Jon Brings the Swedish with some Finish support up against Sean's Soviet VDV. Come check out some cool models on the tabletop in this Team Yankee Battle Report
I had COVID last week and haven't shaved since. Thought about growing some facial hair for once but it's itchy and really annoying coming in. Then I saw Sean's mustache and I feel a lot more invigorated to give facial hair a shot. Nice batrep as always!
Great batrep like always. Keep them coming! Swedes don’t have as much love in video batreps. Would love to see a batrep with your S-Tanks. While they aren’t as good as their infantry, it’s the reason every Swede player started them.
Ah, always love TY content. Interesting game and I just love that you both talk out your ideas and what you're trying to do, I find it educational. I do think Gaskins don't have machine guns, though, so I was hoping for misses whenever they shot. I dunno if VDV bolts an improvised MG on them or something, but at least normal Soviet ones only come with missiles. But, yep, it's easy to forget stuff. Just the other day we totally ignored the +1 on armor roll on long distance and my T-64 nailed an Abrams from max range. But, oh well, war is hell.
I’m very rusty on TY rules, they got parked along with the models waiting on the infantry release. I thought artillery couldn’t fire first turn (Inc laying down smoke). Maybe I’m mistaken and it’s a FOW only rule, or is it specific to this mission. Also, I didn’t realise the ranged in account resets if you move to a different unit (e.g. 3rd attempt for the observer but only 2nd for the Carnations at 18:12? Again it might be TY or maybe I’ve been playing the FOW rule wrong too 😂 Great to hear TY battle reports are coming to the Patreon, I’ll renew my sub to it today. Always like seeing Sean on the channel, nicely painted, varied armies and he’s a good player too.
IIRC the Carl Gustov is 84mm. That's why we call the American one-shot version the AT-4 (that's how it's said). I love that you're splitting time between FoW and TY, and I'd love to see some 40K content too!
Superb report, as usual! Love both armies. Jon, next time remember that the PBV 302 autocannon is anti-helicopter. It really helps the Swedes getting some extra AA given the limited options they have. 🙄
Thanks for the TY video. I followed you on RU-vid for a long time. I decided to become a Patreon when you mentioned having TY in addition to your FoW reports. I've noticed a steep decline in TY reports on RU-vid for some time.
That’s because TY is sinking as rapidly as FOW thanks to Battlefronts never ending power creep and absurd list building. I’m hesitant to sell it all off as I’m hopeful we can find a solid 15mm rule set. Both games have died off big time in the eastern US.
