These include tanks for the main factions, the Soviets / Warsaw Pact, West Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States of America. These contain all the gaming stats and rules for not only the two tanks included but also all the currently available kits from the Team Yankee range. These are standard 15mm self-assembly plastic miniatures, as already released in the Team Yankee range. When opened, the first items to be encountered are the miniatures, with two plastic T-64 tanks and one M1 Abrams.
