Escalation League this summer | Forum

My hesitation with a team yankee league is we have several people without team yankee forces who may wish to participate in an escalation league and likely not enough forces to help get them all playing especially with Dan departing halfway through.

Team Yankee does sound good! And for those who do not have troops, well we do have stuff to share! And with the book Free Nations coming out, there are even more choices to pick from if someone wanted to start an army!

I guess LW as it would probably have the most draw.

Don’t forget, that the purpose of an escalation league is to provide players who don’t have armies a chance to get started small.

That is true, if there is enough interest we can certainly shoot to do a team yankee escalation league this summer.

Since we have not done anything with Team Yankee this year, that may be a good choice! Especially since the new book is coming out and we will have quite a bit of NATO forces out. You know like USA, British, West German, and now Dutch, Canadian, Aussie and Kiwi, and French! Of course we only still have East German and Russian on the other side, but some people have been saying that other Warsaw Pact Nations may be coming out later this year! Overall I believe an Escalation League would be good to run this summer!

Either way I am in the process of painting the US anti BMP (and anti infantry) horde now.

I’m going to be in and out of town all summer so I’ll just participate when I can. I’m not very fond of Team Yankee, at least not in 15mm, but I have enough bits and bobs to play pretty much every era.
Is the eastern front MW stuff coming out this summer? Might that encourage some MW (all-fronts) love?

A mid-war league could be fun, but it may be one to push off until August and the release of all of the fun mid-war things. That being said maybe we do the firestorm Stripes campaign this summer and then do a mid-war escalation league in the fall?

Not that it matter much to me given the distance I would have to traverse to play with you. But the Stalingrad books drop in late August and early September. If you guys want to do a Stalingrad campaign I might be able to slide a good portion of a city board your way.

Challis and I have been in talks to do a Stalingrad themed campaign for a while actually, a city board could certainly make things interesting.
