Battlefront Kit Review BRDM-2 Recon Platoon (Plastic) (TSBX24)

By Tom Burgess

Though I already have plenty of BRDM-2s, SA-9 Gaskins, and Spandrel AT launchers I could not pass up the great deal that the new World War III: Team Yankee (WW3:TY) Soviet army box was.  This gave me five BRDM-2 sprues that I was not sure I needed. I considered selling them or giving them away but decided I’d go ahead and build them to help get me to my goal of completing 365 Flames of War and WW3:TY teams in 2020. I also thought I could do a decent review article since I could compare these new plastic models to the older resin-metal models.

Bolt Action Basing Tutorial

By Kreighton Long

A little while back a follower of mine on Instagram asked me how I base my miniatures so I put together a little tutorial to share with anyone curious.

There are two parts to a painted miniature when it’s on the gaming table. There’s the miniature itself, then there’s the base.

Depending on the scale and how the miniature is represented in the game both parts are essential to a jaw-dropping gorgeous army. Most of us may be able to recall instances of walking around convention halls, tournament tables, or gaming clubs and seeing that almost gorgeous army. I say almost because every so often one of the two aforementioned parts is a bit below the standard set by the other part.

Review: Hounds of War, a Sandbox Skirmish Ruleset

By Mitch Reed

One thing I have learned from playing and covering this hobby is that gamers always have an opinion and are never shy to share it. For the titles I have worked on I dread the comments on social media on things that were omitted or the fact we did not write the game just for them.

While I have never seen Paul Neher make any disparaging comments, he has done what I recommend all gamers to do; create your own game. Paul’s Hounds of War ruleset did something that can make all gamers happy, a set of rules that allows the gamer to create whatever type of skirmish fight they want and include whichever capabilities they desire.

Team Yankee US Decals and Stowage

by Dennis ‘Matt Varnish’ Campbell

Hey everyone, hope you guys are doing well. This is my final hobby article on my Team Yankee USA because these are the finishing touches. Stowage and decals on my M1s, aerials, and then I delve into the magical world of Objectives.

First of all, I way over-ordered on the stowage. The reason for this was I need more M1 spare roadwheels, and the image on the website led me to believe each pack came with one of the sprues on the left, and three of the ones on the right (see below image).  They actually include three of each, which makes the price a bit easier to swallow
