Battlefront UK Open Day June 30th 2018 Cleve Lodge, Long Eaton, Derbyshire NG10, UK. When we announced the UK Open Day the end of June seemed so far away but now it is just around the corner. Have you booked your leave passes and organised your gaming group yet because we would love to see you and your friends at the event. Last week we were able to show off the exclusive Doctor Who models that attendees will be getting as part of the swag bag, this week we have updated images of them painted! James has done a magnificent job on both the 15mm Doctor on a Chieftain tank model, as we as the 32mm board game sized version.

Next week we also expect to have some more information about the global painting competition that we are going to be running in conjunction with the event. Stay tuned for more information. If you haven’t already, check out the event page to find out about all the activities that will be happening on the day, as well as a chance to quiz Peter and John-Paul about what’s going on with Battlefront over the coming year.

Free Nations - Book Spotlight The world of Team Yankee continues to expand, and our newest book adds four more nations to the roster of forces with which to play. Free Nations started as an idea to add some of the forces of the smaller NATO nations, but grew into something much bigger with four western nations covered (well, technically five if you choose to run your ANZACs as New Zealanders). Wayne looks at Free Nations and all the different nations in the book. Free Nations in Team Yankee... Free Nations Pre-order...

Know Your T-55 Earlier this year we released the much-anticipated plastic T-54/T-55 tank, one of the most widely used tanks in the world. In Team Yankee you can currently field the T-55AM2 variant with your East German forces in Volksarmee, or the T-54 with your NVA (North Vietnamese Army) in ‘Nam, and very shortly the Syrians and Egyptians in Fate Of A Nation. Today we take a look at the history of the T-55 and how to get the most out of these venerable tanks. Know Your T-55...

Blitz And Peaces: Team Yankee USSR Vs US Battle Report

Soviet TANKS Previews It is time for the Soviet juggernaut to once again be unleashed on the TANKS world. Like the British, the Soviets benefited from the Lend Lease program and received Stuart and Lee tanks from the US, as well as Valentine and Churchill tanks from the UK. Of course they had plenty of their own designs including the fearsome KV, the bane of many a Panzer commander as well as an earlier version of the T-34 that was being manufactured in Stalingrad whilst the fighting drew ever closer. Check out these sneak peeks before they release in August and September. KV Tank Expansion... T-34 (Early) Tank Expansion... Lend Lease Valentine Expansion... Lend Lease Churchill Tank Expansion...
