Thanks, owenmp. I'll look into purchasing the additional CW products later.

Mini CAR WARS is based (I think) on the "Jump Start" rules that were first included with Deluxe CAR WARS. They are extremely simplified and omit a lot of the color of the classic game.

5th Edition CAR WARS includes several slick rules that are very easy to learn and implement that are engineered to be simple-in-play without losing much or the color and fun of the original. The revisions are so thorough... and so integral to the new system, that you cannot summarize them easily without really giving them away in their totality....

Yes, the Mini-CW is based on the "Jump Start" section in Deluxe CW. I had a look at a friend's PDF copy for comparrison.

If all I really need for the 'rules tack-on', as one friend suggested, is any one of the Fifth Edition books, then I'll look into picking up Arena Set 1. I have a local sci-fi/gaming convention coming up in April, I'll start my search there.

Get one of the Division XX books before the Arena Book. The latter doesn't have the rules.

Thanks Jeffr0. I'll see what my local 'con has. With luck, I'll find what I need.
