These are some shots of the original Crossfire demonstration game - the "Race for the Reichstag"!
This scenario is included in the 'Hit The Dirt' scenario book - it's the last scenario, and now you too can play the very original Crossfire Scenario that was used to demonstrate the rules when first published in 1996.

This is an
overview of downtown Berlin c.1945 after, Bomber Command and the 8th
Air force have done some re-modelling. As modelled by Chris Leach. You
are looking at the park to the left and, the Brandenburg Gate at the
centre, with the Reichstag in the background. Knocked out German
vehicles litter the streets. The Soviet Shock troops are massing in
the burnt out buildings in the foreground.
A low angle
shot of the same turn. The Red Army squad in the park are in cover in
the green areas. But, in order to "rush" to the next piece of cover,
they must first expose themselves to the withering German fire.
Several turns
later. The Soviet assaults have successfully made it into the park
and, an IS-II leading a SU-122 have made it to the foot of the
Brandenburg gate. An assault squad takes cover behind the burnt out
remains of a StuG III and a Tiger in the centre of the picture. Every
approach is swept by MG fire and snipers pick off the unwary.
The Russian
assault is already beginning to suffer as both lead tanks are
destroyed (cotton wool smoke billowing up). The tank-destroyer teams
of the Volksturm are roaming the rubble around the foot of the
Brandenburg Gate (centre). They are tearing the heart out of the
Russian attack but, at a terrible cost to themselves. Russian
casualties (just off the playing surface) are also mounting. It is
becoming a test of wills and a meat grinder of men. In the background
seated on the left is Arty Conliffe, beside him Malcolm Graham (one of
the "White Rock Wargamers").
