Team Yankee - American Force - 75pts



Today ill be taking at look at my first force for Team Yankee



Americans - 75pts
M1 Abrams Armored Combat Team HQ
M1 Abrams x 2 - 16pts
M1 Abrams Tank Platoon
M1 Abrams x 2 - 16pts
M1 Abrams Tank Platoon
M1 Abrams x 2 - 16pts
M163 Vads AA Platoon
M163 VADS x 2 - 3pts
M113 Mech Platoon
Full Strength + 1 more Dragon Team - 7pts
M901 ITV Anti-Tank Platoon
M901 ITV x 2 - 3pts
M109 Field Artillery Battery
M109 x 3 - 7pts
AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopter Platoon
AH-1 Cobra x 2 - 7pts

Although the platoons of Abrams are small they can still dish out a fair chunk of damage in return. In a 100pt list I would definitely fill them out to 4 Tank Platoons.
A full Mech Platoon was taken mainly with the idea of getting to an objective and digging in, given the extra Dragon Team for further anti-tank capability.
Two of each for the M901 and M163 Platoons, making them from the one boxed set. I would like to get 2 more M163's but it seems a waste to get another box when you can only have 2 M901's. The biggest thing this list lacks is good AA. The VADs just simply lack the range that their Soviet counterparts have.
Then we have the two Cobras that will sneak around the map and use cover to pop up and pick off 
T-72s from range.

Overall it is a list i am still experimenting with, whilst at the same time looking at what could be added at 100pts.
