Damn you Thorsten Frank!
Now I’m getting annoyed that there aren’t any rules like that in the rules!You are very welcome!
Well, I while I understand why Mike Hutchinson left pedestrian rules out of the official rules I don´t understand why he don´t made some, at leaast, suggestions on the homepage. As you wrote that was an opportunity not used.
On the other hand I think, as stated above, I understand his decision. Again as you said, he tried it to make it different from Car Wars in as many ways as possible and keep it as playable as possible. Anything on foot would have led to complicated rules and that turns certain players simply off. And Car Wars was a complicated game in some ways. You can play several Gaslands games in the same space of time as one Car Wars game.
While I like the rich detail I get from a Car Wars game it´s always a question of time – a Gaslands game is set up faster and played.
It all comes down to personal preference.
Hm, something in between those too would be nice."In strange grammar this one writes" - Master Yoda
A lighter option is sawdust.
Never thought of that. I´ve got TONS of this stuff.
. Now, I also tend to use natural sand and dirt a lot. For instance, all of my Vietnam minis are based with red dirt that I scrapped up while travelling through southern Oklahoma. It looks exactly like red laterite, and there are even areas that are so red that it looks like what we think “martian red” should be. My property has 6 different colors of dirt, and I used them all extensively. The little twigs and roots that is sometimes found within also adds to great effect! Why buy expensive stuff when you can have free, organic, free range terrain?
That´s a bit problematic and you can laugh about me now but my region got some stuff from Chernobyl back then and I´ve got a spot in the garden a Geiger counter get´s really working. Hm. On the other hand you don´t know what´s already in the house. Got to think about that.

Great review!!!! I really fell in love with Burning Sands already after the first read through.
Because I’m a hide-bound, Luddite old fool who likes something clenched in his sinewy hands, by Crom! But maybe I’ll need to change. Could it be possible?
I really prefer still prefer paper. One can call me old-fashioned. But a good eBook reader or tablet can be an alternative. And besides printing them out yourselve, which get´s quite expensive if you aren´t lucky enough to have an laser printer, it´s quite handy if you´ve got a printing shop nearby. And I´m lucky to have one (quite a larger one on the border to a printing house). There are several pros for this: for a “cheaper” (in terms of money) I can get a colour print for 50 pages in A4 for 11 Euro and for 6 Eurons in Black and White. Completely professionally bound. It get´s even cheaper if I have several different PDF´s to print. Hardcover is a bit more expensive. So, for a PDF like Burning Sands I could get a soft cover print for a similar price as if I would buy it as a book.

I guess my feeble attempt to spell monster in the way he says it failed..
Only for me – I´ve seen the movie in the localized version.
Heck I think that new one… what’s it called… oh yeah “Burning Sands” might work.
Don´t laugh – I thought the same!
