The return of Ambush Alley rule set

The team over at Ambush Alley games have announced the return of their original set of rules, Ambush Alley.

I'm interested to see what they do with the rules as while the Force on Force rules are a lot of fun, they do have a high learning curve. 

I like their approach to not trying to ditch the current set of FoF rules and expansions like other vendors do.

FoF is one of those games that I want to play more of, just never get the time to do it.....

From the Ambush Alley site

When we followed Ambush Alley  up with the first edition of Force on Force in 2008, we expanded the scope of the game to larger, more conventional battlefields. Little did we know that book would attract the attention of Osprey Publishing and make Force on Force our major focus for nearly four years. After publishing a 2nd edition of FoF and eight companion books behind, we found ourselves nostalgic for the tighter scope of Ambush Alley
What's more, we've learned a lot in the past eight years (you guys are good teachers), and we really wanted to apply those lessons without gutting Force on Force. We're well aware that many of you have sunk a lot of your hard earned cash in FoF and its eight companion books and we really didn't feel right about putting out a new edition - it wouldn't have been a money grab, but it sure might have looked like one to some folks. We pride ourselves on being a game company run by gamers for gamers, so the last thing we want is to look like we're falling into some sort of planned obsolescence based version release strategy. We decided it would be a much better idea to kill two birds with one stone by putting out a new version of our much loved Ambush Alley  rules that incorporates the lessons we've learned in the "FoF years."

The Arms Dealer

Every milita needs a arms dealer and here he is with some of the latest weapons for their selection.





"Company" transport

"Company" contractors or executives need appropriate transport and the 4x4 is it. Perfectly suitable to stash arms/money/prisoners in the back.

Force on Force released

Ambush Alley Games have released their new version of Force on Force. This is their first game to be published with Osprey. Looks like Osprey is starting to get into the wargaming publishing business as they have done a great job with Field of Glory.

Force on Force now combines the old Force on Force and Ambush Alley.

I'm looking forward to picking it up as a PDF soon. I reckon I'll buy the printed copy as well as it does look really good.

Top game, lots of fun.

AH-64

And now, time for some gun ship support. Time to reach out and touch someone!

Load me up a hellfire round

Mi-24 Hind

And now, something for the insurgents/soviet based armies.

It's a great looking model and very imposing


F-15 Eagle v2

The last of my airsupport for Ambush Alley.

Not my favorite of aircraft, but it's still nice to have options. :-)

F-16 Falcon v2

More airsupport for the Nato troops.

Bit excessive, but it was cheap on ebay. I've always liked this airplane, it just looks cool

F-14 Tomcat

Airsupport for the marines and NATO forces.

It's a really nice model

Mr Big

Mr Big, the notorious evil master mind has been spotted in Ambush Alley or Ambush Alley Z!

Someone for the special forces to come in and capture

Force on Force out soon

Ambush Alley games are releasing the new version of Force on Force and Ambush Alley as part of their publishing deal with Osprey. It's due in late April and should be good. The rules have been tightened up and clarified.

Not sure if I will pick them up straight away as I'm pretty happy with the current version. I picked up all the expansions as part of the SOG membership with AAG,so happy with that.

Foreign legion for AA

There are just soo many nice 15mm modern figures that I couldn't just do the yanks. So, next army off the ranks is the French Foreign Legion.

















Vehicles for AA

Managed to pick up a bunch of vehicles for Ambush Alley. Some of these are going to be converted to technicals for my insurgents.


















Apache for AA

More air support for AA









Harrier jet for AA

Here's a pic of a 15mm harrier that I picked up for Ambush Alley.

It's always good to have a bit of air support.

I bought the wrong models and got the larger troop carrier ones. Whoops, still, the look good





15mm Bradley

Here's a picture of my new Bradley for my marines in ambush Alley. It's from Peter Pig and I think that it came put quite good
