Who Dares Wins - The ANZAC SAS in Team Yankee - Part 1
With Luke Daley

Hello my dear readers! I have a surprise in store for

you...I have developed rules for the ANZAC (New
Zealand and Australian) Special Air Services. I will
assume these two forces have been combined and
thrown into the Third World War of Team Yankee.

The Australian SAS was formed in 1957, and New

Zealand’s was formed in 1955. Both forces take
inspiration from the British SAS, which had started life as a unit of
paratroopers during WW2. Both formations had combat
experience in Vietnam, until their withdrawal in 1973.

In Team Yankee​ the Australians and New Zealanders have

combined their forces into an expeditionary force that is based in
Europe, and is fighting on the side of NATO. We can presume that
in such a situation the special forces counterparts to this ANZAC
force would get involved.

Rules for ANZAC SAS ​are a mix of Australian rules and

American ones, which is reflective of their equipment and training.
These are however a light infantry force, so don’t expect much
armour.

ANZAC SAS infantry ​are just like ANZAC infantry except

they are mounted in Huey helicopters. These helicopters
would be provided by the RAAF or any NATO forces that
could spare such machines. ​Count ANZAC SAS infantry
as ANZAC infantry, and replace their M113s with Huey
helicopters. Use American Airborne unit cards for the
Hueys.

The only other ANZAC SAS unit ​are the M113 cavalry
vehicles that would have been used as support and recon.
Add these to your force like you would for an ANZAC
Mechanized Company.

So to conclude, if you want ANZAC SAS, form them

like ANZAC Mechanised Companies, but replace their
transports with Hueys. As with any other NATO force you can combine them
with friendly formations.
Who Dares Wins - The ANZAC SAS in Team Yankee - Part 2
With Luke Daley

Still up for doing some ANZAC special forces? Great!

Here’s some advice….

Shopping List:
● For ANZAC SAS infantry I would buy the
ANZAC infantry sets from Battlefront.
● For ANZAC Huey helicopters, I would buy the
Huey squadron sets from Battlefront, or go to
Butler’s Printed Models.
● For ANZAC SAS recon M113s, buy the
relevant M113 sets from Battlefront.

Painting Guide:

The ANZAC SAS infantry​ used particularly in Vietnam,

jungle camouflage. They have been spotted in other
khaki/more temperate uniforms and as such you may
want to use normal ANZAC camouflage patterns, jungle
patterns, or even the earlier-produced green and black
patterns.

ANZAC SAS vehicles ​may differ from normal ANZAC

vehicles in camouflage. Many vehicles were in a khaki
drab, and were in Australian Army camouflage but were
covered in vegetation. I leave this choice up to you.
ANZAC SAS helicopters ​could be painted like those of
the RAAF, or those that belong to the army. No. 9
squadron of the RAAF was heavily involved in
operations during the 1970s and 80s alongside the
ANZAC SAS.

Good luck with your SAS!
