Pet shops sell bags of black hamster bedding (that's hamster bedding coloured
black, not bedding for black hamsters <GRIN>) that is like coarse
black cotton wool. Looks perfect for smoke on brewed-up vehicles.
Use ordinary white cotton wool for smokescreens, and the coloured balls of it
(orange, purple etc) for marker smoke.

One of the local players has an even better method. He uses wire that has been
bent into a loop to be placed under the "burning track" that then projects
upwards above the vehicle. Attached to the wire is white cotton that has also
been sprayed black. This makes an excellent looking smoke marker for vehicles
that are burning.
For smoke I used cotton wool dyed it grey and sprayed it with lacquer. Went
all stiff and looks great on the battlefield.
Here is an interesting option on smoke as well. I only have a limited number
of cotton wool smoke markers. Each time a vehicle was destroyed (not just
damaged) we would place the cotton wool down. Any ranged fire having to shoot
through the smoke got reduced by a range band. (is that already in the rules?
can't remember) anyway the other part is when ever we ran out of smoke the
player who's vehicle was destroyed was allowed to take a smoke marker from
anywhere else. Throughout a game this gave the impression of fires dying out
but also gave better realism to taking out leading vehicles to blind those
following behind.
Oh and what is a 'Scenarious'?
a 'Serious Scenario'? *joke* - (remember them?)
This sound interesting, but I cannot visualize it. Are there any pics, or more
specific instructions somewhere?
