Crossfire AAR

Pictures_01_26_09 013


Originally uploaded by msoong

I have been hearing how "revolutionary" a ruleset Crossfire is for the better part of a decade now, and my buddy Freddy is a proponent. But due to lack of broad local support, and just that lack of "something" while reading the rules means that I didn;t really get to try it until now.



What changed is that now we are playing almost every week, and we are off to explore what other rulesets can we use with our good sized Flames of Wars army. with some help from Freddy we got a game on.



We played an intro scenario we got from a CF fan site. The situation is a small town in Normandy defended by the US Para, and being counter attacked by German infantry with 1x tank support. The rules really is revolution in that:

1) it has no turns. If you have played Blood Bowl then you have a similar situation (if you keep executing "successful" actions then you keep going, the turn immediately switches if you failed an action.

2) Simple rules (a D6 diepoll mechanism where level of success depends on how many D6 "passed")

3) Extremely exciting and stressful (in a good way)



The stress sometimes cause us players to fo into befuddled mode ("What do I do now?") To increase the stress someone suggested using a chess clock to definitely kick it up a notch.



That said there are some minus:

- It's definitely not a "general" set of rules that can be used in any situation. For one thing a good CF scenario requires a lot of cover on the table (basically LOF is across the table since there are really no measureing. So if you have clear LOS to a target, its days are numbered). By that measure any engagement in wide open terrain is not a good candidate for these rules.



- Not really designed for AFV. Come on, I want all my shiny tanks on the table!



So a set of rules for an occasional outing, especially for city/village scenarios where other rules sucks at.
