It was released under Avalon s Victory Games label and was developed by Eric Lee Smith and John Butterfield. In 1984, Ambush won the Origins Award for Best 20th Century Boardgame of 1983 . It has been out of print since Avalon Hill was disbanded in 1998. Ambush was innovative when it was released in 1983 since it was exclusively designed for single player play. Up to that point, wargames generally required at least two players. This was necessary since a player always had to play and control the opponent. Ambush solved this problem by having the game scenario itself control the opponent. It accomplished this via tables, charts and a paragraph book which the player referred to see how the opponent was reacting. Having the scenario dictate the actions of the opponent had another advantage perfectly hiding the enemy. In all previous board based wargames, Chit board ... where likely areas for the enemy were.

Dueling tanks was a theme familiar to owners of the Atari 2600 since Combat video game Combat , the game packaged with nearly every Atari 2600 system, had a very similar premise. However, Armor Ambush expands upon the simple battles available to players of Combat . The field of battle occupies a region greater than the size of the screen.

The Pickardstown Ambush , an action in the Irish War of Independence , took place near the town of Tramore County Waterford on the night of 6 January 1921. The ambush was conceived by Paddy Paul, the leader of the IRA East Waterford Brigade, who gathered Volunteers from the local Dunhill and Waterford City units of his command, as well as the West Waterford flying column led by George Lennon . This made for a total of fifty men although several were armed only with shotguns. An attack was made on the RIC barracks in the town, and the British military garrison in Waterford City quickly dispatched forty troops in four Crossley tenders. However the ambush had been badly planned with the result that the British troops were able to make a determined counterattack, ultimately killing two IRA men and wounding two more. One British soldier and one Black and Tan were wounded. A memorial was later erected on the ambush site. http www.waterfordcountyimages.org exhibit web DisplayWAIImage K0Jforwardslash3MlF2gYNc http www.flickr.com photos feargal 3762561364 In later years, local Gaelic Athletic Association GAA fields were named after the two dead IRA men. http homepage.eircom.net tramoregaa history.htm http www.claneire.com connected default.asp?com dfba&org dgaa&id 10&mnu 10 Sources Rebel Heart George Lennon Flying Column Commander Mercier 2009, ISBN 1856356493 British Voices From the Irish War of Independence 1918 1921 Collins Press 2007 ISBN 1905172370 Category Irish War of Independence Category History of County Waterford Category British Army in the Irish War of Independence ... more details
