Iron Cross first play

Tried Iron Cross rules today with Stephen.
A set I have had from publication but never used (one of many !).

We went for simple Meeting Engagement with 500pts per side as a straight forward learning set up.
I used Germans and Stephen fielded Russians (our 15mm kit).

Have to say I really enjoyed the rules, very much WW2-lite but also very fun set.
The Activation and Reaction system is very good giving a nice skirmish feel to game and fast play low complexity.

Some of the rules are not too well explained/fleshed out but nothing we could not work out/house rule.

For instance no Line Of Sight rules as such in the rules only few hints here and there but easy to work out re hidden, concealed or obstructed shots.

Very fun game and indeed we are going to have another try on Friday.

    1. Yes fun system simple but not simplistic. Great for a quick game at a about a reinforced Company Level. AFVs are individual, Infantry are Sections or Teams (1/2 Sections)
