Imagine that I was one of the people that joined your FB group to play. But they are so much handier that page flipping.

Unit cards - at first you might look at these & maybe pass. These are EXCELLENT for marking destroyed vehicles. Marking destroyed vehicles - Reaper makes a 3 pack of Burning Spheres in their Bones line. Particularly those that can also target ground units. They've said this won't affect any of the existing army books.Īnti-Air units - invest in some. BF wants it all to be ONE unified system, thus the new TY being brought into line with everything else. But between TY & V.4 WWII a few rules were changed. And then V.2 of 'Nam, V.2 Arab/Isreli (now called Fate of a Nation), & V.2 of Great War.

This is because TY was the test bed for what became 4th edition WWII. The upcoming rule book change is only tweaking some rules. But it also works quite well with 2 - 3 players per side (adjusting pts/person as needed) Their stuff can also be harder to get.īattlefront - More expensive, detail lies between Zveda & PSC, the core kits are now all plastic but many others will often be resin/metal. What you save $ wise will be eaten up by assembly time. Plastic Soldier Company - Cheaper than Battlefront, excellent detail, often a lot more parts & tiny spindly bits. Zveda - cheap, easy to assemble, details are meh to adequate - you get what you pay for. So if you don't like their sculpt or price on something? There's always an alternative. Battlefront holds no monopoly on history. ESPECIALLY if you're looking at running A-10s. They're more durable & considerably cheaper. The planes though are modeled in 1:144 scale.įortunately there's no end of 1:100 kits and even toys for most of the planes out there. And they're fairly expensive (for what they are). Being made of resin (with metal bitz) they're fragile & prone to chipping/breakage. The plane models are the one real downside in this game.

The WWII version works better as a combined arms approach. Though infantry is useful, Team Yankee plays very well as a pure tank/vehicle game. Overall FoW (be it WWI, WWII, or TY) is a decent game.
