"Ambush Valley is the third supplement for the Force on Force rules for modern warfare, which were published in 2011, and is actually the second edition of this supplement – the first being solely published by Ambush Alley games in 2009.

The book is split into 8 main sections:

The introduction starts with a brief introduction to the rules, and a selection of miniature manufacturers for various scales (Although in 28mm, one of the best figure ranges: Baker Company, is strangely absent)…"

Many of the Unit organizations presented in this edition had not in fact been published before. Anywhere….the number of scenarios and other content was reduced as a result…IMHO this was one of the best books in the osprey series.

Coulda done with more scenarios though to be fair…

But that's with hindsight, which is a wonderful thing.

Yep. I agree – we'll fix that at some point. ;)

So cough up some more scenarios!

In reading the article I would agree that Vietnam specific campaign rules would have been a welcome addition.

Add them to the next edition or (based on demand) add a Tour of Duty book with both campaign rule additions and 12 new scenarios.

Tour of Duty! With soundtrack……

With the original soundtrack (not the one on the DVD). License issue.

I'm actually looking for a copy of the 1st edition, with the campaign rules. Unless AAG decides to release the campaign/Tour of Duty rules as a pdf addendum/errata to the 2nd edition before I find one that is…

I just can't get behind a Vietnam supplement (or really any period supplement for most games) that doesn't cover campaigns.

I'll try to get the original campaign rules for AV up on our site this weekend.

Best,

Shawn.
