Force on Force: Modern Wargaming Rules

About this board game

Force on Force: Modern Wargaming Rules is a stand-alone modern wargaming game for two players, with sessions designed to last about 60 minutes.

Released in 2009, it serves as a companion to Ambush Alley! A Game of Modern Urban Combat. While Ambush Alley! focuses on asymmetrical battles between organized military units and guerrilla or irregular forces, Force on Force broadens the kinds of engagements the rules can support.

The game is built for scenarios involving forces with similar organization and capabilities. This makes it suitable for engagements where opposing forces are more evenly matched, while retaining the flexibility needed for situations that do not fit a single battlefield profile.

Force on Force also provides rules for mixed engagements. These scenarios can include forces containing both regular and irregular troops, allowing different types of units to appear together within the same engagement.

• Stand-alone rules for modern wargaming
• Scenarios involving forces of similar organization and capabilities
• Support for engagements combining regular and irregular troops
• A companion game to Ambush Alley!

With its focus on modern engagements and varied force compositions, Force on Force offers a dedicated framework for exploring battles beyond the asymmetrical encounters emphasized by its companion game. Its two-player format and approximately one-hour play time provide a focused way to experience these scenarios.

Whether the opposing forces are similarly organized or include a mixture of regular and irregular troops, Force on Force: Modern Wargaming Rules is designed to support the engagement at the heart of the scenario.
