Liked some of the ideas, with interchangeable weapons on the cars. Were you working at GW when Dark Future got released? From memory it didn't seem to get much love. GW even tried out a LARP paintball and cars version in a quarry once before realising someone was probably going to get killed and shelved it! I'd just use 'dark future' its not a bad game and was clearly based on the original mad max movies. Surely it can be better than GorkaMorka and Car Wars. I'm sure there are many other things that could be woven into the game mirroring what is already a tried and tested system, with appropriate tweaks for the new environment (both geography and thematic!) Critical effects that limit speed or manoeuvres, injured driver, dead crew, etc. Weapon upgrades with special abilities like harpoons,

A 'Control Point' system that tracks effects like extreme manoeuvres (handbrake turns, etc), sideswipes/ramming, and 'control' weapons (tyre spikes, caltrops, harpoons) that cumulate unless action is taken (crew used to remove harpoons, slow straight manoeuvre, etc.) and require a test, or force you to lose control, when they reach a certain point. Ramming (and contact weapon upgrades like spikes, etc.) Road Warriors (few but, elite - two talents?) Gasoline Farmers (nitrous and other engine related upgrades?) Bullet Farmers (lots of automatic weapons - favouring volume of fire over accuracy) Canyon Landers (bike heavy/only, grenadiers) War Boys (drug enhanced suicide boarding parties, musician crew to inspire the gang) War rigs (2 or 3 crew, multiple weapons) War wagons (1 or 2 crew, 'turrets'! flame throwers, etc.) The 100 pt tournament style list would work with building a 'gang' based on the factions represented in the movie. I think it has a lot of potential, given you're not limited by roads in this setting.

It could use a similar representation of Driver(Pilot) skill, differing dials for different vehicles various upgrade cards for engines, crew, weapons, talents, etc.ĭifferent movement templates may well be required, but that's not a big problem. I think it has a lot of potential with the FFG model for X-Wing of high quality pre-painted minis, upgrade cards, etc. It got me to thinking that it would make for a great setting for a Flight Path system vehicle combat game.

A solid, very well paced action movie - refreshingly low on the CGI effects too.
