Custom Car Wars Maps
As someone who's just getting into Car Wars, I'm eager to create my own arenas. I'd be curious to see what other fans have created over the years to get an idea for what is and isn't viable.

I'm pretty sure the Arena book is available in PDF from the online store.

Re: Custom Car Wars Maps
I've been using inkscape to overlay grids and counters on google maps of real places.
I have also been using paint to generate simple representations of roads and arenas (using them as a background again for inkscape to add the counters as an overlay. |

Re: Custom Car Wars Maps
SPARK has a couple on our Arenas download page. Nothing too fancy.
I've also drawn an aquaduel arena, but never bothered to post it. Most of my arena work has been taking the existing arenas and redrawing them for printing at 1.5x scale.

Re: Custom Car Wars Maps
Check out the SWAT cars wars pages for links to all kinds of car wars pages that owen has saved over the years and posted everything to his webpage and keeps updating as things come out. i dont know the linkoff hand buts its easy to look up online as the the "swat car wars page".
I know nova has some stuff along with some other arena on the swat page and other that are linked. |

Here is a couple of home made ones. The Mueller Arena done by Earlburt on this forum is from CW lore taken from SJG material. It's based off an actual out of service airport. Earlburt made quite a few more based on actual listed SJG lore. I'll see if I can find them and post. The other one I made where we did a three car vs three car race. I've made others using the blank map sheets that use to be sold by SJG and which could be purchased on Ebay from time to time. Here you go.. http://geekingmattv.blogspot.fr/2015...st_10.html?m=1 |

Re: Custom Car Wars Maps
Hi!
Are images turned off here in the forum? I tried to post an image of the map the other day, but it was only letting me post a link. Decided to upload it BGG instead, and then re-post here: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepa...burg-arena-pdf Inspired by jimmylogan's local mall down in Dyersburg, Tennessee for some eventual use in his PBEM games. Definitely not symmetrical as discussed earlier in this thread by Curt, but gates are separated into pairs, which are all equidistant to each other. So hopefully no initial advantages. :) |

Re: Custom Car Wars Maps
Yeah, that's kind of how we prefer it, for both administrative and bandwidth reasons. A few admin types can post graphic files, but we recommend the approach you already figured out -- post it elsewhere and then put a link on these forums.
