They're not all up on their website yet, but an exciting range.

6mm? That's crazy small for games like this!


... still, I'm feeling tempted.  ;D

It's around the original Car Wars scale so being a devotee of 6mm, Mad Max and Car Wars I'm sorely tempted to flog off my 20mm MM project.

Let's not be too hasty here!  :o

That said if you can find the right rule set 6mm does seem a better scale for full on carnage.  :D

I'd use a early version of Car Wars.

I thought car wars was super complex and not at all suited to large numbers of vehicles?

Not that I recall, it can get a bit like stock trading - +2, +1, -1, +3, -2, +1, etc but I played it loads so not a prob, plus I'd probably hack it down -so you could have all the bells and whistles of CW but with the speedy playability of Battlecars.

IIRC, the only difficult part for some people was the vector approach for calculating collisions.

There are many CW substitutes that can be used.
And Battlecars had 6mm scale vehicles didn't it?

Very cool project, looks like some great detail.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Like?

Just found a UK vendor of these: http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/microworld-games/micro-wasteland/

Also had a natter with MicroWorld games about the entire range which will likely be available in their entirity at the end of the year.

I'm really liking the idea of 6mm post-apocalyptic.
