Ambush Alley Games was founded in 2007 with the release of our first game, Ambush Alley. That little game packed a lot of punch and soon became a favorite for war-gamers interested in modern, asymmetric urban conflicts. We followed Ambush Alley up with Ambush Z, which pitted SpecOps teams against hordes of zombies, and Force on Force, which expanded the basic mechanisms of Ambush Alley onto the more traditional, kinetic battlefield.
The success of Force on Force attracted the attention of Osprey Publishing, who engaged with us to publish Osprey editions of both Force on Force and our science fiction rule set, Tomorrow's War (both of which were nominated for Origins Awards in 2011). In conjunction with Osprey, we published eight Force on Force source books covering modern theaters of war ranging from mid-century colonial wars in Africa to cutting edge Special Operations in the 21st century.
Today, Ambush Alley Games continues to support our existing games and is hard at work on new rule sets that will bring new eras and scales of gaming to our fans. As always, our sights are set on the future!

Hello, I am Allen Rockwell. I am the owner and operator of GameCraft Miniatures. When you place an order here, I'll be the one that oversees the making of your miniatures and often I'll be the one doing the actual work, and I am the person you will be dealing with when you write an email or call the shop.
GameCraft Miniatures is a company that has been a dream of mine for about 30 years. I started gaming with Micro Armor in the late 1970s with my friends in Lomita, California on a sand table in my friend Robert's back yard. I built a pretty impressive collection of 1/285th scale modern armor and aircraft; much of it heavily modified and even some pieces scratch built. Eventually, I graduated from 1/285th scale wargaming to full-scale wargaming when I joined the US Army in 1983. After returning from service in the Army I went to work as a Wind-Tunnel Model Maker for Northrop Aircraft in Hawthorne California. Since that time, I have moved around between a few companies as a professional model maker and eventually, along with a good friend, I ended up buying the company I was working for in the mid 1990's, A&M Model Makers. Many years later, I sold my portion of A&M Model Makers to my business partner and started working on my dream of creating GameCraft Miniatures. So, while it may seem that GameCraft simply sprung up out of nowhere on March 10th 2009, it's really been in the works for about 30 years.
I have my own Micro Armor blog which I maintain at www.allensmicroarmor.com If you are interested in 1/285th scale (6mm) gaming, you may find it interesting.
If you have any questions or comments or need any help at all on anything, please feel free to email me personally at allen@gcmini.com
GameCraft is my full-time job, and I'm always here for you. However, my shop schedule is opposite of most people as I work the "overnight" shift in the shop. So, reaching my phone is not always easy, but if you would rather call than email, you may do so on 865-985-0645, just please expect that you will probably be leaving a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
