Krash was a miniature car combat game from Sweden . It came out in 99 i think.
The cars were the same size as hotwheels cars but they had numerous 'pegs' over them where you could attach weapons and equipment. Weapons and cars were sold in booster packs but they werent collectable, which was nice.

  I still have some of the cars for this game. I used to play LAB, by the same company - Cell Entertainment. Still looking for a few machines & monsters.

Hi 
was LAB the Robot game that used the same idea of pegs that you clipped weapons too?

  A mad scientist game. Each playre controls different faction of monsters. There was a cryochamber as the base. You place power cables to machinery that has effects on the monsters you're playing. A pretty fun game, and Cell made a couple of great games. The other one you're referring to is a Robaot game. I want to say Shogun, but the name escapes me.

Ronin was the name of the robot game, I believe.

Thanks i think youre right about the name

  Yes, Ronin...! Cell was a cool company in one way that others aren't: their games could be bought complete, without having to buy endless packs to make a set. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the one I was looking for, then the game was cancelled.
  Are you still finding Krash packs?

A store was closing down ,they turned up one pack that had been lost behind a unit . However it did remind me i had a box full of Krash stuff in the attic

Wow, I didn't know people still played this game. We played it too (well, actually I think I just played it once), but the price of the boosters was a bit prohibitive (like 6 euros for 5 tiny bits). I didn't like the collectable aspect at all, and the castings were very rough (lots of heavy flash). I never played the game to it's full potential (stacking a car full of weapons) but I did paint a couple of models for it

Yes Krash was expensive. I bought about 10 weapon packs at ,i think,Gencon and all the weapons were quite crisp and flash free. However a couple of months later when i bought some more they were heavily flashed. We never had any of the official Krash cars apart from the ones that came with the basic game. It made far more sense to buy hotwheels cars or similar as they were far cheaper and were the same scale.  For extra weapons and equipment we used old GW weapons and bits especially epic parts which worked great.
We must have played it more than i remember as in the attic i found a box with 40 vehicles  that we had converted for this game and ramps  stracked wrecked cars and other assorted scenery.

it was a very simple game and fun to play.

It was a simple, fun game, but missed its potential in terms of development, I think, like many Cell games. We always used Hotwheels/Matchbox/etc. cars, as the basic cars themselves were pretty poor quality (most even lacked doors, just had big alcoves, which made me wonder where anybody got in, let alone had room to sit behind the wheel). There was a truck booster too, if memory serves, but never picked up any of those. There was a rumor of a boat expansion, but I don't think that ever happened.

I'm not sure what happened to Cell, but Ronin didn't look like it sold particularly well, and I think they lost a lot of money on it. Could be wrong, of course. The Lab game also looked fun, but again it didn't seem to sell too well.

I never played but I bought a car pack a few years back for car wars and never did anything with it.

I still have a box full of parts and complete cars. Anyone interested?
