Mechfire (Crossfire clone)

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

Did those new ones come from the paperwar website? I cant find them

was a joke,i didnt knew that a Paperwar Site exists...

[Jaeger]

Sorry no. They're experimental. Although they are made out of the same components as the mechs (minus wings, wheels and tail of the airplane).

In time I might decide to put them up. Also all markings (stars, numbers etc.) aren't on the paperwar website.

I'm also doing some APCs for my older models so i can get playing asap. In time I hope to make 2 or more Mech companies for Mechfire.

Here's my old 58th Lance "The Bulldogs" comprised solely by Cyclops and their command vehicle (Platoon Commander):

The site he linked to in the first post, the one the paper models came from is actually called that.   

I will try my hand at building some myself, I must say your work looks very clean and crisp, something paper models often should look but end up lacking.

[Momotaro]

Tho paper mechs are really nice, and you've done a good job constructing them.  They have a style all their own that works really well.

[Jaeger]

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Feel free to ask any questions about assembling the models. I haven't made instructions, but I'll be happy to post more pictures of the models, so you might get an idea of what goes where.

Just wondering where the rules can be found?

Thanks in advance,

Well Crossfire is a bit hard to come by. It's apperently not in print atm. but you can find more info here:

http://crossfire.wargaming.info/

Another great resource for Crossfire and what it can be used for is here:

http://www.matakishi.com/

There's also a nice QRS to be downloaded there.

I'll personally be changing a bit here and there, but the game mechanics will more or less be the same as Crossfire (I'll post these changes here when I get to it).

Crossfire is still available from Caliver Books.

[Jaeger]

Ah thanks. Didn't know that.

I've finished the first Tank Platoon:



And I think I'll be using the following CC modifiers:

Artillery Tank -2
Battle Tank -1
Scout Mech 0
Mech +1 (and further bonuses for CC arms)

Sorry, I meant where is the Mechfire and Cyberfire clones of Crossfire.

It was late here when I posted, AND I'm sick, And my wife won't sing, "Soft Kitty"to me.

[Jaeger]

Ah. Sorry.

Well there isn't really a Mechfire or Cyberfire rulesystem as such. They are mere modifications of the Crossfire system.

Different troop types, modifications to CC and Fire modifiers etc.

No army lists or such, but Mechfire might have some in time.

Think of it as Crossfire but with different miniatures (that have a few special rules).

I think the paper mechs look great. Personally I can never make paper kits properly so I've given up trying but yours look splendid.

Ditto!! They are really well put together. If they had some raised panels added and were painted instead of having a printed colour scheme, nobody would be able to tell they were paper from thus pics.

Very nice indeed.

Ditto the ditto, save I must now hate you for how well they look, but the lead painters in these parts are quite used to my envious enmity, so don't take it personally. ;->=

Ha, ha. Don't worry. I'm a hater too. Have to be (union rules and stuff   )

But right now I happy that I only need two more mechs to complete two forces:

[Jaeger]

One down:



..and one to go.

This is the Viper model, and it will have the Alpha Strike special ability.

Alpha Strike will enable the mech to add dice to it's Fire, but the mech will afterwards be suppressed (but not lose the initiative).

Any thoughts on how many dice would be fair? 1d or 2d?

The last mech is ready for folding and glue, but in the meantime I've been upgrading MechCity.

A mech lance stalks through MechCity, while a tank platoon lies in wait:
