I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to our friend Cerberus, who sacrificed his original copy of the old edition of Day of the Rangers to secure Col. Danny McKnight's autograph for me and the AAG team. Col. McKnight led the ground column in Mogadishu on 3 October 93. His cool-headed leadership was dramatized on the big screen by Tom Sizemore in Black Hawk Down.

We're honored that Col. McKnight took the time to write such a kind message on the credits page of Day of the Rangers, AAG's treatment of Operation Gothic Serpent and are proud to share it with you below.

Ambush Alley Games takes players into the steaming jungles and razor-backed mountains of Vietnam in Ambush Valley, the latest companion book for Force on Force!

Clocking in at 176 pages, Ambush Valley is the largest Force on Force companion book yet. It contains all the special rules and vehicle stats necessary to bring warfare in Southeast Asia to life on your gaming table, along with six new scenarios. The meat of the book, however, is the exhaustive encyclopedia of unit organizations for the US, Republic of Vietnam, Australia, Republic of Korea, Kingdom of Thailand, Republic of the Philippines, Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Hmong, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. Much of the organizational information presented in this book has never been published before and some of it has only recently been declassified for public consumption!

As you may have gathered from the force list above, Ambush Valley doesn't restrict itself to Vietnam alone - force d
escriptions are provided to allow players to explore the not-so-secret wars in Laos and Cambodia.

It is our believe that Ambush Valley represents a stand-out publication for wargamers interested in the Vietnam conflict. No other book presents such a depth of information on forces involved in Vietnam. Ambush Valley is not just a companion book for Force on Force, it is a powerful resource for Vietnam gamers using any set of rules!
