There is always a massive pileup at the starting line, ALWAYS. This is a feature, not a bug, as it helps get players into the correct mindset for the game.

OH

MY

GHAWD!

Had my first 3 player game last night, and we hadn't even made it to the first gate yet when we each had lost a vehicle to wrecks. I was using team Highway Patrol, and with the Audience votes, I was 8 votes by the time smoke cleared because as luck would have it...it was my Chosen BOGEY that got wrecked twice.

Awesome fun

The only 'Official' thing in Gaslands is the rulebook. 

So it just occurred to me.............   MWDA Vehicle Minis are just about the same size as Hotwheels/Matchbox?

I was actually thinking some of the wheeled vehicles are very dunebuggy or armored car-ish

Ranger, Demon, Partisan

Not to mention some of the APCs or Support/Repair type units.

Last but not least, the kitbashing for the Guns that could happen :)

I mean, take a close look at the white pickup I posted.  :cool:

(The Mini is another good place to look, but the gun's on the other side so harder to see details.)

I wonder how hard it would be to recreate the opening police chase in Mad Max with Gaslands.
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

Is it possible for different factions to start from other sides of the map?

Yes, in Scenarios like ARENA OF DEATH they start in locations other than a starting line.
