A Day at the Races....Batrep (pic heavy)
« on: January 03, 2011, 01:06:25 PM »
I posted this on Post Apoc Wargames forum a while ago, and was recently reminded of it. I though some folks over here would like it so I thought I would share! Its a bit of Post Apocalyptic death racing fun. Fans of Deathrace or Blood Drive will like it. Enjoy!

A day at the Races.
Rules Wastelands





“Welcome Race fans to this months fixture in Brittannia city. Its Trey Oddtrousers for Nasty TV!"

"And I am Jono Bugeyes!"

"It's another day of buggy racing here. The Race track is a simple cordoned off area where our racers race for glory!”

“And for a tanker of clean water!”

“For those out there in Wastelands land the rules are simple!”

“One: Race around the circuit. The first one to make three laps wins!”

“Two: Kill all the Zombies that now wander the circuit. The first to kill all the zeds with the highest score wins. Remember Zeds are worth One point!”

“Three: Be the last car rolling. Yes kids – ram, shunt and shoot your way to victory!”

“Let's not forget that the cars cannot use their guns until they have completed one lap! Any car shooting will be disqualified immediately!”

“Oh, should another cars crew member be walking across the track, mowing them down will win you 5 points on the Zed counter!”

“That’s why you folks love the races!”

“Sure is Trey!”



“Look a Ratmen is here. Looks like he is trying one of the famous Dribbler meaties!”

“We all know how bad that is! I spot Lord Blackdaggar and another officer. Some of his men are providing today's Sec detail. They have a medic too!”

"If they have a Dribbler meatie they will need that medic!"



“Here are the Racers!”

“On the far side at the front is Scorcher! He won last month. That rig of his has an extra big engine with a blower. That makes it super fast. For what he lacks in weapons he makes up for in speed!”

“Yeah – you don’t want him behind you in the starting grid. Last race he rammed a buggy into the wall off the start line! Now that’s sport!”

“Closest front is Sticker, Behind him is the Sungodz buggy. On the far rear is the notorious Autoskum racer!”

“For those that don’t know Autoskum are a notorious road raider gang. These guys are ruthless and completely nuts!”



“And they are OFF! with Scorcher taking an early lead!”



“Wow! Autoskum has caught the Scorcher and shunted it!”



“Scorcher has spun out! Shame he missed that Zed!”



“The shunt has stopped Autoskum! The others are racing like a Nuke is behind them!”



“Scorcher is trying to restart the buggy but Autoskum has gone in for the kill!”



“Autoskum has taken out the Scorcher! Wow! The Monolith cultists are behind the wall there applauding!”

“Strange to see them so far from home and enjoying themselves!”



“Sticker and Sungodz are still racing.”



“Autoskum has mashed his first Zed!”

“Autoskum is ahead of the pack on all scores!”



“Sticker is widening the gap between him and Sungodz!”



“What is this? Autoskum has taken a short cut!”

“It's not against the rules and it looks like he is after blood!”



“Scorcher has ditched from his buggy. He looks like he is wounded!”



“Sticker has taken his first Zed of the race!”



“Sungodz smashes into Autoskum!”



“Skum spins out!”



“Sungodz is going for the kill!”



“Sungodz is pushing Autoskum along. He will need new tyres!”

“Skum is going to be forious! He won't like that!”



“Scorcher has made it off the track!”



“Sticker races away for the finishing line. Sungodz has reversed for another shot at Autoskum!”



“Skum can't get the buggy running. Ouch! Sungods has hit him again!”



“Sticker is getting closer to the line for that fist lap and the use of his assault rifle!”



“Skum has got the rig going and is reversing!”

“Will this be smash time?”



“There he goes!”



“Sticker is over the line! Look out he's got shooters!”



“The Sungodz is only scratched. He is reversing. This is turning into a real grudge match!”



“Skum has gone on the offensive – again!”



“That hurt Sungodz and he has been shunted along!”

“Looks like he will need new tyres too!”



“Sticker is shooting at Zeds. He has wounded one but it's not enough!”



“Sungodz is reversing!”



“He has ploughed into Skum again!”



“Skum has kept the motor going and is reversing out!”



“Skum is reversing and Sungodz is running!”

“He probaly wants his guns!”



“Sticker smashes into Skum from the side!”



“Skum is out the race!”

“I never saw that one coming!”

“Niether did Skum!”



“Sungodz is running still!”

“If he had stayed put he could have taken Skum, rather than letting Sticker have the glory!”



“Sticker is reversing and Skum is out!”

“He looks wounded too!”



“Sungodz as reached the last bend!”



“Sticker is still reversing!”

“You think he is going to play chicken?”

“Not sure, but what a showdown!”



“Skum is running for the barricades.”



“Sungodz is getting closer to the line!”



“Sticker has just shot a Zed with a full autoburst! One undead dead!”



“Skum is safe!”



“Sungodz is approaching the line!”



“He is over it and his weapons are armed!”



“Sungodz takes two zeds out at once!”

“What a ram raiding hero!”



“Sticker rams Sunny head on!”


“Sungodz is shunted backwards and spins out!”

“Racer out!”

“Sticker wins!”

“That’s one big tanker of water he has!”

“Join us next time race fans!”

Thanks for the kind comments. I love the backdrop you put in!

The vehicles are all matchbox and hotwheels cars that where small enough to be used as one seat race buggies in 28mm.

Very nice report, I just read on your Post Apocalyptic Wargames forum a new version of the rules is due out for release anytime now. Did you use those latest rules or a previous version?

LOVED IT! The Battle report brought back memories of "Monday Night Football" sans the nasally Howard Cossell. The minis & the scenery are FANTASTIC...VERY cinematic. GREAT STUFF!

Oh my god! Very cool table game  :-* :-* :-*! I have the Warlands rules but we only play two games, I think I copy this board and play another!
One question, the road is painted in a cloth material???

Thankyou for the kind comments. I hope to post up more of my games reports here when I find the pictures on Photobucket - there are a few.

The Wastelands rules I used for this game was the old version.

The roads are painted onto the mat. It was a bed sheet over sprayed with car primers (Red, Black and Grey) on both sides. On one side I added the road grid for Urban gaming. It was painted on with cheap poster colour. It has been one of the cheapest and most useful gaming accessories I have ever made.
