its Neil here and welcome back to my WW3 Team Yankee series.  Today I thought I'd give my view on the British in the game from their book.  I'm starting with the British as they're the force I've chosen for Team Yankee.  The British have just got an updated book for v2 which added new equipment like the Challenger 1 and Warrior.

This isn't going to be a super detailed look at building competitive lists rather I'm going to share my thoughts as a newer player on the book.  I will come back for another look once I've gotten experience playing the game to see how my view changes.  If you are unfamiliar with the game I'd suggest reading my introduction post first (don't worry I'll wait 😉 ).  This will be the first post of two, looking at the formations first then at the support choices in the second part.
