Title: Suburbs of Stalingrad [CF Battle Report]
Post by: Edmund2011 on 31 July 2014, 09:51:55 AM
Hi,

Here are some pics and report of a small Crossfire game in the East Front. The objective as to take a Soviet house strongpoint without losing 2/3 of the attacking forces.

Very fun, furious and fast scenario!!  Blitz-game!  ;)

Excuse the low quality of the pics as they were taken with my cellphone.

Ed

Nicely done, Edmund - reminds me that small games (which are fun & fast) are great - sometimes I find myself struggling with wargames-inertia because I'm thinking that it's going to take loads of time to set up a game...

Thanks a lot guys!

Hey Nik, nice to see you here again  :)  

" sometimes I find myself struggling with wargames-inertia because I'm thinking that it's going to take loads of time to set up a game..."

Sometimes less is more!

Roby, the table was 150cmx100cm more or less... but all the action happened in half of the table because the objetive was in the middle and the germans entered through one side.

Great looking stuff Edmund.  I'm also a big fan of small games these days, and I keep trying to get off my butt and get my Crossfire rules back out. 

I'm looking forward to your next one!

V/R,
Jack
