Learn how to use the Gaslands Refuelled clear acrylic templates for movement, slides, and turns in your post-apocalyptic racing games.
Quick answer
Use the Gaslands Refuelled clear acrylic templates to measure movement, execute slides, and navigate turns with precision during your post-apocalyptic races.
Why clear acrylic templates make racing easier
The Gaslands Refuelled set includes 12 templates that match the rulebook artwork. The clear acrylic material lets you see the board and obstacles underneath, so you can place the template exactly where you need it without lifting or guessing.
Because the templates are rigid and laser-cut, they won't warp or stretch like paper versions. This means your measurements stay consistent from turn to turn, which matters when a hairpin turn or a slide can decide the race.
Understanding the template set
The set covers all standard Gaslands movements: three straights (short, medium, long), four turns (gentle, turn, hard, hairpin), a veer, a swerve, and two slide templates (small and large). Each template has full-colour artwork that matches the rulebook illustrations, so you can identify them at a glance.
If you are new to Gaslands, start with the straight and gentle turn templates. The hairpin and slide templates require more practice to use effectively without overshooting or losing control.
How to use Gaslands Refuelled clear templates
- Choose the right template for your declared gear and movement: After declaring your gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th), select the corresponding template from the set. For example, 1st gear uses the short straight, while 4th gear uses the long straight. If you are turning, pick the turn template that matches the turn type shown on your gear dice. A common mistake is grabbing a turn template when you actually need a straight. Check your gear dice before reaching for a template.
- Align the template with your vehicle's front edge: Place the template so its flat end touches the front of your vehicle's base, centered on the vehicle's forward axis. Because the acrylic is clear, you can see the board underneath and align the template precisely without shifting your car. If the template overlaps another vehicle or obstacle, you may need to shift slightly or perform a different maneuver. Do not force the template into a position that would cause a collision.
- Move your vehicle to the far end of the template: Lift your vehicle and place it so its rear edge touches the far end of the template, keeping the same facing. For straight templates, the facing stays the same. For turn templates, rotate the vehicle to match the curve of the template. For slide templates, the vehicle ends up offset to the side. Practice the slide motion a few times to get a feel for how far the vehicle shifts.
- Apply any additional effects from the template artwork: Some templates have markings for hazards, slide tokens, or spin-out zones. After moving, check if your vehicle's new position overlaps any of those markings. If it does, resolve the effect immediately (e.g., take a hazard token or perform a spin-out check). Ignoring template markings is a common oversight. Always scan the template for hazard or slide indicators before removing it from the table.
