Does anyone play or has anyone played these rules? Seems like Crossfire at the man to man scale which has me very interested. I see the Yahoo Group is submerged in spam. |

We have played it some years ago. It is a nice idea, like Crossfire. But it has to many problems in playing, so we stopped playing it. |

Hi Decebalus, I would be interested to hear the problems that you encountered too. |

Running a game this weekend as a matter of fact. I't s about the third or fourth time I've run them. Like Crossfire, you have to approach scenario design a bit differently as there are no turns. I don't use the "role-playing" part of Red Poppy where you can advance your squad. I just use assign skills before play based on what was likely or useful. My group has worked out a few house rules for some minor details but we pretty much go with the rules as written. |

Has anyone created a PDF version of the rules? |

I am sorry, but it is a long time. I really cant remeber exactly. As far as i remember: One problem was the possibility to make non-risk actions, to not loose the initiative. (There is the same problem in Crossfire!?) We fixed that with a house rule. The other problem was, that we often had something like stalemates. Got shot and pinned, stand up, shot and pinned again … The last i remember was that we used the experience system and got something like uber-heroes. |
