North Star is currently funding a reprint of the rules with more clear instructions and a lot of cool (optional) extras like guns for the cars and stuff.

That was my first thought upon hearing about Gaslands - "I wonder if it comes in ziplock bags like Car Wars." SJG's sure got screwed by the FBI.

I heard refueled is very similar. I want to get into this game. This is the original?

@@angelharpe8323 Refueled is pretty much the same thing as the original, as far as I can tell. Some minor cleanups and clarifications, but the core is same. Just bought the rulebook myself yesterday and finished my first car conversions today! The building part is a breath of fresh air after being stuck in the rather rigid world of GW games. Kitbashing toy cars is super fun stuff.

Edward Bauman thanks for the great question! The answer I have is, it depends on the situation. I'll start with a quote from the rulebook on Range, "Place the shooting template within the weapons arc of fire, and measure the two closest points between the attacker and the target that have line of sight to each other. If any part of the template can touch the target, it may be attacked." From the section on Cover "If the shooting template touches an obstruction before it touches the target, the target benefits from cover." In the example I have in the video, it is kind of ambiguous if the vehicle is in cover. It does seem like you can move the template parallel along the front of the car to not have the vehicle in cover. This is something to discuss with your opponent when the situation arises. Also do not forget about the rule of carnage! More possible damage without cover!

This game is similar to Car Wars in setting alone. It's much faster and player-friendly.

you can download them, and the quick reference on the gaslands website

oh.. sorry I thought you meant the car cards. I don't know where he got the weapons card🤣🤣

I really can't remember where I got them from. I would check the Gaslands Facebook group file section. There is some great stuff in there.

It might be beneficial to roll less dice to avoid more hazards. It's a push your luck type of game. Is it okay if I wipe out here? Those types of game play decisions

Board Game Essentials “up to 90 degrees in either direction” definitely means you have 180 degrees of choice in where you end up. No idea what the intent of the rules was, but that’s what that sentence means. Thanks for this video; it was really helpful

You must apply a spin, and it is a 180 degree arc. You have to do a spin of at least a degree. I would rather see a minimum, but enforcing that would be a really pain. Better to follow the Wheaton rule.

Normally, yes 4's count as hits. In that specific example the pick up truck is in cover so the performance car only hits on 5's and 6's.

No specific colors required!

Board Game Essentials Ok and my first I am building is an Showbox 4door vehicle.

Board Game Essentials the 1945 Sedan but 4doors instead of two.

I supposed you could just apply these same rules or another set of war game rules to any group of toys....

Otherwise, I haven’t heard of any.

I would call that a Truck with a Ram weapon, A Heavy Truck if you don't want the Ram weapon, or either with the Team Verney Sponsor and use the roller as it's Tombstone feature.

psst, I'll let you in on a secret... Wargames are just kiddo games disguised to look like serious adult business. That's why people like 'em so much.

what the fuck does this even mean? if you play mini games youre playing with toys with rules other nerds told you matter when you play pretend.

@@deadeyezayuh Yeah, the fear of being accused of playing with expensive toys and not being taken seriously causes some interesting mental gymnastics (when of course the trick is to realize that "being taken seriously" is a chump's game and playing with expensive toys is the end goal of literally every human being on the planet who earns more than subsistence wage, it's just they call their expensive toys Maseratis instead of miniatures).

thats like saying you played Marvel Protocol because you played Infinity because you once played Rogue Trader and then those try hards can say they played Chainmail with Gygax and then those try hards get had by people saying they played Chess 1,500 yrs ago.... know it all gamers ruin the hobby for everyone

I might not have explained it well enough in the video so I'll do my best here. Your car has a number of skid dice it can roll on its turn based on how well it can maneuver. So for example, a Pickup Truck has poor handling/maneuvers so it can roll 0 to 2 dice. A performance car is better at handling/maneuvers so it can roll 0 to 4 dice. The whole reason why you can choose the amount of skid dice to roll is because every hazard on your car matters. Skid dice represent the uncertainty of driving on the road, you performing the best drift of your life, or your driver freaking out. Once a car reaches 6 hazards or more it will have to wipe out and reduce its gear to 1. So maybe during my cars activation in the death race scenario, I find my lead car with a straight path to the finish line. This looks great and easy to me but I am at 5 hazards already. If I roll poorly during the skid check and end up with 6 or more hazards, then I will wipe out at the end of my turn. I might not necessarily want wipe out. Bottom line is, skid dice is a wonderful push your luck mechanism in the game. Sometimes you get lucky and get exactly what you need. Or sometimes your pickup trucks only roll hazards, like me haha. Hope this was able to help you. Koray

It's just because it's being explained in a chunk. Overall it's much better to let them play and explain the rules as the players need it or ask.

@@angrytheclown801 That's how I prefer to play too. Any game, not just this one. The rules always seem overly complex until you get down to playing, then it's super simple to grasp. But I think this guy did a really good job of explaining the rules and demonstrating game play for us. :)

That'd be way too simplistic. Gaslands is simple enough with some good crunch. Refueled is like 176 pages and it's also filled with color art, the how we got here story, and different scenarios. The cars alone would take up more than a single page.

I definitely needed all 17 minutes. I still had to pause it sometimes. LOL
