WAR TRAIN Inspired by the idea of Jimmy Teiffans, edited by FX Grass and Manuel Bergeron. This behemoth of steel and steam is heading directly toward CoalRest, a mining community. His intentions are clear, raid the community. Panicked, the miners hive you to stop the war train before it reaches the community SCENARIO GOAL Stop the War Train before it reaches its destination. Players win once they control the Locomotive and all it's Wagons. REQUIRED MATERIAL You will need one heavy vehicle with a minimum of three wagons. This is the War Train. Each additional wagon will make the game longer. Having some 15 mm miniature to represent the crew is useful but not mandatory. If you don't have some, use small dice (or other small accessories) to represent the crew that will assault che War Train. TEAMS This scenario is designed to be played solo or in coop. This means the players ate in the same team, but can still take different sponsors. The team has a total of 100 Cans, divided evenly between players. For example, in a game of 100 Cans, two players would have 50 Cans each, at three players they would have 33 Cans each to make their team. IF you want to change the number of Wagons, use the following table to determine the total of Cans (iene Cas 0B SETUP AND DEPLOYMENT Secup a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The War Train starts the game with its locomotive touching the edge of the table and all its wagons on the edge of the table edge. The locomotive should have roughly four feet (120 em) to cross in a straight line to reach the opposite edge of the table. ‘The player vehicles start the game touching the side edge of the rable at a minimum of one Long straight template from the War Train. If your gaming space is not big enough, try putting the War Train in a diagonal line or turn its last wagons along the edge of the table. 8 GAV MASSEY POLE POSITION AND TURN STRUCTURE ‘The players consult each other to find out who will have the Pole position. It will change hands clockwise at the end of each Gear Phase. Remember that this isa cooperative scenario. The player with the Pole Position activates his first vehicle. It is then his colleague's turn and so on until all of the players’ vehicles have been activated. ‘The War Train is then activated. After his Movement phase, roll a die on the War Train Defense System Table and apply the effects immediately. The train then activates its weapons. Finally, it's the curn of the assailants on the train, as they move o attempt to take control of the ear they are in. The War Train and the assailants aboard it activates in Gear phase 1, 2 and 3 only. ONBOARDING SPECIAL RULES The player's vehicle uses the same rule as the basic game. Only the crew that comes on board the War Train is subject to theses special rules: * All Aboard!: One or more crew members of a vehicle can jump on board of the War Train. To do so the vehicle must be at a maximum, of Short range from the wagon of the War Each crewmember that try to board the war Train must roll a D6. On a result of 1 the crewmember miss his jump and fall co his death and is climinated from the game. This action replaces their normal attack step for this gear phase. * Combat aboard the War Train: During the activation that follows theit boarding of the War Train, the crew members can try to take the control of the wagon they are in. They use the weapons they have with them, usually a handgun or their specific crew weapon. ‘Their attack hit on a 3+ and the War Train cannot Evade them. But beware, each result of 1 on the attack dice means the crew member is killed by the defense of the War Train. A wagon that lost 10 Hull points is considered under the control of the attacking team. ‘The weapons of this wagon are now useless for the rest of the game. Leave this wagon attached to the rest of the War Train. rain he wants to board. 8 Moving aboard the War Train: Once a wagon is under the control of the players, their crew members can move to another wagon (or the locomotive) that is adjacent to their position. ‘This move uses their Activation step. Then, they ean try to take control of that new Wagon in their next Activation step. Players’ vehicles: They use the normal rules of Gaslands: Refuclled. “They can attack the wagons or the locomotive following the normal rule. WAR TRAIN SPECIAL RULES ‘The War Train never takes Hazard tokens and ignores all obstacles. The train is Heavy Weight and uses the Piledriver Attack rule (page 121) when resolving a Collision. The War Train is always considered in Gear 3 and always Evades like a vehicle in Gear 3. * Movement: The War Train always moves in a straight line using the Short movement template. He moves only during the Gear phase one to three and does not activate in Gear phase four, five and six. When the locomotive reaches the other side of the table, the game ends immediately. It never throws Skid dices and nothing stops it. During a Collision, the War Train always declares a Smash Attack. THE WAR TRAIN ACTIVATES ONLY DURING GEAR PHASE ONE TO THREE AFTER ALL THE PLAYER'S VEHICLE GOT ACTIVATED. * War Train Weapons: The locomotive and each wagon have one turret- mounted Minigun. These weapons shoot at Double range and attack with 416, Turrets always prioritize the vehicle that is the closest of the Locomotive, but will try to pick different targets if possible. In case of indecision regarding the right target for those turrets, the players with the Pole position decide which vehicle is the target. A wagon who lose all his Hull points is considered under the control of the players. The weapon of this wagon is disabled and is of no more use for the rest of the game. Each wagon have 10 Hull points, the locomotive have 20 Hull points. ‘Taking control of the locomotive neutralizes its turret AND stop the Defense System of the War Train, * ire: The War Train can be set on Fire. Each wagon or locomotive set on fire loses one Hull point at the start of their activation. During its defense step, it is possible that the War Train extinguishes the flames. * Special equipment: To make the game more fun and difficult, give the war train some special equipment.

Gaslands is set in the beginning of a post-apocalyptic 21st century where gas oil is the main currency. Steamlands is an alternative universe where stcam machines are king. Inspired by the work of Jules Verne, it has a neo- Victorian vibe and some retro-futuristic tech. To play in the Steamlands universe just use the standard rule of Gaslands: Refuelled and add the following rules. For a more immersive take, replace the term Can by Cog. R SPECIAL RULE COAL. ‘Most steam engines consume coal and water. Take a shovel and be sure to feed the boiler to keep it under pressure! In Steamlands, coal and water are vital to generate the steam necessary for your vehicle going. To keep the game simple, Coal token represents the fuel for the boiler. You can use wooden cubes, small rocks or tokens from other games to represent these tokens. ‘Ac the beginning of the game, each vehicle begins with a number of Coal token linked to his Weight Class: * Lightweight : 3 Coal coken + Mediumweight : 4 Coal token + Heavyweight : 5 Coal token Once per activation, at the start of its Movement Step, this vehicle may temporarily reduce its Crew Value until the end of the Attack Step, to fill the boiler with coal. For each Crew assigned, discard one Coal token and raise its current Gear by one up to its Max Gear. At the end of each Turn, just after Gear Phase 6, each vehicle must discard one Coal token or reduce its Current Gear by two. © MICKAEL TOGNA ‘O.WAYNE THOMPSON TERRAIN COAL.

This vehicle gets +3 additional Coal tokens at the start of the game. @ MICK ALLAN ‘The Easiese Skulls you will Ever Paint, by James Hall Anyone who has seen my work knows that I like skulls on my Gaslands cars. Even on my very first cars I painted skulls and used tiny 15mm metal skeleton bits for gruesome trophies. In this tutorial I will show you the casiest skull you will ever paint, and all you need is 3 paints, your favourite paintbrush, and one paintbrush with a nice fine tip. To start, make sure you've base-coated your car in the colour of your choice. I prefer a black base-coat. Decide where you want the skull to go and paint an oval shape in beige paint. This will be a guide for how wide, and how long the skull will be when finished. From the centre of the oval, paint down towards the front of the car, and out to the sides. This rectangle shape will be the upper row of teeth of the skull. ‘to Now using a white paint, begin to build a layer on-top of the beige paint leaving a small amount of the beige showing dhrough. ‘The next step is painting the focal details of a skull; the two eye-sockets, nose and teeth. Using your fine-tipped brush and black paint. I think this is where people struggle or worry about making mistakes, so let's break this down. Start by painting a black arrow-head, with the tip of the V shape point up co the centre of the oval shape. Then to the left of the arrow-head, paint a small kidney bean shape. There should be a little gap between the arrow-head and the kidney bean, and if you use a long straight line at the cop it will give the suggestion of a brow to the skull. “Then on the right side of the arrow-head, copy the kidney bean shape like a mirtor image. You can do this by painting in with your brush. a rough outline, before filling To paint the teeth of the skull, start with a thin line just underneath the arrow-head, and pull down towards the front of the car. Paint more downwards lines on cither side. As an optional final step, paint ewo lines below the arrow-head and reaching out at 45 degrees either side to create a cheekbone effect. And there you have it, the easiest way to paine a skull. You can apply this at any size, in any combination, and even cover a car in skulls! By Sébastien Blais ‘The joy of aking a sharp turn surrounded by concrete barrier blocks! Here is a simple tutorial to create Jersey barriers for your Gaslands terrain. 1. For this tutorial I've used some 1/8” thick MDF wood. (A) Cut ewo stripes 1/2” wide by 2” long. (B) Cut two %4" by ¥4” square. (C) Cur one 13" wide by 3/8” long rectangle. 2. Glue the wo squares (B) to each endpoint of one of the stripes (A). Glue the small rectangle (C) well centred. Then, glue the last stripe (A) to form a rectangle. 8 3. Once glued (A) it will do a V form. T have access to a bele sander so I sanded it to have a nice flat surface. This is ‘optional and just has a nice touch to the barrier. 4, (A) L used a black primer and a dark grey for the primary colour, I've finished the barrier with a dry brush of light grey. You can make it direy with another drybrush of whatever colour you see fit. VARIANTS ‘To create a foolproof barrier you can combine this tutorial with the one about the metal fence found in Overdrive 1* Issue. 5a. (A) Trace and drill some holes to place some studs. (B) Glue the studs in place. (C) Attach the fence on the studs. 6a. (C) cut some plastic rectangles and glue chem to the studs. Paine them and voila! Be creative and have fun!
