On Saturday, we tried out a game of Ambush Alley Games’<\/a> Tomorrow’s War<\/em><\/a> rules in 15mm using our buildings and vehicles and GZG<\/a> figures.<\/p>\n

\"AAR-0\"<\/p>\n

We tried two scenarios, a pilot rescue mission (from the rulebook) and a more ad-hoc meeting encounter between two forces mismatched in both size and technology level. With a large number of players (starting with seven then adding another later) we were lucky to have an umpire experienced with AAG’s Force-on-Force ruleset who helped the game flow smoothly.<\/p>\n

\"AAR-3\"<\/p>\n

The rules worked well, they modelled the differences between units with different levels of technology and ability well, and most importantly we had a lot of fun. <\/p>\n

\"AAR-2\"<\/p>\n

What was notable is that it was the first time I’d managed to get my Neu Celle 15mm buidings<\/a> on a table, albeit in a 90% finished state, and it also marked the combat debuts of the PacFed Wombat APC and Neo-Soviet Laska tankette. It has to be said that the PacFed vehicle fared rather better than it’s Soviet counter-part, which was turned into pile of smoking wreckage by a three-man Power Armour team armed with a missile launcher and chain gun.<\/p>\n

\"AAR-1\"<\/p>\n

So when can you buy these models ? We’ve had them on the table, and you’ll be able to soon – the first two PacFed vehicles, the Cougar MBT and Wombat APC, will be available this coming weekend – we’ll announce it here, on our mailing list and on as many other lists and news-sites as we can find as soon as they’re ready.<\/p>\n

\"AAR-4\"<\/p>\n
