You mention Crossfire in your question, and rightly so: it's a superb and rules light WWII wargame, possibly the most innovative for the period, and also one where the rules "go away" while you're playing.Īccording to one of the guys on the Crossfire facebook book, who claims Arty Conliffe - the author - is one of his closest friends, it's unlikely Crossfire will ever see a release in PDF format. It's really easy to learn and a ton of fun. It's based on the Commands & Colors system, which is *fantastic* if you're just getting started in wargaming, as you have a hand of card with different "activation" orders on it ("activate 3 units on your left flank" "activate 5 infantry squads" etc) which constrain the "choice-space" you have to make on any given turn. It's hex-based, and uses tiny plastic minis. Or if you want really, *really* easy to learn, Memoir '44 could be your jam. If you end up digging that, it's a pretty simple jump to minis. (there are also 2 "main" expansions and an "epic" expansion if you need more). Something like Band of Brothers has a relatively low rules overhead (virtually no tables) and comes with a ton of different scenarios in the base box that gradually increase in complexity. I'd maybe argue that before you dive into the (generally more expensive) world of miniature-based wargames, you try a squad-level hex-n-counter wargame to see if it's something your friends will also dig?
