You may attempt to take your turn ahead of another player if you can prepare an ambush.  To prepare an ambush your character, powersuit, or mech must, at the start of the turn, be absolutely hidden from the person you plan to ambush.  Nexteach of you must roll to see if the ambush was successful, using the formula AMBUSHER [Intelligence stat + 3 + 1d10] vs. AMBUSHEE [Intelligence stat + Notice Skill + 1d10].

If the Ambusher has a higher score than the Ambushee, then the Ambusher may move first.  However, if you ambush another person, that person is the ONLY TARGET that you may attack that turn.
