Very cool stuff, Bullshot!
I especially like the hot spots made of dice attached to a base! I'll have to steal that idea!
Judging by the photos, it looks like you guys had a good time!

The game was played in 20mm. The insurgents are Ceasar minis and are plastic. The Marines are FAA lead minis. Both are very affordable. I used the majority of a single box of insurgents for this scenario. I need to get the rest painted up.
As for the cars, most are Matchbox cars that you can find at most any toy store or department store.
The hot spots are not permanently attached. The bases are washers that I did up to make counters for another game. I used them to mark the hot spot and then I placed a die on top to track which number they were.
We did find that with 20mm you need to increase the 'effective' range by about 50%. We used 6" for insurgents and 8" for the Marines for the first game and we had trouble shooting across the street effectively. We increased the ranges to 9" and 12" and that felt alot better with the 20mm stuff. We could shoot from building to building and you could actually cover a street then. We look forward to more games with these rules.
