Sadly, it looks like I'm not going to be able to participate in this project. I just won't have the cash free in time.

That said, I've been ruminating on Boat Wars. Even if I was contributing, I don't think I'd miss it if it wasn't included in this campaign. It's not directly compatible with the other Car Wars Pocket Boxes, being more of a spin-off. It also started the "vehicles bloat" that so plagued the game in its later years. I'd almost rather see it saved for the potential Could Have Been campaign, as a theoretical revised Pocket Box edition. The same goes for Aeroduel and Tanks, though I suspect those would require more substantial editorial work to make them fully playable - and new art.

Just pondering here.
