[Kickstarter] Car Wars 6th edition

Car Wars 6th edition is up on Kickstarter -
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjgames/car-wars-sixth-edition-by-steve-jackson-games
1/64th scale (railway S scale) and pretty much 28mm for the cars, which seems a strange choice, given how much of the toy car market is approx 20mm
Still, they will be more useful with figures, so I imagine they'll appear in a lot of other games
Runs until Jan 6th and already way over funded (so presumably other folks are quite happy with the scale choice)
Packs of car miniatures are available to purchase

Interesting, but the models look like they will be difficult to customise.
Quaint use of chipboard for the dashboard and turning templates (do they mean MDF?).
1/64 is generally considered 25mm equivalent.

1/64 for Hot Wheels and Matchbox.
No sign of sprues, but I'd like to see them for customization.

Add-ons are currently planned to be sold direct through SJG's Warehouse 23.
New $100 add-ons only pledge level added! $110 of credit for add-ons for $100!
Meanwhile, the value of the $140 Double Ace pledge is over $300 in free add-ons.
Double Ace pledge includes neoprene playmat, 12 11"x11" road tiles, and 20+ car miniatures, so you have components for Gaslands as well.

Those tiles are mediocre at best IMO. Too Photoshoppy and the different layers are too obvious. But other than that, the KS looks quite nice.

New $100 pledge level gives you $110 in credit towards add-ons!
Perfect for Gaslands players looking for accessories, and Ogre players!

The $470,000 stretch goal has been unlocked, adding the Car Wars Linked Weapons Pack to the Double Ace rewards package. This set of cards -- two of each weapon in each of the four player colors -- expands your design options and adds more firepower to the game!

Additional playmat should be added by the end of the campaign.

Good news: Core set has two additional miniatures and will still be $75 through the KS!
Bad news: "An important note. Now that two more cars have been added to the core game (a total of ten car minis in the box), the post-KS price has been adjusted (up). Kickstarter backers are paying $75; the post-KS price is $115 for the core game."

New add-on unlocked. Miniature sets 2 and 4 are not included in any pledge levels.

NOTE: If you're at the $139 or the $145 reward level, you can skip this special offer from Uncle Al.
Uncle Al is ready for the New Year with a special offer: The $146 reward level is for those of you who missed out on the Black Friday reward and are looking for a lot of goodies at an incredible price. This is the basic $140 reward + the Black Friday bonus item (Uncle Al's Upgrade Pack) and is for everyone at the $74, $75, and $140 reward levels who have asked: How can I get the Black Friday bonus?
Hurry, gang! This offer expires on January 2 at 5 pm central.
