Crossfire is a set of innovative Wargaming Rules that delivers high-intensity action for miniatures gamers without the inconvenience of rulers or fixed turns. They are one of the first rule sets to use a genuine “variable length bound” that is not artificially contrived. This means there is no set amount of activity that can occur in a players “turn”, nor is there any limit on how often a player can “have a turn”. The result reproduces real life experiences and greatly adds to the ‘fog of war’ effect.
Another innovative feature is the lack of measurements – that’s right, you don’t need a ruler to play Crossfire! Turns are a combination of impulse (you just keep doing things until stopped by something or someone) and modular (an individual move ends whenever you enter a new object or terrain feature). Again this works well with the “variable length bound” concept and creates a real-life like ebb and flow of company and battalion level combat.

Crossfire is a set of rules written by Arty Conliffe for a game simulating World War Two battles on a company level. I have been playing this game for a couple of years now, and I love it. Never entirely satisfied with any set of rules without a bit of tinkering, I have made various additions and alterations to the rules, and I usually play the game on a scale not intended by the author, where one figure represent one man, rather than one base of three figures representing one section or squad. The game I play, though, is essentially the same game and I hope that these pages are of some use to Crossfire players, players of similar games, and that they might even get someone who has no knowledge of wargaming interested in finding out more.
Here are presented various aspects of Lloyd's work on Crossfire. Click and be comparatively happy.
