All of the above makes me ask the question...

What other auto dueling rule sets are out there?  Are any of them decent?  Anyone try the set Stan Johansen puts out called Road Rage?   How about the old set GW put out (can't remember the name, maybe Dark Future?)

Jake
Axle Tribes
Axels and Alloys
Battlecars << There is a PDF out there. :-)
Battlebikes
Car Wars
Dark Future
KRASH
Outrider
Road Rage - Original
Road Rage - Stan's version
Roadkill
Road Kill Rally
Speed Rally
Warlands
Wreckage

Just to name a few.  :-)

If you want something simple and stylized there is also "vehicular homicide".

I am interested in kind of rules that kids could play so if its fun and quick that cool. I can use the more grown up rules with my mates and brother in law.

had a quick look at the deluxe edition PDF and its not the old version but a culled 4th ed. Overall its not bad but could still use more culling. It does not have the rules for trucks either. I would be more than happy to reference it for you and tell you what they threw in this version so you can take it out.



thx that would be great.

Used to be available from wargames vault but looks like its retired. I think it was from radioactive press but I can't be quite sure any-more.

Cool topic,  I'm definitley with those who say that 20mm toy cars are the way to go.  I'm really hoping to try my son on car gaming when he is old enough, though I'll probably get back to work on my own very-simple rules that have been shelved for a year or so now.

Did need to address this though...
72nd scale, 20mm, HO, matchbox, hot wheels, all the same scale.  You can get slightly beefier cars with Jada or other brands, and the sky is practically the limit.
Not quite the case.  The are all fairly compatible, except for HO.  You can use HO scale buildings and scenery, but HO scale cars are drastically smaller than Matchbox/HotWheels.  HO scale figures are also notably smaller than 1/72nd.

Just didn't want you to order any HO scale vehicles thinking that they would be in scale with Hot/Match cars.

worth it for the cars alone for 28mm gaming. THey come with really nice armour and gun conversion packs and the armour is molded in the shape of the cars body.
I knew there was another set of rules that started with an O out there.  ;-)

Cheers mate!  I was actually thinking of my HO terrain for ATZ that goes perfect with 20mm.  Do you read minds?!?!? :)

speaking of terrain what companies make good 20mm roads and buildings for post-apoc settings?

I have never gamed in 20mm and now I need some roads, obstacles, buildings and what ever else is out there.

any one got some good sites?
