Hi Ronan, what do you think of the force on force rules? Am tempted but the price is putting me off a bit.....

I really like them !
But they're very different from other rules. Some elements are "
abstract" and that's very surprising the first time !
.. but then it rolls on.
The authors themselves call it a "
game engine", as you can change many rules (even for a specific scenario).
- it's for a very fun and rapid game
- it's for me, I don't want to argue about the load of a rifle magazine
- you must not follow real tactics.. but in fact, if you don't do that : you loose ! ;) (I've been told some military schools used these rules..)
- it's not for people who want control on every side of their force
This game engine is roughly the same as Ambush Alley. I know there is an
Ambush Alley Quick Start for free : http://www.ambushalleygames.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quickstart.pdf (http://www.ambushalleygames.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quickstart.pdf)
Just give a try !
(by the way, Osprey will publish these rules. http://www.ospreypublishing.com/blog/ambush_alley__a_very_clever_wargame/ (http://www.ospreypublishing.com/blog/ambush_alley__a_very_clever_wargame/) )
As you understood, I like these rules (AA & FoF), so you may also ask someone who don't like them ! ;)
