Team Yankee American tanks finished

Here are the finished tanks, after many an ink and some drybrushing, I'm quite happy with how the camouflage came out.

In my OHW wargaming rules I will consider the M1 Abrams as a main battle tank. It will be able to take large amounts of damage and deal out plenty of hurt in return. Main battle tanks will be one of the most numerous units in my rules as they take the 'infantry' slot of the One Hour Wargames unit types. With the iconic Soviet tank columns in my mind, I don't want a game where tanks are few and far between. Along with the Abrams, other tanks I consider MBTs are the British Chieftain / Challenger, the Soviet T-80 and, perhaps controversially, the Soviet T-72.

Comparatively, the older brother of the Abrams, the M60A1, will be designated a medium battle tank. This unit type is an alternative choice to the Main battle tank; instead of one tough tank you can use two less powerful tanks. This gives you flexibility and numbers over heavy armour and devastating firepower. Other tanks I want to include in the medium battle tank category are the German Leopard 1 (if the Plastic Soldier Company bring them out in 1/72) and the second rate Soviet T-55 and T-62. Consequently I need to pick up another M60 at some stage to accompany the 'A1.
