Some random info:
Wreckage : Fantasy Flight Games makes / made this (I got mine on e-Bay so I dunno). It's a tabletop game (no grid), fairly simple mechanics : the fluff is battling it out to get prizes in gasoline from spomsors..
Overdrive Arena: a german-developed game, but issued by Testor's (the paint people), now OOP but available on e-bay. A bit more complicated, with siimple but effective car-building rules.. and gaingn experience as drivers.
The box comes with two 1/43 cars, some paints, and a selection of weapons and armor. 1/43 works well with the 28mm Street Violence figs or Copplestones Future Wars, Combat Zone etc.
The fluff for this game is .. well.. join the "Motor Mayhem International" league.. Oh.. never mind.. you'll never use it.. but it does have rules for
forming teams..
JADA 1/64 Battle Machines: (I posted the following also on TMP..)
A Review of Jada 1/64 Battle Machines for use with Dark Future (GW),
Wreckage (Fantasy Flight) and Axles & Alloys.. or any Mad Max type game.
The cars are 1/64.. which runs a bit bigger than Hot Wheels.
Examples (from the first link)
The taxi in the bottom row middle runs
2" hub-to-hub, 3 1/4" overall
The truck in the bottom row right runs
2 1/2" hub-to-hub and 3 23/4" overall
for comparison, a Dark Future plastic Interceptor runs
1 9/16" hub-to-hub, 2 3/4" overall.
However, the Dark Future 20mm figures fit well with the Jada..
(but Stan Johansen says they fit well with true 25mm..)
All Jada cars are screwed together, not riveted, the guns are also screwed on.. so disassembly (and re-assembly..! is a snap. The car bodies are made of metal.. which is thicker (2x.>?) than Hot Wheels, and thus any gun-mount holes youo make
are deeper..(this is a good thing..:-) The guns and lover body and other parts
are polystyrene plastic.
The detail is good (the rivets are there, etc..) and the paint job is very good
(no shiny decals..!) .. Still, there are probably parts you'll want to custom paint. I haven't done anything extensive, but I tried acrylics on the taxi, without priming. Worked well.. so painting and weathering should present little problem.
I saw these on another TMP post, and ordered them. The are sporadically available at Wal-Mart, etc.. but I got excellent service at the link below:
