Help With Unclear Maneuver

Cowboy Tanaka · 01-21-2018, 12:17 AM

I just got Car Wars yesterday and while reading through the rules I dont quite understand how to do a bootleggers reverse. I understand the first part where you bend or skid, but in figure 6 I dont understand exactly what maneuver was used to get to point B and I dont understand at all how to finish the maneuver and how the car ends up at point C. Thanks in advance for your help. :)

The manoeuvre is a special all in one D7. It is not a combination of other manoeuvres.

You always move to the intermediate stage in the phase you try the manoeuvre.

If you make the control roll the next phase you move to the end position. If you fail then you move according to the results of the crash table as though the intermediate position was your start point.

This is pretty clear in the 2.5 compendium, it may be less clear in other editions. Which version did you just buy?

Thanks for the reply! It is 4th edition.

Now I don't understand t-stops lol. Do I just follow the diagram the same as you do for a bootlegger? Does the speed you are going not effect the distance moved when performing a t-stop?

From the text: "The car then continues skidding sideways until it slows to a halt." (Decelerating 20 MPH and taking 1 point of tire damage per inch moved.)

So does it just skid in one inch increments until it reaches 0 mph?
