HMG versus Armour in Crossfire

3 Nov 202221 Feb 2003 by Steven Thomas

Some musing on machine guns versus armour in Crossfire. Standard Crossfire doesn’t cover this.

Bazookas versus Structures in Crossfire

3 Nov 202221 Feb 2003 by Steven Thomas

Some musing on Bazookas versus Structures in Crossfire. There is a good argument that the added firepower of the Bazooka isn’t significant compared to the firepower dished out by the normal squad weapons (LMG in particular), but if you do want a rule then you’ve got choices here.

Some musing on Armoured Infantry in Crossfire. Half-tracks were armoured troop carriers in WW2. But in Crossfire they are close combat killing machines, particularly if they’ve got passengers on board.

Revised Points System for Crossfire Armour

Rule - Balagan Points System - Crossfire - Banner

In Crossfire all tanks have the same point cost even though they have different characteristics. Similarly for armoured personnel carriers (APC) and anti-tank guns (ATG). The idea is you pay the standard points cost and then roll dice to see what type of tank/gun you get for your points. It is a bit like a lottery … buy your ticket and see what you win.

Gun versus Arm Matrix in Crossfire

Some musing on Gun versus Arm Matrix for anti-tank fire in Crossfire. This idea was tossed around by a few people on the Crossfire-WWII discussion forum. I first noted if when Robert Tesfro mentioned it. Others have given variations. Essentially anti-tank fire is handled with the same rule as infantry fire. No PEN and ARM.

Some musing a modified accuracy (ACC) in Crossfire. See my House Rules for the ACC rules I actually use.

Some musing on armed soft skinned vehicles in Crossfire. Standard Crossfire doesn’t cover this. An idea from Keith on the Crossfire Discussion forum, tweaked by me.
