I would argue that you can see over them when at a higher elevation. In BKC terms I think they should be treated as linear terrain that blocks LOS as well as providing cover when right against them. I like the idea though because it allows you to have undulations in the ground with little effort. Dick’s drawings are also pretty clear, but I did want to discuss a couple items. THE TERRAIN The terrain is built for gaming with Crossfire, but I found in my test that it worked fine for BKC. Therefore, if you need to use a CO command you could measure from that point to determine how far away the unit is to the command stand. You could designate a point on one of the edges of your board and use it as a command point that never moves throughout your game. Remember, you are depicting a small section of a larger battlefield. THE ARMIES - ATTACKER Attacker - German Heer - Tactical Doctrine: Flexible #Īnother option, you could take out the COs from both armies. Defender - British Airborne - Tactical Doctrine: Flexible # I also added some optional equipment if you want to introduce armor and guns. I did switch it up one time and had the British attack (using Crossfire) and they were successful, YMMV. I chose to go with British Airborne defending and German Heer attacking. THE ARMIES - DEFENDER You can use any forces you have from your collection. crossfire Steven Thomas’ well put together modifications and historical context he put together for a convention - Steven Thomas’ Terrain needed for 2x2 scenarios - what-terrain-will-you-need-for-dick-bryants-six-small-crossfire-scenarios Pendraken - Publisher of Blitzkrieg Commander IV where you can buy the rules and minis as well as join their forums - blitzkrieg-commander/ Pendraken - They also create starter packs if you’re starting out - .uk/world-war-ii/bkc-iv-starter-packs/ My blog (rarely used) - My YouTube channel, where I spend most of my time Blitzkrieg Commander Fan Group - 966826603419493/ He’s got resources galore for other games as well.

Todd Reed aka ItinerantHobbyist aka The Robe 2020 St Louis, MO If anyone charged you for this document, they are bad people and you should report them to your local Jedi Council. Thank you to all the creators for letting me use their content to steal and mix up to create this document. Finally, when I played them I put it into the context of D-Day and the 6th Airborne defending against German counterattacks. Once you have the army you now have 6 scenarios with which you can use them. Of course, the armies stay the same board to board. I’ve played 3 of the scenarios using Crossfire and it only took an hour to set up each board and put together the armies. is finding small scenarios that encourage the use of small armies and little terrain. One thing that is tough when trying new rules, new era etc. It played so well that I decided to jump in and create this document. I’ve only play tested one of these using BKC IV. I am using lists I built from their army lists. While I play in 15mm, I have painted a few of their 10mms and they are fantastic and would recommend to anyone wanting to play in that scale. It’s now in the hands of Pendraken and they are, fortunately, keeping the game alive. Of course, there is Blitzkrieg Commander itself. The table design drawings and photos are all Dick Bryant’s work and used with his permission. In addition Steve created great lists of terrain needed. He then referred me to Steven Thomas’s incredible resource site, Steve’s Balagan for changes and updates. He originally created them to use with Arty Conliffe’s Crossfire game, thus the abundance of terrain.
