But, as usual, the images raise more questions up than they answer. :) My short list: * No top and underbody armor? * The meanings of the various symbols on the weapons cards (cube, target, flame, red number in black, hex that looks like a nut, white number in red hex, AADA logo), etc. * Spray weapon for flamethrowers? * Anything cool on the back of the HUD? Seems like a good spot for some quick references rules.

It's good to see movement on the game. I'm loving the dashboards.

The "Dashboard": It appears hideously fiddly to me, but we knew these sorts of things were coming. Be careful when using color to designate things, as color-blind folks may have problems. ObFacebook: Blah blah whine blah yuck. :) Glad to see you're still plugging away at it.

I think the damage triangle means that the side that the weapon is mounted on of the FIRING vehicle takes a die of damage when fired. Since all we can see is single shot weapons and two of the pictures are rockets/missiles, my guess would be backblast.

That looks great! And useful to keep track of status of all items. Not that paper and pencil are bad, but this looks cool while being handy.

I must say - that full car status board is very cool.
Why didn't we think of that sooner?! |

It looks interesting. Will there be a demo at any of next year's cons, or are things still too early in R&D to really say?

I'm curious to see how the entire picture will appear. It's hard to tell at this stage more than what the dash has and the prospect that we will use cards for weapons and such. If the earlier video is any clue then we will see x-wing styled turn/speed keys. I don't want to assume anything, but so far it appears to at least loosely follow that model for games.
I kinda wish the models were 20mm, but the difference in scale is small enough I imagine one can use the larger size and change nothing. |

Still curious about what sizes the Various Cards will be.
I'm hoping that they are common sizes like... Standard Card Game size [2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (63.5 x 88 MM)] or Mini American Board Game size [1 5/8" x 2 1/2" (41x63 MM)] Because several companies already offer a wide range of Protective Sleeves, Binder pages, and Folios for both these sizes. You can fit the Car Wars Card Game cards in Standard American Board Game sleeves [2 1/4 X 3 1/2 IN (56 X 87mm)] but there very few dedicated storage solutions for these size cards. I'm also hoping that the card stock is a bit heavier than the Car Wars Card Game cards. Something like the card stock from the Illuminati CCG would be nice. |
