Team Yankee

“A tank and its crew has but one reason to exist. To maneuver the tank’s cannon to a position where it could do the most damage and feed it once it was there.” 

― Harold Coyle, Team Yankee: A Novel of World War III


When I was in my teen years and early twenties we had this Cold War going on.  On the last Friday of every month, at 10:30 am we were reminded of  that threat when the air raid sirens would sound for a minute, followed by the all clear (for testing purposes).   I remember thinking if the Soviets were smart they would attack on precisely the last Friday of every month at 10:30 am.


On November 9th, 1989 the Berlin Wall came down and the Cold War threat began to wane.


In Winter of 2015 Battlefront's ads for their Team-Yankee release caught my eye.  I looked at a friend of mine and asked, "Would you like to play this?"


"Hell yes!" was his response.


Seven months later this is the result.
