I played Crossfire nearly twenty years ago at ConnectiCon '05 and picked up the rulebooks shortly after. They've sat on my shelf since then, until earlier this year when I cracked them open after re-watching some Little Wars TV. Since I had the Americans painted I thought I'd try some sabot bases like I did for my ancients in order to double dip them with Crossfire.

I still need to flock everything. Maybe one of these days I'll put my order in to Scenic Express and get the flocks I'm after to match my mat. In the meantime though they might see some action at our monthly games day in a Crossfire trial with Karl, Destroyer of Breadsticks.

I finished up another 42 15mm Americans this week, effectively doubling what I had painted.

Joining the platoon is another 20 riflemen, 4 NCOs, 2 Bazooka teams, a 50 Cal team, 3 BARs and some COs.

I still have a few support options for Chain of Command that I want to finish up, as well as figure out how I'm going to convert a flamethrower team.

I started building M3 Halftracks at the start of the month and got most of the way through with them before I lost interest two weeks ago. I'll head back and finish them at somepoint but in the meantime I've been painting for riflemen to fill out the platoon and also built a paratrooper platoon on the whim.

The greens are done as of this week, and I've started in on the leather and wood. After that's done it'll be the skin, metal and bases.

I finished up the last of the infantry I have this week. 40 figures in two weeks is a pretty good output for me. I also went back and painted the leather straps where I saw them over the brim of the helmets as I missed them the first time around. Next are the half-tracks and an M10, then on to something else while I wait for re-supply.

I finished up the second batch of 15mm American Rifleman tonight. After the NCOs and 30 cal teams are done next week I hope to get to the halftracks and an M10.

I finished up the Bazooka and 60mm Mortar teams last night. I've got 10 more infantry, the 30 cal teams and the NCOs left.

It's been a slow, cold and rainy/snowy MLK Jr. weekend so I've kept on painting the riflemen. One quarter of the way through them at this point.

I've had these Flames of War models sitting around for a few years now. With some talk of 15mm Konflikt '47 about I thought I'd sneak one onto the desk last night and see how they paint up. Handily, he'll be able to pull double duty in some Chain of Commands games as well. I went for late war, so M43 uniform.
