Got to play two back to back games that featured Car-Nage!!
The first game drew me in with a very appealing table on a printed commercial map called "The Junk Yard." The rules were GASLAND.
The two images show my cars that I picked to drive in the game. There was some objective markers that were added to the map and we were to drive over them and "arcade style" pick them up and add the weapon system to our car instantly and get to utilize them in the game.
The big picture.
I liked the layout and the vehicles a lot and thought the movement templates were a good idea. I did not like the rules. My car did not move over 12" in the entire event. I did get to shoot the weapons and involve myself in some of the mayhem but it was not a satisfying game if I were to be driving a car.
Here is another vehicle from the game. Super cool and enticing but I will not become a Gasland gamer.
AXLES AND ALLOYS
This is the second game I played and I have a lot of experience with this one so I am a little biased.
In this tabletop smash 'em up car game I got to drive a super fast car with a machine gun on top. I drove in a series of turns that appeared to be a car driving an obstacle course. Many many feet of distance were covered on the table.
I do like this game and will continue to play. I do not like the loss of control rules in this game and if I ever umpired a game would make several changes to the rules.
1. Movement templates.
2. Cars mounted to 1.5 x 3" cardstock.
3. Better reaction to loss of control direction die.
4. Better Chance to hit based on comparative speed not just speed.
Axles and Alloys is the better game for me.
Sorry you didn't like Gaslands; it's pretty popular among our gaming group. The thing about movement, you have to keep upshifting to keep moving, as each turn vehicles activate according to their current gear--so if you never shift out of 1st, you will be left behind while the other vehicles get to activate again in 2nd, 3rd, etc.

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like high-octane post-apocalyptic vehicular combat, and Gaslands plays so well on a custom table layout like "The Junk Yard"! Custom terrain and printed mats make all the tactical maneuvers and head-on collisions feel that much more cinematic. When I'm taking a break from reading wargaming battle reports and tabletop blogs, I usually drop by latest Xuper TV APK on my phone to check out live broadcast channels. Awesome recap of the match!
ReplyDeleteGaslands is an absolute blast of a game system—the skid dice and movement templates bring so much chaotic fun to the table! Playing back-to-back games in a cluttered junk yard setting really pushes drivers to take risky turns and cause maximum wreckage. On quiet evenings after checking out wargaming blogs on my tablet, I like to relax on the couch with Xuper TV new update on my device to watch live broadcasts. Thanks for sharing this exciting write-up!
ReplyDelete"The Junk Yard" sounds like the ultimate backdrop for a Gaslands derby! Having tight corners, narrow passages between scrap piles, and debris obstacles always guarantees plenty of wipeouts and explosive car-nage. Whenever I'm taking a breather from reading tabletop battle reports and miniature hobby posts, I usually log into Xuper TV media player on my computer to stream live media networks. Looking forward to hearing how the second game played out!
ReplyDeleteBack-to-back games of Gaslands on a great-looking mat is the perfect way to spend a gaming session! The unpredictable shifts in momentum during skid checks keep every player on the edge of their seat right until the finish line. Sitting back in the evening to tune into live streams using Xuper TV version 6.5.0 is my favorite way to unwind after a day at the gaming table. Great write-up on the action!
