Choosing Your First Team Yankee Army

Your first army should reflect the playstyle you enjoy most.

Starting a Team Yankee Collection

A great first collection usually begins with an army starter set, followed by support units that strengthen your formation.

Recommended first purchases include:

1. Army starter set
2. Army book
3. Headquarters unit
4. Additional tank or infantry platoon
5. Reconnaissance unit
6. Artillery support
7. Anti-aircraft vehicles
8. Aircraft or helicopters (optional)

Building your force gradually allows you to learn the rules while expanding into larger battles over time.

Painting Team Yankee Miniatures

Team Yankee models are ideal for weathering techniques. Camouflage patterns, washes, drybrushing, pigments, and decals all help create realistic modern military vehicles.

Many players paint:

• NATO tri-colour camouflage
• Soviet green vehicles
• Desert camouflage
• Winter camouflage
• Urban weathering
• Battle damage and dust effects

Because the models are 15mm scale, painting an entire platoon is often quicker than painting larger-scale miniatures.
