Hell On Wheels Vehicles Coming For Sergeants Miniatures Game
May 26, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Lost Battalion Games is ramping up for the June release of the Hell on Wheels expansion for the Sergeants Miniatures Game.
With this expansion you will now be able to add vehicles to your game. The first vehicles that will be available now or soon will be are the M4A1 Sherman, M2A1 Halftrack, Marder IIIM and SdKfz 250-1.
The vehicles system comes in a module with the vehicle strategy card as well as all the playable cards for actions. I am not sure how they will play in the game itself, but know that it is a card mechanic that matches actions with the strategy cards to see how you activate and what actions that miniature can do.
I just picked up the Day of Days American starter set and I have to say the quality of the different components is top shelf. Every thing you need to play is in the box including the pre-painted miniatures and even the glue dot to mount them to their stand!
This game is unique in that it is a card driven, miniatures based boardgame and once you understand the rules and game play, it is very fun. I hope to do a review of it in the near future once I get a few more game under my belt.
Also, I realize that the entry cost to the game may be considered high for some people, but as I said you are getting a fully playable and fully painted miniatures game.
Have you tried Sergeants Miniatures Game yet?

The vehicles look great but what this game really needs is a graphics designer! The box art and stat cards are letting down the quality of the product imo
@redyeti the art style is very similar to a series of US Army comics that came out in the 70s. They were designed to cover preventative maintenance that people found tedious.
So in actuality the graphic design is spot on? Who’da thunk it! Do you know the name of the series? I’d like to check it out now 🙂
I have bought a lot of their stuff on Kikstarter the Red Devil starter + a lot of extensions and all the components are top notch really A1 Quality and over that the game is a blast , so those vehicule will be a + for me …thanks for the info 🙂
What scale are the minis? I’d be more interested in using them in other games personally.
@Koraski they are 20mm
the models look great.
It is the PS comic on preventative maintenance and I was wrong it was started in 1951! The art styles have changed throughout the years, but this is what it reminds me of.
I also saw a fan made vehicle chart for this game in a forum I can’t remember where however.
