GASLANDS! Post apocalyptic vehicular mayhem!!!

I loved Dark-Future from Games Workshop, I just never really got anyone to play it with me more than a couple of times. There are rumblings that GW may bring this back in some form or other. If they do I hope they do the models of the cars and the gang figures like they used to, because I will use them for GASLANDS!

The minifigures for Dark Future were I think 20mm and sized perfectly to match up with your Hot-wheels cars decked out for terrorizing the wasteland highways.

They made really cool sets of weapons etc. that you could glue to cars and deck them out with armaments.

the minis

Steve Jackson's Car Wars never did it for me as a game. I loved the background material though and loved reading about it.

I will say that if you can get your hands on the Dark Future novels, those were awesome reads!! SO many great ideas we gleefully ripped off and used in our own Mad-Max/Gamma World games. Good Times!!

All the Jack Yeovil books were great, and man was there a crazy combination of stuff in those books! Comeback Tour was my favorite as you followed an aging Elvis trolling the badlands in his decked out combat car! Wella-wella-HUH!

Anyways, this all comes full circle because I recently ordered GASLANDS! from Osprey books. This game does all the stuff I liked in those other two games but SO much easier!! There is a great community on Facebook and tons of videos on Youtube of guys showing off their car-mods and how-to's on playing the game itself.

Needless to say I have already fallen down the rabbit-hole and purchased 5 Hot-wheels cars to start my own bad-ass road wrecking crew with!

Keep your eye on this spot and you will be privy to Eroc's Wasteland Garage as the construction begins!
