3X Car Wars Web Site: Missing Roadway Templates

[owenmp]

From 1997 to 1999, Car Wars player Doug Maltais operated the 3X Car Wars Web site that was removed from the Internet in 2000.

I have a complete archive of the 3X Car Wars Web site except I am missing the Roadway Templates, 3X Car Wars scale highway sections, that were on the 3X Car Wars Web site.

Car Wars player Jim Businger created the Roadway Templates.

The Roadway Templates were on the 3X Car Wars Web site in a Zip folder and as a Microsoft Word file.

The Internet Archive Wayback Machine did not capture a functional Zip folder, and did not capture the Microsoft Word file.

Does anyone have a copy of the Roadway Templates that can be shared with me? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Michael

Freeway Fun (Roadway Templates)

A super-helpful duellist by the name of Jim Businger has donated some great paper templates for 3XCW-scale highway sections. In Jim's words:

I've always like the MAD MAX part of this game, so here's the first installment of something you and adversaries (freinds) might have a little fun with. I call it Freeway Fun.

I created it using MS-Word 7.0 (Office 95). I use continuous 8.5" x 11" paper in an IBM proprinter III to print the five pages (page 1: shoulder w/ditch / page 2: five lanes / page 3: median w/ditch / pages 4: five lanes / page 5: shoulder w/ditch). The "lane" on the first and last page is where you park when your car breaks down (it should have debris and wrecked cars). The grey band is the gravel at the edge of the pavement. The gravel and beyond (as well as the median) should present a handling hazard at speed. Narrower freeways can be made by separating the 1st and 5th pages and overlapping them on the lane pages. I don't recommend printing this on a LASER printer, as they usually have unprintable areas at the margins.
