I apologize for not knowing the exact scale of Road/Kill. One page of the Kickstarter Beta site has dimensions of the miniatures. Road/Kill Kickstarter Beta Site – What's in the box?

They appear to be very small. Always keen to take a gander at kickstarter, but I'm really waiting for Car Wars. |

Always keen to take a gander at kickstarter, but I'm really waiting for Car Wars. I am occasionally tempted to go back to all my old Car Wars stuff and try and figure out precisely where it jumped the shark, so that I can freeze the game just before that and enjoy it again. Doug |

I contacted the guy doing it, scale is micromachine toy scale.
He wanted it to be small so you could have a large game in a small place.
I like the look of it.
I'll back it.

Sounds pretty good… but I would rather larger scale vehicles (like Hotwheels… of which I already have 20 converted into various death-racers…) Still, I will be watching this. |

Ohh, I quite like that… |

Looks like this was pulled! Anyone know what's happening? Was on the fence for this, but I liked the idea. |

Yea, the creator pulled it because he wanted to address feedback from the kickstarter backers. People wanted to see more fleshed out rules and have reviews from third party critics. The new Kickstarter page just went up on the Kickstart Canada launch:

link I had a chance to play this game and it is really amazing. I'm hoping enough people support it for him to release the box set… its really worth having on the shelf. |

Personally the compendium is where Car Wars jumped the shark. Before that everything but Deluxe Car Wars was optional and modular. Sure you had boats and tanks and air planes out there but out of the box you still had the cool and easy game of cars with machineguns and flame throwers. With the compendium every weapon had six lines of alternate ammo modifiers. |
