Ambush Alley: Fast, Edge of Your Seat Action in the Urban Battlefields of the 21st Century!

Ambush Alley is a modern miniature wargame that allows players to recreate the intense counter-insurgency actions in an urban environment that have become the hallmark of 21st century warfare. The rules revolve around a universal mechanic that is easy to grasp but supports a high level of detail and rewards sound tactical play. The game's dynamic turn sequence captures the turmoil of the modern city fight and integrated "fog of war" keeps things chaotic and unpredictable!

Ambush Alley contains complete rules for all the key elements of modern counter-insurgency and street-fighting, including:

• Civilians on the Battlefield
• Full Vehicle Rules
• Special Assets and Off-Board Support
• Night Fighting
• UAVs
• IEDs & VBIEDs
• Building Clearing and MUCH MORE!

Ambush Alley includes five scenarios and sample organizational charts for US, British, and Australian forces. The game can be played at any scale from 15mm up. 15mm scenarios call for a 2'x2' table, while 28mm games only require a 4'x4' table. Ambush Alley is easy on the pocketbook where miniatures are concerned. Few scenarios require more than ten figures for the Regular force and a dozen or so for the Insurgents. Ambush Alley also offers full solo-play rules, so players can still have fun pushing their figures around the table even when a flesh and blood opponent isn't available!

While Ambush Alley focused on asymmetrical warfare and counter-insurgency in the modern era, Force on Force takes a look at the other face of modern warfare: Symmetrical, kinetic engagements between professional forces (or, more precisely, equivalent forces). Force on Force fuses familiar Ambush Alley mechanics with extensive new systems to provide an ideal solution for your modern gaming needs. The rules cover all aspects of modern warfare from the confidence and supply level of troops to air-strikes and off-board artillery and incorporate tailored mechanics that allow the same rule-set to accommodate scenarios set in World War Two or the conflicts on today's news without sacrificing either flavor or playability. Force on Force can ably handle scenarios set in conflicts from 1900 to the near future.

Force on Force is perfect bound between glossy, full color covers and includes full color illustrations throughout. If you like inspirational eye-candy with your rules, our in-house miniature artist Piers Brand and many talented contributors have all delivered for you. Five TO&Es are included for both modern and WWII forces along with three WWII scenarios, 3 modern Iraq and Afghanistan scenarios, and one "Cold War gone hot" scenario set in 80's Germany. Stats for common modern and WWII AFVs and aircraft are included along with two full sets of Fog of War and Asset Cards - one for WWII, one for modern games. All in all, Force on Force has roughly twice the content of our previous major rule release, Ambush Alley.

Ambush Z is a stand-alone game that brings Ambush Alley's swift but nuanced style of play to the classic horror/survival genre. Although a background setting is provided, the rules are generic enough for any zombie setting! Included are all the rules you need to play and descriptions of four different "species" of zombies, including the deadly Dexter whose semi-sentience and psychic powers make it a lethal opponent indeed!

Ambush Z also delivers five fiendish scenarios!
