A quick AAR of my recent venture into Crossfire on my blog...

and just a few musings on some House Rules I've been toying with recently...
like shorting long drawn out firefights:

And some thoughts on using individual minis for Crossfire

And some silly suggestions for Hidden Deployment

Love Crossfire....

I like your suggestions on Firefights on first read but need to ponder the idea/effects.....

Thank you guys :)

Well I've tried the firefight house rules and if you want those shootouts to be resolved quicker then I think they would well...we love Crossfire but some times they can turn into a real stalemate and to be fair I think that is probably a very accurate representation...

Lovely set up.
Your rule for pinned units having 180 degree arc of fire to allow for flanking seems unnecessary though. Shooting from fire groups or crossfires can only be carried out if the target is in the front 180 degrees anyway. Attacking a group of stands from the rear only draws fire from one rifle stand which has to shoot alone (Page 10, 6.4a).

Embarrassingly matakishi several veterans of the rules pointed that out to me after seeing my blog :'(

But thanks for pointing it out...  :)
