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. Players are able to control two tanks and switch between them on command. The terrain is more diverse, featuring areas of foliage, water, and natural barriers. There is also a single player mode that allows a player to battle a computer controlled opponent.

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, killing two IRA men and wounding two more. One British soldier and one Black and Tan were wounded.

File Spider and fly April 2008 6.jpg thumb A female goldenrod crab spider Misumena vatia capturing a pair of mating flies. This species can change colour to match the flower. Ambush predators or sit and wait predators are carnivore carnivorous animals that capture prey by stealth or cunning, not by speed or necessarily by strength. These organisms usually hide motionless and wait for prey to come within striking distance. They are often camouflage d, and may be solitary. This mode of predation may be most efficient when a predator cannot move faster than its preferred prey otherwise, active hunting is more efficient. ref cite journal author Inon Scharf, Einat Nulman, Ofer Ovadia & Amos Bouskila year 2006 title Efficiency evaluation of two competing foraging modes under different conditions journal The American Naturalist volume 168 issue 3 pages 350 357 url http www.bgu.ac.il oferovad library Scharf06ForMod.pdf doi 10.1086 506921 ref Ambush predators include many fish , snakes , and other reptiles e.g. crocodile s , as well as some mammal s, bird s, and spider s.
