The Book

WWIII: NATO Forces Spotlight

Back in 2018, we released Free Nations as our first multi-national book for Team Yankee. It added 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 a little more when it was suggested we add the French. The project transformed from a loose idea to do some downloadable content, into a fully-fledged book with four Western nations (well, technically five if you choose to run your ANZACs as New Zealanders).

We have now further expanded this book into World War III: NATO Forces by expanding the forces and units available to the original four choices, and have also added a fifth nation, the Belgians.

Leopard 1 Panzer Zug (TGBX14)

Leopard 1 Panzer Zug (TGBX14)
1 Armoured Regiment, Royal Australian Armoured Corps had transitioned in 1976 from the British Centurion to the Leopard 1A3, known locally as the AS1. Exhaustive trials focussed on mobility and firepower rather than the thicker armour of the competing US M60. These formidable German ‘sports cars’ are organised in troops of three main battle tanks in peacetime, in wartime this grows to four.

Abrams Tank Platoon (TUBX18)
The Australians began to lose a few of their Leopard AS1 tanks during the tough fighting in the Netherlands. Looking towards the future they have leased a number of American M1A1 Abrams tanks armed with the 120mm gun with the view of re-equipping their armoured forces in the future. The 120mm armed M1A1 Abrams can use standard NATO ammunition, utilising Dutch and West German supplies.

LAV Platoon (Plastic) (TUBX16)

LAV Platoon (Plastic) (TUBX16)
With their M113 reconnaissance vehicles bearing the brunt of the brigade's recon duties in the Netherlands and Germany, vehicle losses have mounted. This has led to re-equipping a squadron with LAVs (Light Armoured Vehicles) as used by the American Marines. These eight-wheeled vehicles provide fast mobility on roads and are armed with an M242 25mm chain gun capable of dealing with most enemy recon vehicles.

M113 MRV Platoon (TABX01)
As the eyes and ears of the 1st Brigade, 2 Cavalry Regiment’s Troops of MRVs (Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle) are the tip of the spear. Backing up the lighter M113 LRV, the M113 MRV is the direct descendant of the Saladin turreted FSV (Fire Support Vehicle).

M113 Panzermörser Zug (TGBX09)

M113 Panzermörser Zug (TGBX09)
Mortars provide extremely fast fire support and the US-made M125 is a popular choice to provide the ‘Diggers’ with relief when under ‘red’ attack. Whether it be smoke on demand, illumination at night, or highly accurate HE, the boys of the ‘Mortar Tracks’ get rounds downrange as needed, pronto.

Australian M113 Upgrade Pack (TAU241)
Affectionately known as the ‘Bucket’, the M113 provides the ‘Diggers’ with fire support from a combination of .50 cal M2 and .30 cal M1919 Browning machine-guns in a T50 Cadillac Gage one-man turret — fantastic right until you need to clear a jam from these potent but old weapons. The only improvement over the original Vietnam-era vehicles is the addition of a bolted-on passive night vision periscope in place of the existing periscope.

Anti-tank Land Rover Section (TAU121)

Anti-tank Land Rover Section (TAU121)
The 106mm Recoilless on a Short Wheel Base Landrover 88 has seen extensive Aussie service, being useful as both an anti-bunker, as well as an anti-tank, weapon. The ‘Gun Buggy’ provides a potent weapon that is lethal against both medium and light armour. The dual-purpose HEP-T (High Explosive Plastic-Tracer) rounds are especially prized for their bunker-busting abilities by the more creative ‘Diggers’. An ideal weapon for an ambush.

Scorpion or Scimitar Troop (TBBX03)
New Zealand’s Queen Alexandra’s Squadron train closely with the Aussies ‘across the ditch’ (the Tasman Sea) as part of the ANZAC Brigade. They are renowned for their skills not only in the recce role but also as close infantry support and are able to get their 16 Scorpions into places a Leopard could only dream of.

Mechanised Platoon (TAU702)
The 5/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment is the only mechanised battalion in the Australian Army and is the largest mechanised battalion in the world at this time.

Milan Section (TAU704)
The Milan missile is a modern man-portable, light anti-tank missile. Its small size makes the missile team easy to dig in and conceal, yet it can penetrate most tanks.
