Modern Warfare on your Tabletop - Ambush Alley

Polymythic Steve (not to be confused with this Steve) has clued me into a pretty sweet miniatures game called Ambush Alley.  Basically, the game is an in-your-face, down and dirty modern skirmish rule set (think "Black Hawk Down" with minis).  You can read more about it at their About Us page.  I haven't played it yet, but I am eager to and will when I visit him next month.

Steve submitted a scenario for Ambush Alley's "To the Last Round" contest.  You can check out his submission ("...Because We Got Intel Saying") and its sweet layout here: link.  You can also see him smack himself in the head with a jump rope here: link.

He created the scenery and painted the minis himself. Here are some of my favorite shots:




Some Images to Go with Your "What Polyhedral Die Are You?" Results

Okay, I should have worked out some kind of kick-back deal with Dicepool.com, because every frickin' gamer blog out there participated in their "What Polyhedral Die Are You?" quiz after I posted it.  


(I'm sure the fact that Jeff Rients did the quiz had nothing to do with that.  I mean, who reads his blog? Oh yeah, everybody that owns a d20.)


Dave the Knave noticed some rather appropriate images by Lee Bretschneider on Flickr shortly thereafter (you can also find them at Lee's Adventuring Company site). Be forewarned, a few of his images are artistically NSFW.
