Really like the idea of doing the vehicle gunners seperate from the vehicle.

Which of the rules seems to you mas adapted finally for this period?


I've based everything for Crossfire because I'll be using these rules for most things. However, I like the sound and feel of Ambush Alley and they were the rules that made me want to do moderns in the first place.

In a couple of weeks I have a friend coming round and we are going to try the same scenario using both rules so I can compare the two. I'll be writing a full report of course :)

They look great!

I'll be interested in reading your battle reports as to how the rules compare

After a splurge on the Black cat website I've ended up with loads of urban debris/trash which I've based up for booby trap markers

Details/rules etc:

In what? Three months? Man, that's impressive.
