I get the idea that you don't want to have to decode a bunch of cryptic messages in order to play the game but here on the Car Wars forum, it saves quite a bit of time to just abbreviate. |

Re: Car Wars 6e polls give me a sad feeling
The thread is starting to wander afield. Wrap up the sub-discussion of abbreviations, please.

Re: Car Wars 6e polls give me a sad feeling
I did want to say I've never played ogre (watched many times) or CW I backed the 150 and voted to redesign CW from the ground up..

And this is an excellent example of what all of us, including myself, need to remember: Every single person has a different opinion on what is and isn't right for Car Wars.

I liked the weapon card idea. Pull a weapon and place face up in the direction it fires.

Re: Car Wars 6e polls give me a sad feeling
The biggest issue I can see with weapon cards is that it increases setup time and complexity. I suspect that we'd be better off with vehicle sheets that have the information printed on them.

Re: Car Wars 6e polls give me a sad feeling
FWIW, I suggest that merely as an illustrative example. Cards are one option, record sheets are another. Then there are special dice, creative use of different markers, and surely many others. I wouldn't want to derail things further into getting into the merits of a specific set of components.

Re: Car Wars 6e polls give me a sad feeling
Seriously? If we've moved to the point where discussions aren't even allowed to wander from the original topic without being closed or censored, could you post some new rules for this forum? Because it's getting unrecognizable!
