Johnny Lauck has teamed up with Miles Holmes, the creator of Road Kill Ultimate Car Combat Game, to offer a NEW set of modular vehicles, scenery, weapons, and accessories cast in metal at N scale. Johnny is casting the figures, fulfilling orders, making the molds, and managing this kickstarter.

You will find the FREE 98 page revised core rules book and templates on the Kickstarter. Road Kill is a tabletop strategy game where horsepower meets firepower! Road Kill can be played in less than 1 hour with 2-5 gamers.

This Kickstarter runs from September 1st to October 17th, 2015 with the first wave of shipments will start heading out on November 17th 2015. Johnny’s new policy is to ship the highest dollar pledges first.

Backed! looks great and nice scale. Will these be available after as well?
-
They will be available from InfinityGate the Canadian creator after I have fulfilled the last pledge but at a much higher price. They might also be available as add-ons in future KS that I do, but nothing set in stone.

This is the 3rd time they've kickstarted this. They had a lot of critcism at the first 2 kickstarters and ots of backers pulled out.
This time seems more like a pre-order than a Kickstarter.

I'd be pretty tempted if it was a bit smaller scale for double duty in Car Wars. N-scale just comes out a bit too large, and I have a feeling these are "heroic" N-Scale at that. Z-scale and I'm sold on the models alone.
-
N-scale seems pretty reasonable to me. It's the smallest scale that still allows things to have details that are not overly exaggerated as with GHQ's 6mm vehicles.

N scale means you could also use stuff from the Resistance faction of Drop Zone to add a heap more cars, technicals, trucks and battle buses

N scale is indeed great for all those reasons. I just don't care to play their game. Selfishly, I'm only in it for the figs, and these are not the scale I had hoped for.

Here are the 30 components you get with the basic $35 pledge and all stretch goals achieved for this level.

Miles Holmes attempted to launch the project twice in the past, but I've taken over the kickstarter and production of the vehicles/parts/casting/mold work and my first two KS projects were completed and fulfilled quickly. He still owns the property, I'm just helping to make the project come to life once and for all. You can find scale in inches and mm in the KS updates section.

Those buses are sweet.
