Team Yankee: American HMMWV Platoon
The HMMWV, better known as the Humvee, is one of the most recognizable vehicles of the modern U.S. military. Designed to replace the aging Jeep, the HMMWV provided a highly mobile and versatile platform that could be adapted for reconnaissance, transport, and fire support roles. In World War III: Team Yankee, the HMMWV Platoon brings speed, flexibility, and specialized weapon systems to American commanders, making it an invaluable support element on the tabletop.
Gameplay Experience:
HMMWVs excel at rapid redeployment and battlefield coverage. Armed with a variety of weapons—including TOW anti-tank missile launchers, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns—they can engage armour, suppress infantry, and harass vulnerable targets. Their speed allows them to seize objectives quickly or reinforce threatened areas, making them ideal for commanders who value manoeuvre warfare. While lightly armoured, their firepower and versatility make them a cost-effective and dangerous unit when used wisely.
