couple of questions
1) so 1/64 is 25MM scale?
2) where if possible can I get sleeves? 3) where is the new stuff? I needs me more not just cars but stuff to put in them you know. If anyone has skills to design the bits I can print them. |

Re: couple of questions
According to Google, it's about 27mm.

Re: couple of questions
1 ) Yes.
2 ) Per this thread, you want Mini-European card sleeves (I use Gamegenic's, Amazon will have them as should almost any FLGS) and the Ultra-Pro Mini-American 16-up card pages (if you're so inclined): http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread...sleeves&page=4 3 ) Due to larger market conditions in the game industry, slow-dripping expansion releases over time is not a really viable product strategy these days. The current product line basically dumped 5+ years of scheduled expansions all at once at launch. The two major announced products in current development are the companion book, which is more about optional rules and scenarios, and the motorcycles expansion, both of which will see an eventual crowdfunding campaign. Nothing involving further equipment cards is currently announced. [Motorcycles is still in early development, and while they are attempting to have all or most current equipment cards be usable on bikes, nothing is promised, let alone set in stone at the moment. It will probably involve new equipment cards either way though.] This assumes, of course, that you have all four car miniature sets, the armory pack, the crew pack, the dropped weapons pack, etc. If you don't, then that's your next step: https://carwars.sjgames.com/products/expansions/ Somewhere on my long list of upcoming CW-related programming projects is a Weapons Lab that will let you select dice and game effects, then use a tuned machine learning model to ballpark a build-points cost for it. I'll get to it eventually. Last edited by HeatDeath; 10-24-2022 at 11:46 AM. |

Re: couple of questions
I have everything,so I am going to dive right in. I am even going to try and paint some up myself.
The only Thing I really think they can not do in this scale is the Big rigs. buses maybe but not the 18 wheeler. |

Re: couple of questions
for Pedestrians, I like "20mm" scale miniatures. The Drivers from the OOP game Dark Future fit perfectly into most normal-sized HotWheels scale cars, if you like to kitbash some Car Wars models.
I found a few companies that have decent minis for this size, and they look good next to the Car Wars cars! Elhiem is one place, they sell 3D print files for some - that's new since the last time I looked. I use these for GURPS too, so I linked the Pulp Era page. The have neat sci-fi and military figs too that would make good Autoduellists I think.

Re: couple of questions
1:64 scale is 1in to 5.3ft or 28mm to 1.8m
1:72 scale is 1in to 6.0ft or 25mm to 1.8m 1:90 scale is 1in to 7.5ft or 20mm to 1.8m So, 20mm pedestrians would be undersized compared to the cars. 25mm pedestrians are also undersized, but not as much. 28mm pedestrians would be the ones that most closely match the scale of the cars. 28mm scale is also S scale in model railroading. Personally, I would tend to keep the focus on the cars and go with 20mm scale, but then I've never been all that focused on ultra-realism. I'm considering HO scale which is 21mm or 1:87 scale, which have the advantage from my perspective of being not only widely available, but available pre-painted, so I don't have to mess with them at this point. |
