Team Yankee

[Arne 0]

We just want to say Hello and introduce our new website to the OFP-community.

"Another Mod?" you may ask. Well, not a complete Mod of its own. We want the player of our upcoming campaign to play as Captain Bannon, commander of Team Yankee, a tank heavy combat team stationed in West Germany in summer of 1985. The iron curtain is still in existance and Soviet aggression is rising...

The player will see the first fourteen days of World War III through Captain Bannon's eyes with missions to play as they are descibed in Harold Coyle's novel "Team Yankee".

If you want to know more of our Mod then visit us at Team Yankee.

Don't miss our FAQ section and we invite you to visit our forums.

Arne, Team Yankee

I enjoyed the book and the original game, good luck with it

Thank you mates for the wishes and it's always nice to see that the book does not seem to be as 'unknown' as we thought.

bye, Arne

Sounds good, so good luck with this one!

...I just have to ask...is Arne your real name? If so, are you from the nordic countries?

I've got an urge to read it again now, must be at least 10 years since I read it.

I hope the campaign will start of with Garger getting his daily ass-chewing for breaking radio silence

Didn't read the book, but played the game on an Atari ST and Amiga 500 Good on you for taking this idea up for a mod.

[canukausiuka 1]

Definitely looking forward to this. I finally read the book last year, and it would be quite cool to play through it. In fact, I'm sort of suprised nobody has done it before. Good luck fellas

Yes it's my real name, but I'm German.

Uuups ... he can read my thoughts

You may remember the map that came in the box?

We are using that one for island creation.

Atari... once upon a time there was Atari....

If anyone wants to help us, contact us on our forum (Link is in my first post)

Ha! I used to have Team Yankee the game (as well as Pacific Islands, the sequel) and I loved both very much. I remember the graphics at the time were as close to real as I'd ever seen.

I still have the book and the graphic novel somewhere around here...

Is the graphic novel worth the money Hellfish? Just spotted it at E-Bay this morning.

[hellfish6 7]

Thats where I got mine. I lost the one I had when I was a kid. It's OK, I'm not much of a comic book person so I can't compare it to anything, but some of the drawings are a little "off" - like the T-72s don't quite look like T-72s and sometimes the M-1s look a little too angular. But I'm nitpicky like that.

[Uziyahu--IDF 0]

Yeah, I read the book while I was in the Army in the late '80's. Read much like the meat-grinder battles that set the stage for the role-playing game, "Twilight: 2000".

We have updated our site with some new screenshots. Those who are interessted might take a look here --> TEAM YANKEE MOD

Looking good. I like that M88 you got in the works.

[Uziyahu--IDF 0]

I wouldn't mind lending a hand in the authenticity department. I served in the U.S. Army from '86 to '89. Msg me or something.

Tonight we proudly present the first in-game screenshots of out Team Yankee M88 Armoured Recovery Vehicle. Still in alpha, but we try to release it in Feb./2005 if nothing seriously happens.

And another on from behind:

Visit us at Team Yankee - A WW3 Mod

bye, Arne

[Ironsight 1]

Nice work mate

What other units are planned?

[Arne 0]

Most of the units we need have been made by other teams by now:

- M113, M3, M901 by Combat!

- M1 by Inquisitor

But we are still waiting for a T-62

The M88 Pack will probably contain a uparmoured M88A2 HERCULES, too.

Perhaps I'm going to make a M981 FIST, don't know yet.

Some static Addons are in beta by now and when they don't do any hazards when set in WrpTool, we'll release them.

bye, Arne

[king homer 1]

I've posted something in your forum, it might help you.

[raedor 8]

good to see you guys around here.

now i know who "arne" is i mailed with

why don't you take our t-55s as a placeholder for the t-62s? i mean, who knows RHS also knows that we're releasing 1-2 addons per year... i hope we can increase this rate a bit this year!
