FoF "Grundausbildung". A little gift to my fellow German gamers.

I've been asked by a couple of users of German wargaming-related forums I frequently browse through, if I could do some example of Force On Force gameplay in German.
After I asked Shawn at AAG for permission (which I received), I spent the whole day with translating examples that Shawn himself had created. He used drawn maps to give gamers a better understanding of what was described in the text. I went for a more appealing approach and set up a gaming table and brought my miniatures to get some exciting pictures taken.

Here are a couple of the pics I used as an example:




The German version can be found here


Die deutsche Version der Beispiele für Force On Force Spielsituationen könnt ihr hier finden.



Ambush Alley Games recently has created a Wiki page that does include those example in their original English version. I do recommend to save that page in your favourites. There is more and more of free stuff for FoF gamers available and you'll always will find it there!

Beasts Of War reviews Force On Force core rules

Check it out: Beasts Of War have made a review on Force On Force

http://www.beastsofwar.com/spotlight/force-force-latest-modern-combat/

In my opinion they should have taken themselves more time to point out, what really makes FoF different compared to other games in a "modern" setting. Lots of details they could have gotten into but didn't.

At least they finally have found out it exists. :-)

WWII Special Rules from 1st Edition Force on Force

Published by Shawn Carpenter over at ambushalleygames.com
Friday 25 November 2011, 03:36

First Edition Force on Force included special rules for adapting the game for use with WWII scenarios. These sections were omitted from Second Edition (the “Osprey” edition), in which we chose to focus entirely on post-war, modern combat. We’ve received a constant stream of requests to post these rules up so that players with the new edition of the rules could also use them.

Well, here they are!

Here’s a couple of important caveats to bear in mind with the use of these rules:

1. These rules have not been modified in any way from their 1st Edition format. You may find that you need to make some modifications to use them with the 2nd Edition of the rules.

2. The rules presented here may or may not be carried over for use in an upcoming Ambush Alley Games WWII rule set.

With those comments aside, ENJOY!

A note from Andy Grubb (regarding Britannia and other stuff)

Hi guys, just passing on this message as I know quite a lot of you are waiting:

by Piers » 15 Sep 2011 12:49

Spoke to the Grubster last night...He wanted me to pass on a message to everyone, especially here on The Guild.

Firstly he wanted to pass on a big 'thanks' for everyones support and patience with him while he is sorting things out. He really appreciates it.Secondly, to those waiting for orders - He aint forgotten you! Everyones orders will get there he is working through the pile... and its a big pile!

I also wanted to say something myself. Having know Andy for, must be nearly 15 years since I first spoke to him at Wargamer in Aston many moons ago, he is one of the old cut of traders. The reason Dave wanted him to take on Britannia was that they were cut from the same cloth im my opinion. If you are waiting on stuff - You will get it. Andy is working through a backlog generated by an overwhelming response that he didnt expect to get, on top of a busy show schedule and sorting out all the Britannia stuff. To give you an idea of the scope of that, he still hasnt moved everything from Britannia and he still hasnt sorted all the moulds out! Andy wont mention it himself, but he has been working till 1am and 2am most nights trying to get everything done, sort out Britannia, cast and mould and attend shows... Oh and have a life too! Not too mention getting a second website finished! Anyway, I just wanted to pass that on and say he is still cracking on and its all going well. He still has alot of hard graft to do... but he is getting there. We also discussed the African Militia figures that Dave sculpted and sent me. Andy hasnt as yet found the mould for these, nor the other BAOR releases that Dave had ready just before he passed away. If the African mould dont turn up, I have offered my test-casts that Dave sent me to be used as masters. Hopefully that will work out. It would be nice tribute to Dave to get his unreleased work available for people to enjoy.
