Seestrasse Sector in “Operation Crossfire” – A Battle Report
Chris Harrod, Joe Harrison and I played the Seestrasse Sector part of Operation Crossfire. Chris was ISIS SUNRAY, commander of the attacking Allies/Soviets and host for the day. Joe was our guest from Peterborough and took the role of SONNE GUNTHER, commander of the Axis/German defenders. I was the UMPIRE and provided the kit. Steve Spence was OFFA and Michael Stringer was NORN, the Commander-in-Chiefs of the Allies and Axis respectively – of course they were only involved in our game via an erratic radio (email) link.
The event was fantastic. An exciting battle fought as part of an inspired one day campaign. Full marks to the Nikolas Lloyd (BIG CHEESE), who was the inspired genius behind the event and the Commander-in-Chief of the umpires on the day.
92nd Naval in Stalingrad – A Crossfire Battle Report 2
Chris Harrod (Germans) and Nuno Pereira (Soviets) played my Crossfire scenario 92nd Naval in Stalingrad. For Chris it was his second go – he’d played the German commander in a previous game.

Martin Groat and group chose my Mekensievy-Gory Scenario to use as a Crossfire participation game at Salute 2012.
Mekensievy-Gory – A Crossfire Battle Report 2
Martin Groat and his friend Bob tried out my Mekensievy-Gory Scenario. Martin sent through a battle report. Apparently they enjoyed the game. I particularly appreciated Martin’s comment that it was a “fiendish scenario” with “lots of tactical possibilities”.
Ring of Iron – A Crossfire Battle Report
Andrew Coleby and I play tested my Ring of Iron Scenario. I’d only knocked it together in a couple of hours and that showed in the design. I subsequently changed three things.
Carabanchel – Crossfire Battle Report 2
In the second game of Carabanchel Scenario Chris Harrod played the defending Republicans and I played the attacking Moroccans.
Carabanchel – Crossfire Battle Reports
I’ve played my Carabanchel Scenario a few times now. All were close run affairs until the final moments.
Carabanchel – Crossfire Battle Report 1
Chris Harrod and I played my Carabanchel Scenario. Chris played the attacking Nationalist Moroccan Regulares and I played the Republican Militia.
Moroccan Knives – A Crossfire Battle Report
Andrew Coleby and I tried out my Moroccan Knives scenario set in the Spanish Civil War. Andrew wanted to try a Spanish Civil scenario for Crossfire and I wanted to experiment with a small table and lots of terrain; like the 2 Foot City but in the countryside. We only get a couple of hours to play when Andrew comes over so the game had to be small. All this meant we had small companies facing each other on a 4’x3′ table covered in woods features. It turned out to be a good little game.
Malmedy – A Crossfire Battle Report
Dick Bryant sent through a battle report for my Malmedy Scenario. In fact he has played it twice (Game1 and Game2) but has only provided some summary comments for the second game.
Andalusian Motorcade – A Crossfire Battle Report
Chris Harrod and I played my Andalusian Motorcade scenario with Chris as the defending Militia and me as the advancing Column Ascensio.
Battle Group Friebe – A Crossfire Battle Report
Rich Wilcox and I play through the scenario Tarnopol: Battle Group Friebe, the third part of our Crossfire Campaign: 3 Round Tarnopol. It has been 18 months since played the game so the details have been lost with time but Rich won the game and hence the campaign. Rich also captured a few snaps.
