I was thinking shouldn't there be more of a benefit to ambushes? Either a plus in a combat in the impact phase or a kab test first time shot at or contacted by previously unseen ambushers.
The very essence of an ambush is to have an unseen advantage over your victim, but there isn't one and no-one really bothers with them much.

Personally I think they are more appropriate to scenario games and am not a fan of them for competition games.  A hangover from DBM...

In scenario games they might cause KaB tests...

I think the current rules are OK for comp types games, an ambush can give you some advantage but (usually) nothing too major. Agree that in scenario games something more meaty could be applied.
