question about compendium differences
So I have the blue "2nd edition" compendium, but the errata I find posted online doesn't match the pages in the book I own. For example there is errata for page 143, but my book only has 112 pages!
One difference I've found between the rules in the recent "Classic" and what I have is that the targeting modifier for paint/smoke is -1 per half inch rather than a flat two. I'd love to find out what the other changes where that were made between my printing of 2nd and the final one, but I'm not sure where! Thanks. |

Re: question about compendium differences
The latest compendium is the green/black one (called the 2.5e Compendium)
http://www.sjgames.com/car-wars/games/compendium/ The 'blue' one is older, there were rules updates. I think the errata refers to the green/black compendium Couldn't give you a list of changes from the two but look at the year of publication and compare it to Uncle Al's Catalog from Hell which was also an attempt to finalize the rules. I believe the 2.5e Compendium is the definitive rulebook on second edition CW because it was the last to be published, followed by UACFH Quote:

Re: question about compendium differences
All of that is incorporated in my book, which says second edition but has the blue cover.

Re: question about compendium differences
Another difference i've found between Blue 2nd edition and Black 2.5 is the section on Jumping/Falling in 2.5, which is not in the one I have.
The other as I said was the change to targeting modifiers through paint. Again, I'd love to find a comprehensive list of changes between these editions. |

Re: question about compendium differences
I seem to recall a change in the grenade rules between the two as well.

Re: question about compendium differences
Another question: is there a difference between the 96 and 98 Deluxe Editions besides the cover art?

Keep in mind too that earlier Deluxe Editions had the Deluxe Car Wars rulebooks rather than the Compendium. And that these had the same box cover art as the DCW containing the blue cover Compendium.
