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:

Army starter set
Army book
Headquarters unit
Additional tank or infantry platoon
Reconnaissance unit
Artillery support
Anti-aircraft vehicles
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.
