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...
I'd suggest that you keep lurking on ebay. Eventually a cheap one will show up. That's how I got mine. I'm curious to know if you find a group. I'm in ...
Okay I broke down and spent more than I wanted, and now I am just paranoid that maybe I got the wrong book. How many versions of the CWC are there?? According...
I just sent away for a CWC and going by the picture it is a black cover with green writing. If I am really lucky this might be 2.5 even! :) Yes avoid 5th...
I just bought the Deluxe Boxed Set on half.com for $25. Boy, was I happy! I looked ALL OVER the Internet and couldn't find it. Use the ISBN number for...
I'm curious to know about groups too! Is Waltham the one in UK? If so at least we are in the same continent, I am in Bolton, Lancs! Haven't seen or heard of...
Mark: I was in the same boat. I got rid of all may Caw Wars stuff in 2000 when I got married. But in the last two weeks - no lie - I completely rebuilt it...
... I'd be interested in that too, please?? Also, sorry to hear I am yet again the only Gamer in the village, darn it, there are so many towns over the other...
... I cheat by using professional CAD equipment. I prefer my local property appraiser's aerials since they have a higher base resolution, but the procedure...
I think that you got the right one... If you got this one, <img src=http://images.boardgamegeek.com/images/pic112853_t.jpg>, then nope, it's CWC2. You want...
Most of the folks I knew, in our later years of playing CW, abandoned the quarter inch grids entirely. I have been known to draw entire maps at size A1 using...
... Has anyone tried to build some terrain to use with Car Wars? I've been thinking about taking a piece of hardboard and paint it dark grey (for asphalt) and...
I've also done it both ways, with and without grids, particularly when using "Hot Wheels" cars in a Club game; the "Arena" was a table- tennis table, quite...
I have use terrain but found it to be a pain when using a turning key. However if the terrain is movable and can be put back exactly where it was then it does...
If the conventional 9-sided turning key gets in the way, consider making a set of smaller keys, one for each manoeuvre. If there's room for the car to make the...
There are some card stock buildings that I used for battle tech that worked rather well. www.//sarna.net/files/media/cardstock/ I believe that you can size...
I've used matchbox scale for so long that I can't remember what the rules actually say. (My books are packed away at home.) What is the official scale for car...
... The official scale that all the original counters and maps used was 1/180. That is, 1 inch in game scale would be 15 feet in real life. When playing at...
