So last weekend was the #WW3TeamYankee Team Nationals. The Shoot and Scoot team scored a respectable did table result, but I also came fourth overall on the individual scores and bagged best painted! Not a bad weekend really.

S&S models 15mm resin and metal M548 logistics vehicle, painted in British two tone camo. It is accompanied by a spare Battlefront metal ANZAC figure, to tie it into the larger force, plus some Sktrex crates.

2m3/3 Additional units for the ANZAC force for #ww3TeamYankee all done.

Finally is the second of two themed objectives; an M548 logistics vehicle in British colours. This ties in with the British Rapiers and Abbots that support the force.

15mm objective marker constructed from a Battlefront plastic LAV-25 with an S&S models LAV-R upgrade kit. The LAV-R is painted in Australian three tone camo and has been modified to carry the unused turret, painted like the front has been scorched by an engine fire. A pair of Battlefront metal ANZAC infantry look on.

The LAV-R is painted in Australian three tone camo and has been modified to carry the unused turret, painted like the front has been scorched by an engine fire. This picture just shows that the turret is suspended by the three 'ropes' made of fine twine and glued to the models existing lifting eyelets.

Next is one of the two themed objectives; a LAV-R recovery vehicle recovering a slightly scorched LAV-25 turret.

Trying to get some last bits done for my ANZAC #ww3TeamYankee force ready for next weekend's team event in Cardiff. Infantry have since been transferred to bases ready for filling.
Trying to get them ready for Wednesday's game vs @britishbersagliere.bsky.social so the "new model" curse is removed!

Some valuable lessons learned:
*Veterancy may be my armour. But Cobam is better at stopping Spandrels.
*triple check that all units are in the case. The Abbots were firing from offboard...
*Make sure you have the correct dice. Only had my German tin and the die knew it...

Duncan's idea of sticking to pre 1966 us great, but the Carnation doesn't arrive until the 70s so the old stalwart if rocket artillery is needed!

#WW3CheckpointCharlie is go, as 15 T-62 roll off the painting table. These are painted up as Soviets but I left them free of markings (not atypical for Soviets) for multiple use.

A bit of #WIP on some Soviet T-62 for #WW3CheckpointCharlie.

Pondering adding some sand coloured stripes to make them usable as Syrians in #FateofaNation.

#ww3TeamYankee #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #TankThursday

My plan was to push my BMP-2 Conpany's infantry up the centre and seize the objective whilst their BMP2 guarded the left objective.

Mike's force. He got the Fox painted up so they were. Late addition. A pair of F-4G stood in for the Harriers.

My force. I originally planned to have a recce platoon of BMP2 but I had ran out of BMP1/2 hulls! BMP3 are a touch out of period but needs must.

Sadly I have to inform that the Operation Nordic Lion '26 has been cancelled due to shared dates issue with a larger event taking place here in Finland at the same time.

Lets hope 2027 will be a better year timing wise.
