The Centurion Mk I, if memory serves, appeared in 1945 and was armed with a 17pdr and co-ax 20mm. It never saw action and served mainly as a prototype. It's turret was redesigned to take the 20pdr, which became the Mk 3. I'd have to double check but the Mk 3 might have been used in Korea, the Australians certainly used Mk 3's and possibly 5's in Vietnam. The Centurion kit is already out for Team Yankee and it includes the parts for the Mk 1. So far in Team Yankee the Danes get a 20pdr and 105mm gunned Centurion and the Swedes get a heavily modified one called the S.104
Your quiet right about the Centurion MK1. A number was sent over to Europe, and the unit that received them was going through familiarising exercises when the war ended. There were more Centurions in Europe, while unlike the 1 Super Pershing, they never fired a shot in anger while it did.
I will not be buying the game to play. I love painting up models like these as something on the side. Especially if their is a chance of putting them on the gaming table later. Like the Maus, we played 8 games with up to 4 of them. #MLH
@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies That's a problem I suffer from. I find just about all tanks fascinating, especially their development. I start off with an Osprey Press books great for this. They cover a lot of armoured vehicles with lots of photos and water colours. They are soft cover or Kindle e-copy and tend to be around 96 pages. I find they give me inspiration for painting them up. I recently painted up a platoon of Australian Army MK3 Centurions for Vietnam. I found out the MK3 did not have a coaxial MG. Instead, they had a .50 calibre bolt action tracer firing rifle. That must have been frustrating for the gunner. Between the photos and water colours, I usually find where the aerials go. The more modern a tank is, the more aerials there are, especially command vehicles. But I would not know any of this, but for a friend talking me into painting them for him. This is why I love this hobby so much as it has a number of layers and you decide on the depth.
I have thinking about this. Im a former player of the WOT video game and RNG was the one i hated about the game. I said back then you can play this game by just rolling dices. Now i saw this table top game im LOLing 😂
I have a question since it isnt very cleare to me. There is a game I can buy right now called "World of Tanks Miniatures Game" and it comes with a Panzer 4, a Sherman, T-34, and Cromwell. It seems to be very similar to this thing here. Are they both the same game? Is this an expansion to it? I apologize I just cant understand which one is which.
This is the older starter set. It is the same game 100%. As far as i know there is no difference except for the models. You could buy either and be fully prepared to play the game. in fact the panzer 4, Sherman, t-34 and Cromwell det might be better as these are more versatile vehicles than those in the 2023 box.
Dose this only include cards for the tanks included? Got a bunch of tanks for flames of war/TANKS, so no legit reason to buy the expansions unless thats the only way to get stat cards. Thank you 😊
I’m a diehard original TANKS player… I actually started in Tanks the Modern Age … then I picked up Hammerfall the Team Yankee intro similar to FURY … and then Battlefront released a little thing called Hit The Beach… and it’s been a love affair ever since … I’ve been slowly getting my hands on all the releases for the original TANKS and Tanks the modern age because I really like the game with its simplicity… I haven’t done anything with the new World of Tanks game… but this starter set is really cool… considering it has models that we haven’t seen before… Maybe I’ll have to see if they have some kind of card pack to get players up to date… tank cards for all the previous releases… because I sure don’t want to have to buy everything again just for the cards
I was a little upset as my is-3 had too much paint and made it look bad, other than that this is awesome and really looking forward to the future tanks as well. It's unreal to own the Maus in my collection.
I think that probably sets with medium tanks would be more versatile. I am just getting into this system..but I have had experience with the Tanks game that is is built on.
The problem i have with this game is that you don't blind program your moves, so tanks with higher initiative seem to always have a clear advantage and basically a guaranteed win in a 1v1 game. I'm not sure why they did it this way when so many miniature games that came before it, did it better. The line of sight rules aren't particularly good either and this game generally lead to more debates over line of sight than other games.
I play this as a beer and pretzels type game when looking for a quick miniature gaming fix. In particular it works well for young players. To me it is a stepping stone to Flames of war or Team yankee which have a much more refined and comprehensive set of rules. These might be more your type of game if you have not tried them.
Hi, I’m wondering if you or anyone reading here can help me find game mode of the Cold War era Canadian Recce vehicle, the Lynx. A member of the 113 family. Not many nations used them. I’m challenged to find models of them. A bit sad as I was a Lynx Troop Leader in the 70s & I would like to show my grandkids on of several vehicles their Grampy soldiered in long before they were even thought of.
Hi Kevin…Battlefront Miniatures makes them in 1:100 scale for Team Yankee. I also know of a couple 3D print files as an option. Where are you located? Can likely help you out.
@@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies Thanks for the response. I’m in Ottawa Canada. I’m not familiar with the 3D printing process / access but interested. I’m also interested in sites that show the models & ways to purchase.
@@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies Further, found Battlefront Miniatures website & the Lynx. I’m considering buying some pairs. I would like to understand a bit more about 3D printing options for the Lynx when you get a moment. Thanks again.
I love this game, i wish they would come out with a modern tank version of the game
I imagine they will soon enough. GF9/battlefront has 1:100 tanks currently available all the way to Desert Storm era.
#MLH great videos! For 15mm miniatures, I use a very small eye makeup brush for dry brushing.
Great tip!

Thanks for the info and interest in the channel. I definitely need to learn more about the Centurion.

@@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies I thank you for this!
So in case I like this game I can later buy the 2023 set too and combine them into one bigger game?
@@CharcharoExplorer you got it!
Dose this only include cards for the tanks included? Got a bunch of tanks for flames of war/TANKS, so no legit reason to buy the expansions unless thats the only way to get stat cards. Thank you 😊
Yes it has cards for the tanks in the box. Although they are not officially compatible with the other BF/GF9 games.

Sorry to hear that about the IS-3. It really is a cool set.
How much room do I need to play this? 6x4ft table ?
Yes 4x6 I believe. That is the size I lay on.
Maus is practically a piece of terrain...
You can say that again. My wife thought i was working in a new scale when she saw that,.
Got mine at a hobby store with everything your showing
I found out later that the box comes with all of the different languages. I guess it helps not having to produce several versions of the same set.
@@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies I do wish they included the battle mats though. Not easy for first time players

I wonder what the best expansion tanks are for each faction?
Is it easier to add heavy tanks
Man I gotta try this speed paint. #mlh

Maus is pronounced "mouse"
