Re: Cars Wars 6E - What We Know - 1st Post will be updated over time
We're not yet ready offering up a release date. At the moment, I am personally leaning toward a situation where the game doesn't release until one year or so after a successful Kickstarter project. We have a lot of big bits of Car Wars planned, and it would be better to take the time to do it right than to rush.

I agree Car Wars Sixth Edition should not be rushed, however I hope it will be published in time for 2021, the year when Car Wars celebrates its 40th anniversary.
The Kickstarter should offer a replica Pocket Box that holds a USB drive inside. The USB drive would contain Car Wars materials.

Well, at 9 years after the original announcement (2012) of a new edition [nearly a quarter of the game's lifespan] it ought to be polished to a fine luster. ;)

We aren't afraid to wait 27 years if that is what it takes (see Triplanetary for proof).

I don't even recall seeing it in stores. I remember Ogre and GEV and Car Wars. Car Wars is what called me to the game store weekly during the 80's. I'm sure GDW had lots of great games like Traveller, But I wasn't nearly as interested in them as I was in SJ Games. So I'm not nearly as interested in seeing GDW games getting reprints now as I am in SJ Games. I wish you all the best of luck with Triplanetary. BUT I'll be saving my Money for Car Wars. |

At this rate, we won't need to save any money because CW won't be coming out in our lifetimes. SJG sees fit to let Haring go, and kickstart everything else. I have significant nostalgia for the game that led me to become a Mech Eng but I am quickly losing hope that it is even the smallest priority for the company.

We understand that many of you are anxious to see the game. We would love to say "We are ready!" That would be an inaccurate statement at this time.
We will make an announcement when the game is ready for Kickstarter.

Deep breaths.
We've known since July that competing priorities were going to back burner Car Wars till 2018. In the greater scheme of things, this is not that long a wait. |

So it goes, I trust SJGames to bring us this game when they are ready. Hopefully sooner, rather than latter.
Please note that they no longer make impulsive promises on their Kickstarters like they did on OGRE, they've learned not too. Life is a learning process.
