When the guys over at Ambush Alley Games sent me a copy of their new game, Ambush Z, I was initially sceptical. Not at the quality of the product. Having read, reviewed, and loved, the original Ambush Alley game, I knew this would be a quality publication. However, I had to wonder if throwing a few zombie rules into Ambush Alley really warranted a full new game and the $20 sticker price?

In an industry that cranks out new, slick-looking rules-sets faster than most people’s pay checks can handle, few wargames are as interesting, clever, and seemingly less-likely to succeed than Ambush Alley.

I’m now back from Historicon after an intensive four days of chatting on the stand, viewing games, presentations, yueng-ling beer and more chatting.

Those of you who have been to Historicon for the past three years will already have a t-shirt with Osprey artwork sitting in their drawer for very special occasion. But for those of you who haven’t we have been talking to Legacy of Valor, the collectibles people, about a new special clothing line. They have sent over some samples which several people in the office got very excited over...

The plotline is a bit slow, with several long passages about the necessity of self-sacrifice in a civil, democratic society, but these were not unpleasurable and I very much appreciated the force of Heinlein's argument...

I love the Dambusters film. And this clip suggests that Peter Jackson is getting closer to filming a remake. Which could be great...like the Lord of the Rings. Or not so great - like King Kong. Fingers crossed he doesn't mess it up because he has a lot to live up to here...

For those of you who don't know, and it can't be many, ANZAC day celebrates the incredible bravery and sacrifice that the Australian and New Zealand Forces made in World War I, in particular at the bloody horror that was Gallipoli...
