Has anyone else noticed that the stock cycles in the Car Wars Compendium 2nd Edition are wrong? All of the cycles have handling classes 1 higher than they...
... A running gag in SPARK is that all of the published vehicles are wrong in at least one way when using the current rules and many have problems if you use...
I just pulled out my Car Wars set from the basement and am relearning the rules (a la Compendium 2nd Ed.) Here is a question that I have never quite figured...
... IIRC the stock dragsters and funny cars also have wrong acceleration. I think it's something like 25-30 mph. And I think that the highest acceleration...
If the last point of damage to a tire is caused by a hazard, such as a skid or debris, or by spikes or an FG, only the tire is lost. If the last point of...
Dragsters and Funny Cars specifically had a provision that is power factors were over double the weight, the base acceleration was 20, not 15. Also, bonuses...
Tires have Damage Points (DP) When you target a tire, (-3) and hit. the damage goes to the tire. When the DP's reach 0, your HC drops and good luck from there....
It's really funny, I missed the sentence in the rules that mentions this, until I was re-reading them after I posted the question. I guess all I needed was one...
I am interested in getting back into Car Wars after many years away, but am not sure what version to use. Suggestions? Other than my local used game/bookstore,...
I would suggest Car Wars Deluxe. The version with the Compendium will give you all the rules (motocycles, boats, helcopters, gas engines, etc.) in one...
Make sure you get the more recent version of the Compendium. I'm in the middle of a house move, so I'll have to rely on the others to confirm this, but I think...
just pulled out my carwars ( thinking about playing again if I can find some targets (I mean players)). The copy of the compendium I have has a blue cover, its...
... You're not too far behind. The next real 'version' of car wars is version 5, which you should avoid. The only thing you're really missing is the errata, as...
I suggest using the old stuff (much of it was great) but keeping the exotic stuff out until the players get more experienced. For example, keep the fight on...
Does anyone have the Statistics on the Scarab Bus? It is from one of the old Vehicle Guides. I am working on an old scenario from the West Coast Road Atlas...
I just noticed something. According to Compendium 2ed rules, a passenger in a bus takes up 2 spaces and 200 lbs. Is this errata? Because it would mean that a...
I'm pretty sure that was for passengers travelling in 'luxury'. As the description for this bus says it's more of a working base for scavengers (if memory...
Hello, i'm wanting to sell my lot of car wars items, i have the car wars compendium box set edition 2. a couple of the mini boxed games, road/track set about...
Hi, I am completely new to Car Wars. I understand that it isn't published anymore but I'd like to purchase it. Before I start searching the web for used...
I would get the boxed set. Look for either a blueish box or a black/yellow box. Either one will be labeled "Deluxe Edition". If you get the older blueish box...
... You've got the Blue cover compendium. The Black cover compendium is the one with 144 pages. The Black is considered the "latest" version of hte rules,...
Well, All of them! <G> Actually, the CWC 2.5 (the black and green edition versus the bluish one) has 144 pages as per the last numbered one that I have on...
I know there were several releases of road sections but UI find it hard to believe there are not more custom made versions of these. I coudl make these crudely...
I don't know of any existing PDFs, but if you have a scanner and a few of the original sheets you could produce your own PDFs. If not let me know and I may be...
Well.. I used to play Car Wars a very long time ago, using the original box set, then upgraded to the deluxe edition. Had a blue box. Then all my friends...
Local game stores may have a copy of the CWC, but if they don't, check boardgamegeek (www.boardgamegeek.com). There are people there selling the compendium for...
