Various tools and game aids to help intrepid Car Wars players and gamemasters become more efficient and effective at planning and executing their game play. Special commentary from our beloved president (who is also a raving lunatic) will elucidate (or further confuse) the functions of these various items.

Arena Designing - Sample Arenas - Town Arena

The Town Arena was first tested in the 1996 Club Championships. This arena celebrates mass destruction on a large scale. Points were awarded for destroying the buildings. It was used for the 1997 combined Club Duelling & Racing Championships.

Construction | Road Conditions | Special Rules | Point System

Construction

36 inch x 48 inch town arena
center buildings are 45 degree jumps
all buildings are 6(3); 6 DP is necessary to create a breach & only 3 breaches to destroy a building
the elevated helicopter pad in the center is actually a pit stop
lamp poles, street signs, fire hydrants, garbage cans, gas pumps and telephone boxes are 3 DP each (only 1 breach needed to destroy)

Road Conditions

Road

streets & sidewalks are normal road

hitting curb = D3 hazard

hitting curb at wheelchair accessible areas = D1 hazard

Rubble

rubble areas are off-road

entering rubble areas is a D4 hazard

when entering rubble, roll tire damage as if hitting debris (no additional hazard)

Special Rules

No dropped weapons (except paint or smoke) are allowed on the center pit stop. If a dropped weapon counter is placed on the pit stop, 2 points per 1/4 x 1/4" square will be penalized against the offending player. The dropped weapon counter will be immediately removed and opponents will not be harmed. Obstacles, debris (not from Junkdroppers), paint and smoke are allowed in this area.
Exiting at or before 30 seconds will result in the loss of the firepower & maneuver point values left on one's vehicle.
After 30 seconds, points from building breaches and destroying buildings will not count, the pit stop will be non-functional, and exiting will not result in a point reduction.
