How to get Crossfire:
Unfortunately Crossfire is currently in limited supply from retailers who still have stock. It is hoped there will be a reprint of the rulebook at the end of 2009 or in 2010. Meanwhile stocks of the rulebook are still available at several retailers, and we suggest you try the following first:
UK:
Spirit Games
And of course you can always keep an eye on EBay or similar sites for second hand copies, or ask the members of the Crossfire Yahoo!Group as they will often know who has copies.

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.

Arty Conliffe comments on World CrossFire
Day: Thank-You! I am [currently] busy trapping wild animals in The Bronx and caring for them. And no, wise guys, they aren't people! But I wanted to say a few words. Thanks and congrats to all of you who led the "World Crossfire Day" and participated in it. If I have any talent it seems that I am blessed with an ability to recognize and select a few good men whose veteran play testing and council have ennobled my games. In turn, the players who come to all my games after they are published, always seem well-suited to them. Yet there is always something different about CrossFire because I went "off the grid" with its design and concepts. And it seems its supporters have all gone off the grid with me. Many of the most influential guys are right here in NYC ("The New York Wargamers Association"). But just as often, I have never met some of my biggest supporters, who are billeted across the globe, like John Moher and Nikolas Lloyd. This shows what good communication means, and that is always something I strive to develop. Thank you all, and as always.... Long Life and Victory! Arty Conliffe
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 has it's own Yahoo! discussion group, which you can join by visiting the group's homepage, or by sending an email. Welcome to the world of Crossfire! See note on left sidebar for Crossfire availability. For more support and discussion of Crossfire we do strongly encourage you to join the Yahoo! Crossfire Group (you can just send an email to subscribe). |
