FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

The photo's above show Russian figures from the recent Ambush Alley Ireland event. The models are from Britannia's 20mm range. The game was set in Afghanistan with the Russian paratroopers and mechanised infantry attacking a heavily defended Afghan village.

AMBUSH ALLEY IRELAND DAY

A few club members traveled to county Kildare this weekend to participate in the Ambush Alley Ireland day. We had a great day out, when I got home at 12pm that night howerever I did feel like the models above, shattered. A big thanks to Thomas, Cyril, Skip, Brian and Ruardhi of the Newbridge wargames club who hosted the event. Special thanks to Piers,Skip and Cyril for running the games.

Their were two Ambush Alley games, one set in Afghanistan, one in Iraq and a couple of demos of Ambush Valley (Vietnam version of Ambush Alley) at the event. It really was a fun day out, I hope to post a few picture's on the blog over the next week or two.

The guys in Kildare have a great forum which can be found at:

AMBUSH ALLEY

SOUNDS FAMILAR

I played my first game of Ambush Alley at the clubs monthly bash. Ambush Alley is a modern miniature wargame that allows players to recreate the intense counter-insurgency actions in an urban environment. It is a really enjoyable, fast paced game, with an intuitive easy to understand game mechanism. 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 accessible for those on a tight budget as few scenarios require more than ten figures for the Regular force and a dozen or so for the Insurgents.
