"Asking for suggestions..." Topic

Hi,
I'm a CROSSFIRE player and I'm very happy with it.
I think it's unique due to its intuitive dynamics and its realistic simulation of Squads/Platoons movements and interaction in a small combat area.
My only "complaint" is about its terrains' quantity, that makes very difficult the game set up and the scenarios' construction.

Well, I'm looking for a WWII Ruleset (the same intuitive…) I can play on the same table (120 x 120 cm / 4' x 4'), but with a lower terrains' density and an easier preparation.

PBI2 from Peter Pig would fit on that sized table. It's a grid-based game which may or may not appeal. Force size is a supported company.

Err… What scale miniatures are you using?

Out of curiosity, is it really that hard to lay the amount of terrain required by Crossfire on a 4' by 4' table top?

The reality is if you look out the window there are not that many open spaces that would not lead t osome sort of terrain template in Crossfire… unless you wish to assault across and open field…

REgular Crossfire players can correct me but I think the key terrain bits are those that are specific like house that meant asomething or are key to the scenarion, hold the church at the cross roads etc…. The rest such as bits of wood or brush the cover the rest of the board are really meant to be indicative of terrain and allowoing the game mechanics to work.

If Woods are indicated then as long as you have a large section of woods in that area that allow for players to keep moving troops and the enemy to try wrest the initiative then you should be ok.

You already play the best rules out there, you just need more terrain! I'll sell ya some great terrain, cheap. A bunch of shattered trees & shell holed hills,
Take a look:

Failing that, I agree with stenicplus.

Please Tim,
forgive my human weakness!!!

Crossfire. Nothing else!!!
Eh, eh, eh!!!

All kidding aside, maybe I should try to find a quicker system to set up my table!!!

I have to admit (and I am a competitor) that inside its avowed range of play which is very close in fighting, it is better than most. It is not desighed for open terrain. It won't work. If its crosfire terrain you have a problem with, buy or even make terrain that can be folded/diassembled quickly so the storage is not a problem.

These are our "commecial" buildings but you can make them from cerial packet and paint them. They go together quick and take no space when put away. A 4 foot square table would take no more than a box file for 20 to 30 buildings and still only a few minutes to assemble.

Fix the terrain don't throw the game away because of the terrain.
