I decided to order from MJ Figures and I'm hoping they come through with the goods- I do like their figures...did look seriously at Pendraken 10mm Falklands extensive range and I concluded that I was better with 15mm as I am not too confident of being able to paint the British camo in 10mm. Thanks for the tip on CWC. Regards. KEV.KEV.

Crossfire is quite unique in design (No fixed moves, no rulers etc.) so isn’t to everyone’s cup of tea. Another to consider is Force on Force – the rule book actually includes a Falklands Scenario – Top Malo House.<br /><br />CWC is out of print, but you can download it from Lulu or they come up on ebay from time to time.<br /><br />MJFigures are notorious for being hard to track down! The range has been sold a couple of times since they first appeared and I believe it’s a guy in N. Ireland who now markets them. I’m sorry but I haven’t a phone number for them, but BattleStudios take the range to trade shows and may be able to help – their mobile is 07785939885.<br /><br />To be honest, if I were starting again I’d go with the new(ish) 10mm Falklands range from Pendraken. Their figures are superb and the range is far more extensive!TimsTankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755019237122759263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202950016349004277.post-16150305086383558082016-06-22T10:45:53.509+01:002016-06-22T10:45:53.509+01:00Thankyou Tim.

The WW2 Crossfire rules I'd imagine are simular to 'Rapid Fire' and work well with Modern Periods. I have not had a game in ages and was thinking of writing my own rules for the Falklands to Solo Games...I should take a look at Cold war Commander. Regards. KEV.<br />p.s., Do you have a current Phone Number for MJ Miniatures? - they do not seem to want to answer e-mails.KEV.

These provide a good (if slightly abstracted) game. The rule book includes army lists for the period and there are also some good scenarios and AARs on line - i.e for Mt Longdon.<br />Since then I've been introduced to Crossfire Rules and whilst these are written for WW2 the principle of their mechanics would be excellent for Falklands battles.TimsTankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755019237122759263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202950016349004277.post-40780220770109525452016-06-21T07:04:46.576+01:002016-06-21T07:04:46.576+01:00Thanks Tim for the information on the Base sizes- ...Thanks Tim for the information on the Base sizes- this will come in very handy for me when the figures arrive and building structures such as buildings. Yes, I have seen your excellent post on the Falklands buildings- the paper models turned out a treat- your buildings do inspire. One last question Tim- what are the Rules you favour for your 15mm Falklands games? I'd be very interested to know this. Regards. KEV. KEV.

Command bases are 30 x 30mm and single figures (I.e. Sniper) 20 x 20mm.TimsTankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755019237122759263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202950016349004277.post-72686063390877372422016-06-21T03:32:24.697+01:002016-06-21T03:32:24.697+01:00Hi Tim- Excellent Falklands 15mm- superb painting ...Hi Tim- Excellent Falklands 15mm- superb painting and presentation. So impressed by what you have achieved I've placed an order for the MJ Figures- if they turn out half as good as yours I will be most happy.
