They happen in every game—unexpected attacks on unsuspecting heroes. Be it a gang of thugs jumping a group that’s wandered into the worst part of town or a band of sneaky goblins and their traps along a remote forest trail, ambushes are a staple of any properly sadistic Game Master’s bag of tricks. Ambushes are best when they’re unexpected, and now you’ll never be without maps for them, thanks to GameMastery Map Pack: Ambush Sites!
This line of gaming accessories provides simple and elegant tools for the busy Game Master. Inside, you’ll find 18 captivating 5" × 8" specially coated map tiles, allowing you to use wet-erase and dry-erase markers, then remove ink with ease!

Narrow Bridge
Cavern Corridor

I picked up three GameMastery Map Tiles sets last week - and this weekend, only one of them made an appearance on my gaming table - this one! The Ambush Map Pack is the perfect starter set for GM's looking to build their map collections as it comes with several alternate terrains.
This variety ensures that you have an encounter site for your game no matter what kind of terrain your PCs are currently traversing. Players working through a dungeon? No problem, just throw down the sewer encounter tiles and you're all set! Players making their way through an ancient forest, viola! Here are the tiles for the forest ambush!
It doesn't matter where you need an encounter - the ambush sites map pack has you covered!
Well the larger one looks like it could be used with the new City Streets Flip Mat on the blank side.
Cool!

EDIT: Looks like actually they can be used with the existing lines of a few of the maps....
Yes, they can. The goal of this set was to purposely make them work with existing environments, but not be a re-hash of them. Because that would be lame.
The colors of the woodland path and stone bridge match up best with the River Crossing flip mat and can make a nice extension to the side of the map with the fallen tree. Unfortunately, the Forest flip mat was printed darker so not as useful with that.
The sewers are a nice extension for last month's city flip mat, though the alley ambush only fits on the back of that.
