  Ambush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ambush is a long established military tactic in which an ambushing force uses concealment to attack an enemy that passes its position.
An ambush predator is a creature who uses similar tactics to capture prey without the difficulty and wasted energy of a chase.
Ambush patrols will almost always have to be self-sufficient as re-supply would not be possible without compromising their covert position.

 IGUK Blog: Doom: The Board Game Review
Warcraft featured modular boards and different scenarios, which is quite a neat way of bringing the feel of numerous 'levels' from the computer to the table.
The game can be played by two to four players, with one player playing as the 'Invaders' (the bad guys) and one to three players playing as the marines (no prizes for guessing that they are the good guys).
It's recommended to any fan of the video game - despite not being as fast paced or frantic as a video game (something that is hard to translate to board game form), it does hit all of the right atmospheric beats, not to mention the aesthetic feel of the game.

 Army gets into game development business - June 3, 2002
Publishers say the average PC game typically costs between $2 million and $6 million dollars and "America's Army" will launch with two titles - "Soldiers", a role-playing game that lets you live boot camp life, and "Operations," a multi-player first-person shooter that, developers say, accurately reflects rules of engagement and squad teamwork.
The game will also be bundled with gaming magazines (most of which come with CD-Roms filled with game demos and patches).
Games carrying that rating are meant for players ages 13 and older and may contain violent content, mild or strong language, and/or suggestive themes.) Kills in "Operations" are depicted with a puff of red, followed by the enemy falling to the ground.

This game is basically a race game to develop you character faster than the opposing team.
Towards the end of the game, we were getting much better, since we didn't have to keep consulting our card to see what we could do, but it does seem a little overwhelming at first.
I was initially worried that this game would end up taking 4+ hours (and hence getting limited play), but it appears that we will be able to let it hit the table even if we don't have a whole afternoon for it.

Games like Suikoden are nice because they have Auto-Battle or, if you are strong enough, "Let Go", which basically lets the enemy run from you.
Many games provide some way of relief from enemy encounters (the Tales/Star Ocean games, BoF games, FF6, FF8, FFX, FFX-2); however, many or most of them are either only available very late in the game, or are limited in number and expensive in value.
That game let you avoid enemies entirely or stun them with an arrow or try to sneak up on them for a sneak attack.

 Game Reviews: Heavy Gear
As players complete missions, the game becomes progressively harder, with bigger challenges but also the opportunity for players to customize their Gears as they advance in rank and new weapons become available.
Gears can be built from the ground up, and players should save their games before making any final decisions (in other words, take a test drive with a new Gear before committing to it), since some of the weapons systems may not be the most advisable configuration for taking on an equally powerful enemy.
The game offers some nice diversity in the types of missions, including the typical scout, assault and ambush sequences seen in other mech games.

Lots of others still need to be tried in the coming weeks, though this is the time of year in my gaming calendar when a lot of older titles and favorites come out and everyone seems to be over the ‘new game buzz’ for now.
Wayfinder’s components are simple yet nice, and I particularly like the fact that the board is cushiony (like a mouse pad), because then the little stones don’t bounce out of their grid, dispensing with the need for pits.
I’d comment more here on games like Nacht der Magier, which is a very nice dexterity game, but that’s technically a 2005 game even though it’s not yet a year old in terms of publishing age.

Part of the challenge in translating a popular board game to the PC is keeping what people liked about the original, yet enhancing it enough to make it successful in the new setting.
Yet at the same time, if all you do is make an electronic version of the old game, you will probably not attract enough of a new audience to reach the next plateau of success.
