Look inside the Chieftain Armoured Platoon plastic box set for Team Yankee with Fog of War. We look at what's in the box, build a standard Chieftain and look at the development of this Cold War workhorse tank. This review also has a look at the Team Yankee stats for the Chieftain and we talk about some of the strengths and weaknesses of this slightly older MBT design in the game.

Just brought 4 boxes for my Iranians. It's a nifty kit.

@FogofWar 5 лет назад

I really enjoy building these. Good luck with your Iranians.

@harrydavies8340 7 лет назад

I have ten of these for my 100 point army and to give some verity I took out some sections of the side skirts and I made a troop of 3 Stilbrews.

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

Nice! So far I have made one. One day I will build the rest, and maybe get them some friends, and maybe play a game of Team Yankee. One day... :-) You should post up some pics of your forces!

@harrydavies8340 7 лет назад

Fog of War Can I post them on Gog of Wars Facebook page?

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

Put them in an Album on your Facebook and we'll share them on Fog of War.

nice video, cheers! It was, i believe, exported to some Middle east countries though, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman, captured ones turning up in the armies of Iraq later. So lots of options for other conflicts i think. great vid

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

Most of the exports were modified versions - the Khalid etc. - but I take your point. There are some other operators.

@keithplymale2374 6 лет назад

Chieftain was manufactured for Jordan as the Khalid and it was basically a Mk. 5 with very minor differences. Iran ordered 125 as the Shir 1 in 1974 and that part of the order was delivered before 1979 because I remember pictures and film of Iranian Chieftains during the Iran-Iraq war so some were exported.

@FogofWar 6 лет назад

Yep. Some variants were exported, and the export orders did result finally in the Challenger series.

Yes I love all tanks in the Centurion production line, I hope they make a Chieftain T95 mold like in WoT

@FogofWar 11 месяцев назад

I’m not sure they’ll do a Chieftain T95. But I’ve been wrong before!

@charleschristy364 4 года назад

TY2 will make Infantry forces harder pressed but I still prefer either mech or air assault. Definitely Abbott's...and consider mortar tracks to throw timely smoke. Good hunting!

@FogofWar 3 года назад

Thanks!

I bought this box because I wanted to build the Chieftain. But I didn't want to start an entire new force. So I decided to paint them as MBT "Khalid" of the Royal Jordan Army using the camo scheme that one can see on the "Khalid" displayed at the Royal Jordan Tank Museum. In the game we will use the stats of the iranian Chieftains and depending on which political scenario we agree to play they will be used as israeli or syrian support.

@FogofWar 2 года назад

The Chieftain is one of my favourite BF kits to build. It goes together great.

@BritishLegion666 7 лет назад

Great Review . Now you have me looking at Team Yankee. LOL

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

I haven't played Team Yankee yet but it looks like fun. I love the miniatures. The problem is I buy one of each box, so not enough for a playable force. I'll probably make a British force in the end.

Chieftan *was* exported (sorry to be 'that guy') - Iran bought them and they were used in the Iran-Iraq War.

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

+Stephen Beat Hi Stephen, Rubbsalot also pointed out I got this wrong. I thought the export operators all used variants like Khalid. But it's great if people pick me up if I get stuff wrong. I try to put up the best info I have, but I miss stuff and sometimes just get stuff wrong. We all love this stuff, so I'm always happy to get smarter. You are not 'that guy'. You are helping this content be better. I appreciate the help!

@milgeekmedia 7 лет назад

Actually, I must apologise, I did not mean to leave what was supposed to be constructive correction *without* also thanking you for a very useful and interesting video.

@FogofWar 7 лет назад

+Stephen Beat No problem. I'm always thankful when people watch my videos and particularly when they take the time to comment.
