Stalingrad for Crossfire rules

[PaulRPetri]

Hello All.

I have not posted anything in a few months on the forum but I have not been idle. In fact as usual I have too many projects going all at once. I ran a WWII Crossfire game at our local convention back in April and it went over very well. I have run these type of games for my local gaming group and they have been very well received. So I decided to try my hand at a small Stalingrad type scenario so here is pretty much the section of town that I plan to use. Some of the pictures at the begining were taken a month or so ago when not all of the stuff was painted.






























I have the troops done I just have to take pictures of them! Thanks for looking!

Wonderfull painted ruins!

I think I see some Sarissa buildings but the others????

[blacksmith]

Fantastic ruins and table. Crossfire is not for everybody but it is a great ruleset.

[Minuteman]

These ruins look great Paul! I am not familiar with Crossfire, but I image that the different extent of the ruins, with some providing elevated firing positions for instance, will allow for a realistic and tense urban combat game.

Thanks for the kind comments. Peter no Sarissa buildings if you can believe it! Most are from a company called Novus Design here in the USA which decided to close shop not long after I started buying buildings from them!? A few are from Miniature Building authority, these were prepainted ones I bought at a real bargain at an auction this past spring, on the very last picture they are the two bottom buildings on the right side and the two top buildings also on the right side. I bought 4 buildings from a company called Table Top Terrain which prints out plastic buildings on demand. I made the ruble piles and most of the walls which I am sure you can tell.
Crossfire is a very different game however the five guys I had play in my convention game in April had never played it and really liked it. Considering Crossfire was originaly published in 1996 it is still a very fresh and new game concept in my view.

Thanks for the info about the buildings Paul!

I thought I saw this building but it's my mistake.

Old time buildings are close to my heart for design and scratch building,
however as an old time rail-roader i like the use of railway lines too.

Well done Paul, for all your hobby style time spent too. BB

Bravo, it really makes you want to sit down at the table for a few games! There is diversity in the sets, a great success.

[C M Dodson]

Very nice.

If you want to get the full demolition effect I would suggest cheap cat litter.

Spray dyed / painted it forms huge mounds of rubble for next to nothing.

Best wishes,

Chris

Thanks for all of the kind comments and suggestions. I found a few more images on my phone showing works in progress and what not.
This is a shot of the two Miniature Building Authority buildings that actually break in half to double your options.


A few works in progress shots.




A few close up shots.





Going to spray seal these bad boys.


More Close up shots




Thanks for having a look!

Thanks for sharing Paul!

An amazing collection.

My belief is for WW2 gaming terrain is *more* important than figures & vehicles. For this particular project, it is imperative.

That does not mean I'm indifferent to photos of your troops! Please post asap.

I was able to finally run a game using my Stalingrad set up. A few things went wrong from my end of things but my gaming group is pretty forgiving... Mostly anyway. I only managed to take a few shots I was too busy keeping the game moving to stop to document. Anyway here is what I was able to take.















As always thanks for looking.

What a splendid collection of ruined buildings, Paul, you have achieved a very real depiction of Stalingrad under German attack!
