Russians and Czechoslovaks can take the Bastion missile on their T-55s too, only the Poles miss out because they went with a slightly different indigenous FCS.
Regarding your ponder on how ”snorkling” soviet tanks navigated; ”specific compass navigation” Context; Finnish army bought T-54, later T-55, and last time in 80s the T-72 tanks, and got soviet initial training manulas regarding snorkling with T-55s. Snorkling was tested in Finland once, and immediately desided to ”never do this.” 😂
Tiny detail, the T-80 (IRL its a T-80U) is actually the kontact-5 equipped tank in team yankee. The T-72B has kontact-1, the first stuff. (For the Soviets, because Israel made the first ERA to go into mass production.)
@@ModellingforAdvantage they do indeed, with the 1989 variant. But the T-72B as shown in team yankee is the kontact-1 T-72B 1985 Edit: however most never received kontact-5 due to costs, though they made lots brand new mod 1989s, which went on to receive more upgrades like T-72B3
T72b very well in polish forces becouse of 3+ remount. It is PT91 Twardy in Real live i suppose. Thanks for TY now i wait on Yours opinion about SPQR...
These are 15mm, or 1:100. There are a LOT of kits for Team Yankee, and Flames of War. Check out our playlist for the other sets if you are interested in seeing more of them:

Another cracking video chaps
Thanks mate.
Always enjoy these episodes. Even though I don’t play Team Yankee, always nice to learn something. Wooly Mike looking fresh with an MFA t-shirt!
Yeah - he has been hanging out at Tankfest - getting us some free advertising.
These videos are for some bizarre reason the ideal thing for me to fall asleep to. Love the content !
Well thank you, I thought my voice was rather grating, but it obviously works for some.
good vid and lovely painting
Why thank you.

Sounds about right.

Oh, I thought the T-72s got Kontact-5 later on, these models being the Bs are later variants.

@@spamuraigranatabru1149 thanks for the info.
Zvezda does the T-72B(Obr. 89), though who knows what retailer supply is like with the current political situation.
@@ausaskar I had intended just before the war to buy some of their modern vehicles after being happy with the WW2 stuff... Then it happened.
take a look at the mig27k that was a crazy ground attack plane of the cold war. targeting and firepower for days in the time period.
Soviet/Pact armies might work at 6mm, but look silly at 15mm with the tank carpark issue.
That is certainly true for the T55 type forces. I if you go for T80s though you are much smaller.

We reviewed SPQR a long while back, but have played it quite a bit since then. The game has issues, for sure, but we are enjoying it a lot.
Interesting! What scale are we talking about? It looks like H:0. What other kits are there?
