Specifically my vehicles. I bought some new Tamiya paints to finish up my US Force (think Team Yankee with M1s and M113s) and the Cav in Bradleys.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your troops!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-40922517919912758032014-10-17T07:37:48.649-04:002014-10-17T07:37:48.649-04:00Thanks, John.

I used the stats from Team Yankee and incorporated them into Battlegroup and it worked very well. Lots of fun.<br /><br />By the way - I like your blog.

I need to get more troops and infantry painted up to get on the table! It turns out Battlegroup is a great fit for moderns as well as WW2. I am going to buy the Cold War Hot Force on Force scenario book for some "Battlegroup: REFORGER" scenarios to play! <br /><br />Now to get those Americans and additional Soviets painted up...Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-26694600073592307522014-10-16T16:41:44.104-04:002014-10-16T16:41:44.104-04:00Pretty inspirational stuff Steven!

I would think that your plan for vehicle stats might be greatly eased by looking at some of the old Command Decision Moderns or the like. I think you'll find much of the work has already been done for you there.<br /><br />I really want to break out my copies of "Team Yankee" and "Red Storm Rising" now!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-4172323104673378672014-10-16T10:08:49.080-04:002014-10-16T10:08:49.080-04:00John,
