After reading through it a first time, I must say I am impressed! The scenarios look very good and so does all the background information and all the special rules.
And the package is just as pretty as the FoF book!

Thanks, Rutger!
I think Leigh did a knock out job on the writing, and Dixie is her usual artistic self as far as the layout of the book goes. I'm glad to hear you liked it, too!

For those of you who have looked through the Asset Cards, I think this is the 'sexy blonde Apache driver', though the Aussie girl isn't half bad either:

We only play Ambush Alley at this time. Are the scenarios in OPERATION: URUZGAN small enough to be compatible with Ambush Alley rules or are they specifically for the Force on Force system.
Thanks

They're small enough for AA - Just treat the Taliban as Insurgents. It will play a little differently, but should still make for a good game.

I am going to order it and Force on Force too. I already have the ambush Alley FOW cards - are they different from the force on Force modern FOW cards??
Thanks,
