Earth's defenders.
(Not new, just rebased for Crossfire so I can use them in my Future Wars project)

by artificial soldier, you're not refering to the explosives disposal specialist are you?

[Whiskyrat]

Checked the BLOG - great stuff there - as usual. 

What special rules will the Doctor provide the Unit player?


@Earthdog - Perhaps Criamon meant to type Artificer rather than Artificial?

I haven't decided yet, I'll probably write up a set of Who rules once the Daleks and Cybermen are based up.

I bought a set of Crossfire rules after BLAM, so I'm more than a little interested in how this turns out.

Love that Pertwee Doctor miniature. He is my fav of the old Doctors. Followed by Tom Baker. Literally, in this case!

Sorry for my english 
I wanted to say artificer, "the man who disabled the bomb". xD

I knew what you meant

Here are my preliminary thoughts for Crossfire Daleks for those that care:

Daleks:

5 shooting dice. Immune to small arms fire. Ignore pins (count as a miss). -2 in close combat. Must shoot at the nearest non Dalek unit as a fire action. No cover bonuses ever. 2 suppressions won't kill them, opponents need a kill result or a close combat win. Daleks recover from being suppressed (just confused really, or overcome with rage) on 4+

Daleks can fly.


(These are my current Daleks, they'll be based in threes for Crossfire, and be levitating too I think, for added menace)

[Whiskyrat]

Blimey - a tough nut to crack with my dice rolling.

I like the immune to small arms and 2 suppressions won't kill 'em rules - very flavoursome.


Would Dalek flight count as some sort of a Special Action (roll a 5 or 6)?

They alreay don't get cover bonuses and there's the turn 1 advantage of being able to move anywhere on the board.


I guess the Doctor could add a penalty to the Dalek suppressed rally roll if he's within one base of the nearest stand of UNIT troops - the Daleks don't know whether to shoot at the UNIT troops (nearest non Dalek unit) or capture the Doctor?

ooo nice work on the Daleks... and unit.
i've just ordered the gripping beast mo-fo brits to use as unit, and will pick them up at crusade in penarth end of the month

Lovely as always Matakishi.  I've been wanting to do a big Daleks project myself, but Dalek miniatures are very difficult to get in quantity on this side of the pond.  Yours are beautiful and scary, as they should be.

Flight just means they can move over obstacles, flying in Crossfire usually means more things can shoot at you no need to roll for it.
I'm not sure I'm clear about your second point though.

Have you located any suitable female soldier figure to go with them?

[matakishi]

Nope.
