Did you get much mileage from this supplement? How does it hold up, from the vehicle construction angle and the actual gameplay?

I bought it back when it came out. Never used the boats. Used the hovercraft counters with homebrewed simplified movement rules. This was probably the supplement I got the least "mileage" out of.

Bought both the pocket box and the big box and never used them. We asked for boats and hovercraft so I can't really complain.

I only recall playing once using the boat rules. There was nothing in them that stuck out as better than cars so after that one time just went back to cars.

On a related note, I think we only used aircraft (helicopters) once. I had a car with a universal turret that managed to do three points of damage to a heavily armored helicopter which caused a series of rolls that resulted in a rotor failure.

Some. We did a few games using the rules. Probably more than any of the air vehicles (choppers, planes, etc.). Less than car trailers and races though.
