Gunship Tank Killer Crack

Beasts of War Homepage. Here we are, at last, Beasts of War, at the conclusion of our explorations into the real life background and context of Team Yankee. Through the course of these articles, myself and Ben Collins benc have tried to offer a small glimpse into how things were in the mid 8. NATO Warsaw Pact World War III mightve unfolded. So far, we looked at the source material for Team Yankee in Part One, compared the strengths and makeup of the armies in Part Two, and looked at how such a war may have unfolded in Part Three, and reviewed other books, movies, and wargames in Part Four. Now lets wrap things up with a look at some ideas for battles and campaigns in Team Yankeesome of them maybe a little out of the norm, applying some of what weve reviewed about a potential 1. Antony And The Johnsons Swanlights. World War III to the Team Yankee table. Gunship Tank Killer CrackerPlease note If you come across a back link, or any dead links or pics, please let me know. Team Yankee Missions. Of course, the Team Yankee rulebook already comes with a portfolio of great missions. By weaving these choices into a larger narrative context, you can assemble a vibrant campaign beyond tracking wins and losses. Just having a campaign map is a big step forward, as it gives these wins and losses a geographic relationship to each other. For example, imagine the initial Soviet smash across the border. The No Retreat mission can be used here, giving the NATO player a chance to set up with the Ambush special rule. Dawn and Deep Immediate Reserves reflect the Soviets probable time of the attack, and also the fact that both sides have seen this battle coming for a while. Now the Soviets are pushing deep into West German territory. Theyve probably taken horrific losses, but have committed their second operational echelon probably by 1. Day One and follow on battles are igniting across a spreading swath of the NATO corps covering force area. Counterattack missions can be used to model local NATO strikes against the flanks of advancing Soviet columns. The Soviets might respond with Hasty Attack, hoping to exploit a breach where NATO forces have been broken especially badly perhaps by a massed chemical strike. Encounter, Dust Up, and Free For All can be used to model where NATO counterattacks are directly meeting Soviet breakthrough attempts. Both sides are having trouble bringing up forces, NATO commanders dealing with massed West German refugees and Soviet commanders trying to push reserve forces across the devastated terrain. New Invasions. Probably 9. World War III fiction and wargames have the conflict playing out with US, British, and West German forces fighting against the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany GFSG. That pits GSFG against two main formations NORTHAG Northern Army Group in north Germany, and CENTAG Central Army Group in south Germany. But no one says the Soviets are limited to just kicking down the front door. An all out NATO Warsaw Pact showdown can see the two sides fighting all over Europe. One possibility is being explored by my friend and Team Yankee Boot Camp veteran Dave Wheeler davebpg with a Soviet invasion of Denmark.

If youve ever wondered how a photographer managed to capture the exact moment of an incredible end zone reception or the instant a bird takes flight, the answer. This article contains a large, but not exhaustive, list of the various types of weaponry used by. These are some spacecraft designs that are based on reality. So they appear quite outlandish and undramatic looking. In the next page will appear designs that are. Such a campaign involves the NATO forces of LANDJUT a corps of one Danish and two West German divisions, charged with defending the main body of Denmark and the German state of Schleswig Holstein. This area may have come under extreme pressure if the Soviets were intent on opening a breakout channel for their Baltic Fleet. If the Soviets hit this area harder than anticipated by NATO planners, a collapse of initial LANDJUT forces may have prompted NATO reserves American divisions to be sent in to stabilise the situation and keep the Soviet Baltic Fleet bottled up.

Other battles may have unfolded even further north. As the Soviet White Sea Fleet which included most of their nuclear missile submarines emerged from the Barents Sea past the north cape of Norway, might Soviet amphibious Naval Infantry brigades total strength numbered almost 2. Norways north coast Such bases may have been useful in staging land based aircraft to provide the Soviet fleet with cover, especially against British land based aircraft based out of Scotland, NATO aircraft based out of Norway, or of course American supercarriers and the dreaded F 1. C Tomcat of 1. 98. Even this isnt everything. Gunship Tank Killer Crack' title='Gunship Tank Killer Crack' />Weve looked at NATOs Northern and Central Army Groups, there is also a Southern command which may have been put under dire pressure from Warsaw Pact armies based in Rumania, Bulgaria, the Soviet Caucasus, supported by the Black Sea Fleet. Turkey and Greece would have been the main NATO states on the defence here, supported of course by American airpower out of Italy. Great Britain has always had a vested interest in protecting Mediterranean shipping lanes and would have been heavily involved particularly in any prospective battles in Greece. New Theatres. Everything weve described so far only covers Europe. Team Yankee battles and campaigns can also be drawn up in a variety of other locations, often with material and terrain most players already have on hand. One possibility as briefly discussed in Part 0. Middle East. In fact, this may have been where the war actually starts, only exploding in Western Europe after diplomacy disastrously fails. This Soviets always kept a wary eye on their southern border, and the West, of course, had a critical dependence on Persian Gulf oil. Just set up desert terrain for your Team Yankee armies, perhaps World War II North Africa terrain updated with some oil refineries. This is also a great place to stage your games if youre really interested in a NATO Strikes First campaign, as we, of course, saw US and British forces on the offensive in the 1. Gulf War. Now if you want to get really crazy, one game Ive always wanted to run was a potential Soviet invasion not of the contiguous United States, but perhaps Alaska At one point in this region, the US and USSR are only three miles apart, and the Soviets may want to distract the US from a war in Europe by threatening the Alaskan oil pipelines. This is a remote possibility to be sure, but its about as close to a Red Dawn case as youll plausibly see. It also gets Team Yankee forces onto an icy, snow bound table if nothing else. Also, these northern polar regions are where most of the US and Soviet naval and nuclear operations were expected to be, so why not a land operation as well New Units I was honestly very excited when I saw Battlefronts Red Thunder release for the Soviets. The inclusion of the T 6. Cold War, and the fact that its actually better than the T 7. Battlefront knows what its doing in presenting a factual 1. Soviet Army. Of course, there are further possibilities. The biggest among these is the Soviet T 8. Through the 1. 98. T 6. 4 in GSFG divisions where the T 7. Soviet commands were the T 7. NSGF in Poland, CSGF in Czechoslovakia. Until Battlefront comes out with a T 8. Ive been using T 7. K5 reactive armour as proxies. The problem is the card and game values. This shouldnt be too hard, however. The T 8. 0 was incredibly fast, had better armour, and a similar gun although that gun could fire a more advanced anti tank missile than the T 6. Another possibility is the American AH 6. Apache attack helicopter. Now I know this model didnt come along until later in the 1. I happened to find a 11. Team Yankee tabletop miniature. As fearsome as the Cobra is, the Apache would be downright ferocious.
