John Lewis (my co-author) and | had already put many enjgabie hours ‘into leaning and playing CROSS: FIRE. Most of our games revolved around pre-generated scenarios so it seemed a natural thing to properly research and document wnat we were already doing and to incorporate it alto a coherent whole - the work you are now reading, John and | initially wanted to do scenarios covering all of World War I in all of iis theaters, We quickly realized that this was not to be - there are simply to0 many good "sce- ‘nario opportunities” for a single book — or several such! ‘We decided, then, to limit ourselves to introducing the var- ious campaigns in Eurgpe, trom the boginning_of Barbarossa until VE Day We've included eight scenarios ‘each from the Eastern Front and the Western nd five from the italian Campaign. Rather than break them ‘ut by theater, we presented them chronologically. you simply must know how things turned out without wading through most of the war in Europe, go directly to Scenario 21, "Race for the Reichstag’, with the compliments of Chis Leach? These scenarios were all designed with CROSSFIRE in mind. The orders of batle, however, can al be adapled wth tte oF no efor 'o other games using the squad as the bane maneier element. though CROSSFIRE op leg no ground scale, one could safely assum any ofthe Bate maps presenta herein to measure approxmatoly 500 moters (ave or take 100 metors but who count ing?) toa four foot map edge. When researching the scenarios we focused less on fencuring that every scenario represented an historical milestone in the history of infantry combat and more on finding enjoyable, gameable scenarios. People read the former; they play the latter. Though we ted hard to achieve a modicum of accuracy in our orders of battle and terrain, we cheerfully altered scenario. details, when required, for the sake of the game. Generally we com: ‘mented on our more egregious changes in the scenarios ‘notes. As has been written elsewhere, these scenarios do ‘Rot put you in the Company Commanders shoes to change history. They do give you a variety of frameworks for enjoyable games. We tried to make our maps reasonably clear and consis- tent with the CROSSFIRE terrain types. In a couple of cases, new terrain types ~ or treatments ~ were neces sary end we address those cases in the special rules or in tho scenario rules. A short terrain key appears else- where in this book.

Thanks must g0 to a number of people without whom these scenaric ‘would never have seen light of day. Johnson Hood, of Wargames Inc., made the entire etiort possible. Arty CConiitfe gave John and me the chance to make something of this opportunity. Chris Leach provided (on his phone bill) valuable rules feedback and even provided a sce- nario, Artuto Filipo Loriol information on the italian Army in Sicly that we'd simply never have found otherwise. Charles C. Sharp di likewise for the Soviet Army ~ both in fis books (see the bbingraphy) and in coup of ater chaotic meetings, complete with documentation, held at HMGS conventions. The local gang of gamers, including (in no particular order) Fuss Jenson, Scott Thompson, Victor Graulau, John Drye, Tom Lutke, and others, helped play one or mare of the scenarios to ensure their playabil- hty * and inveterate tinkerors that they are, provided a host cf suggestions to help the rules (and scenarios) play even better.

You may find, how ‘ever, altar repeated playings of a scenario, or even after carefully reading a scenaro, that the play balance isn’t there {or you, and wind up wondering “What were they thinking?” ‘There are so many variables on the tabletop that our con- cept of play balance, based on the outcomes of our play tests, may not match yours. Experiment! If the sceriafio'’s |Ustt00 short for Side A to accomplish its objectives, length- nthe scenario. i Side B gets pushed off the Game board every game, give it a few extra squads. We've had good luck with terrain alterations in this regard. In Scenario 13. Bocage, we found that altering the troop strengths on the ‘game board changed the scenario too much (due to the ow {oop density) so we instead allowed the the German player to clear a couple of the fields to set up kill zones. Try t— gre the Germans an extra fulstengh platoon and delete fe claared fields and see wnat happens. We generally erred on the side of larger game boards for several reasons. For one, John ives seting up detailed bat- tlegrounds, which adds’ immensely to our enjoyment of the game,’ Moce importantly, playing a scenario with per- haps three companies folal strength (no matter thal thoy eiganized into a hall dozen reduced-strength compares) ‘11a four by six foot game board opens up the game Things Wil stil fond to happen festest and most furiously at a given Paint on the board, but the extra room aves space for troops to extricate tiemselves from combat, regroup, rede ploy. et...t makes the game more fui. Beyond LOS, defined in the introduction, there's one other acronym we use in this book ~ RBF, which stands for recon by fire. We've long held that REF against a linear terrain feature such as a wall or hedge (or, alter you read the Special Rules, a crest!) should not be ‘conducted down the length ofthe terain feature. if you use commercial or other) ‘modular walls or hedges, alow a single RBF to affect a sin- Je length of wall or hedge. If you use very long pieces: {Some model train shops sell lengths of hedge designed to be cut up before use), allow an RBF to be conducted against, say, 4 infantry stands’ width at a time. We varied how we did things from scenario to scenario for Jarigy and to explore tne ciferent ways in which they could be done. Take a look at the number of ways in which victo- Ty is determined, the scenario sections dealing with rei {orcements, or even at how snipers are allocated. They all work; one gamer will prefer one way of doing things, and. ‘another gamer, another way... Whenever we refer to a specific rule in the original rules in this book, we do so thus: (CROSSFIRE 6.3.1), which in this Instance,’ refers to CROSSFIRE Rule 63.1, the Target Priority Fule, We refer to a D3 in numerous instances. & 03 is a normal Six sided die that, when rolled, has a result of 1 or 2 equal toa 1, a3 or 4 equal to a2, anda 5 or 6 equal fo a 3. When ‘you see, for example, 10344, it means generate a D3 result {nd add 1 tof ‘Special Rules In designing these scenarios, we ciscovered a few special Situations not covered by the general CROSSFIRE tules, or Which, due to our own perversity, we wanted to more fully investigate. Infantry combat, after all, isa reasonably com plicated matter, one set of rules cannot be expected to Cover everything! To address these situations we developed Several rules thet dent change the CROSSFIRE system but dd fo It. Rather than list and expiain the folowing rules ach time they oceur inthe scenarios, they appear below fiong with explanatory notes, and are imply feerred to the applicable scenarios. In ihe spint of CROSSFIRE, te following should be categorized as “experimental” or ‘advanced’ rules, as descrived in CROSSFIRE on page 44 incall cases they are how we handled game sitvations, and fol the ‘officia” way to handle those situations, Other less ener appleabie scenano-sgctc ues wil eppea ose scenarios special rules sections. Special Rule 1~ Night 4.0 Fighting at night has a tempo allits own. Command control is degraded, the troops cannot see, and combat tends to be shorter, sharper, and much more reactive than daylight ighting, 1.1 Stands are limited at night to performing one pivot action and one move action per initiative phase. 1.2 _A stand that is in cover and has not yet fired during the scenario may not be fired on except from within the ‘same terrain feature, This includes reactive fie. 1.8 Astand in the open may be fired upon normally. 1.4 All night-time direct fire is conducted at a one fre die penalty. As is usual, this fire die penalty is not cumula- tie. 1.5. Ambush fre occurs normally. 1.8. Indirect fre occurs normally except as restricted by 1.2, above. Special Rule 2 - Crests 20. A Crest, on tne game board, represents the minor undulations that’ ever the flatest terrain has ~ those try 1h ha atow a squad ox moe to he themes oh wtien theyre apparantly siting in the open In game terms, thoy vars to bck LOS i oftorwae open tons 2.4 Crests block LOS uniess either the spotter or the large! are adjacent to (Le, touching) te crest. 2.2. Crests provide cover against direct fre only, and only ifthe target is on the far side of the crest from the frer, yhting Special Rule 3~ Clits 3.0 Cilffs reprosont those sheer faces where the {ground elevation changes abruptly and which are dificut to fraverse. The rules below are the general case, which may be elaborated on by spoctic scenarios 3.1. To cross or traverse a. cif takes three move actions. During the first action, the moving stand moves adjacent to the top or bottom of the cif. During the second action, the stand crosses the cliff. During the third action the Stand continues its movernent normally. 3.2 Ciifs block LOS unless either the spotter or the tar- {got is touching the clf-top. 33. Vehicles may not traverse cits.Special Rule 4 ~The Moving Clock 4.0. in many of our scenarios we needed a quick, easy 10 use way to portray the passage of time because one side ‘r the other in the scenario had only limited time to fulfil their objectives, In keeping with the spirit of CROSSFIRE, the passage of time may be neither fixed nor certain. Alter ‘much play-testing we've settled on the following simple ‘method. 4.1_ At the end of the second players initiative phase ‘oll one die. Ifa scenario-spectfied score is met or exceed: {ed by the die, a scenario-speciied set amount of time has passed. For example, a scenario might specity, “The scenario ‘begins at 0630 and ends at noon. The clock advances a halt ur on @ rol of 4+ on one die atthe end of each German intiative phase.” Generally, our moving clock advances on a score of 4+ or 5+, and when it does, it advances by 1/3, 112, or occasionally, even a full hour. This all lends uncertainty to the length of the scenario and gives the players a need to get on with their missions, in a.game taking piace in a rainstorm, overall activity levols ‘might be very low due to the lousy weather. A moving clock that advances an hour on a roll of 3+ oF 4+ on one die might represent the passage of time in such a situation. On ‘ther hand, in an intense fire fight in good weather, the mov- ing clock might advance only a quarter hour on the rll of 5+ ‘on one die. The moving clock allows the scenario designer to vary the overall intensity and pace of the scenario. Special Rule 5 ~ Bogging Down 5.0. Vehicles get stuck in all sorts of terrain. This rule presents the general cas fo alow ti, Scanaros speciy ‘which terrain features may cause bogging down. 5.1. Cast one die for a vehicle when it attempts to move into or across the speciied terrain feature, bogging down when the bog-down number or less is rolled. 5.2 Bogged down vehicles may not move, though their weapons may fre and their turrets (f present) may turn 5.3 Antivehicular fire at a bogged down vehicle is made with a +1 modifier to the firers accuracy number, due 1 the Stationary nature of the target. 5.4 Vehicles may, once per friendly initiative phase, antempt to foe themeches, ring the spectied unboaging ‘umber or higher on one Gia fo succeed, olin low enough ‘then afemping to unbog may tesut in the vice becom ing permanently mired or st 5.5.

Scenarios wil Speaty which mortars are avaiable for direct fre, and under what circumstances. 6.1 Onboard mortars may move or fire during an initia- tive phase, but not both. 62.

Terrain Key ‘These maps were drawn with one-foot gridines and are to scale. The four by four Ponyri map, for example, can be directly transferred to the gaming table using four inch ‘square building modules and one foot square map grids. ‘The terrain kay found elsewhere in this section clearly iden tiles the various types of terrain discussed, Buildings Unless noted otherwise in a given scenario, contiguous Clusters of three or more buildings constitute building com plexes, The schoo! in Ponyri (Scenario 6) is a building com plex.

Other buildings, e.g., on Scottish Corridor (Scenario 12), stand alone — in a more rural setting this simply looked nicer. Either way works, however ~ you can Set up any of the urban scenarios using whatever build: ings you have on-hand, ural Features We took a few liberties with the basic CROSSFIRE te rain types with our scenarios, but were sure to fully describe the few changes we made each time they occurred in a sce- nario. Fock Fields and Boulder Fields function exactly tke rough and wooded terrain, respectively. 0 why did we put {ham on tho maps? Wo did t because they look good and ‘add. atmosphere to the scenaries using’ them, Cassino Massit (Scenario 8) and Monte Aituzz0 (Scenario 14) just wouldn't portray the mountains of central Raly it we used generic rough and wooded terrain features. (Our Orchards function as either wooded or rough terrain, depending on whether they're in season or out of season: We included them instead of generic woods and rough ter- rain because orchards represent cultivated trees, look bet ter that way on the map, and would have been unbearably complicated otherwise to exolain. We can now simply state that the orchards are "in" or ‘out’ of season and have the fol lowing characteristics. Our Fields also may be in or out of season. We allow LOS through out-of-season fields instead of just re-desig- nating them as rough terrain because the fields, which did ‘not offer overhead protection when they were growing, cer- tainly would not offer that protection after they'd been cut (Ghat is, as rough terrain does)! This is actually a functional addition to the variety of terrain types in CROSSFIRE. Contour Lines You've probably noticed that our maps have ‘contour ines on them. Wy? The ‘main reason is that they look good, both on the maps and on the game table. IY your terrain system or your inctina- tions ‘end themselves to using contour lines in your games, they add eye-pleasir variety “and depth’ tothe tabletop_an Fields iop require only three notes in order to be | 2% incorporated into game play: 1. Astand that is at a given contour level, or height, can see over hedges and ‘resis at lower levels, as well as see into depressions (CROSSFIRE 4.4) at lower levels. Hedges stil provide cover, against fire rom a higher contour, to stands behind land adjacent to them, but crests do not. Orchard Rough 2. Contour lines do not biock LOS in any way except whan the LOS crosses two contour lines whose “Teath’ face way from one another, 6g, 3 across the saddle inthe north east comer of the Scottish Corridor map. 3 Direct fire from a higher contour does not count as ‘overhead fire, $0 fields stil provide cover against such fre HY you don't ike, or if your terrain system does not lend itself easily to using contour lines, simply ignore them. Be Careful not to ignore any ciffs, though.

Incidentally, the Monte Altuzz0 map in this book only retains about 30 per ‘cent of the contours originally appearing on the play test tabletop! Depressions (Our main concession to simplicity in our scenario design was to keep terrain features eithor inside or outside of a depression. This simplifies LOS issues immensely. The only terrain features that, when placed inside depressions, do block ground-level LOS, are wooded areas. In keeping with our treatment of contours and crest lines, we also allow stands that touch the top of a depression to See into the Gepressin in the same way a stand ona hil Man-made Features Bridges block LOS regardless of how the LOS crosses the bridge, We treat the crown of the bridge as a crest (see ‘Special Rule 2, Crests) running at right angles to the trafic lanes. Roads ~ why? We like them. Occasionally, too, offroad movement is so bog-prone that roads, even though they don't speed movement up, are preferred because at least vehicles don’t normally bog down on them.
