Collected Car Wars Classic Errata

[swordtart]

ADQ&A in ADQ 6-3 page 46.
Noel Hendrickson's question 7. BDE answers (Ben Elliger?).

Q. Does a FOJ cause a D3 hazard or add D3 to a manoeuvre.
A. It just adds a D3 to any manoeuvre or hazard. There is no hazard from the flame damage.

The next question asks pretty much the same thing for a flame cloud and again the damage from the flames does not generate a hazard, it is a flat D2 for hitting the cloud.

If you have a six wheel chassis you will be taking an extra 2D-4 damage under the UACFH rule, and if you were driving a trike it would be 1d-2 less and for a motorcycle you would only take 3 x 1d-2 (since you have no underbody armour to affect it is resolved as a single attack to one random internal component). More wheels mean you take more damage and are more likely to crash?

My experience on two wheels tells me that isn't right ;)

I think the flame weapons rules are broken anyway, flames shouldn't do damage unless they set you on fire.

I'd vote for flat D3 and no hazard from the damage.

[Magesmiley]

Ok, I'm convinced that the flat D3 is probably the right answer. If no one objects, I will add it to the list.

Errata reported, but not yet confirmed

Page 54, Trike Combat, Arcs of Fire: In the last paragraph replace all references to linked with smart linked.
Per the Q & A in Pyramid #8, which required smart links to aim R/L weapons on trikes with those on other sides.

Page 56, Weapons, Dropped Liquids, Flaming Oil Jet: Replace the sentence beginning with "The burning slick is..." with the following: "The burning slick does 1d-2 damage to the tires and underbody of vehicles that pass through it, causes a D3 hazard, and is treated like a regular oil slick for all other hazards and maneuvers."

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Cars, Joseph Special: The car has PR tires instead of HD tires.

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Cars, Mauler (and Superzapper option): The car should have a fire extinguisher. The cost is $22,225 ($24,267 for the Superzapper option).

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Cars, Bodyguard, Bodyguard Shadrach: Weight should be 5,940 lbs. and Top speed 90.

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Cars, Ventura: Rename this to the Ventura LT. The vehicle costs $31,865, weighs 7325 lbs., and has a cargo capacity of 475 lbs. Top speed empty is 92.5, loaded is 90. The rename is to distinguish the design from the version of the Ventura in the Compendium, which also includes HD Shocks and Plasticore tires.

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Cycles, Shogun 200: The motorcycle should have an HC of 2.

Page 61, Sample Vehicles, Trikes, Blastmaster: Replace the link connecting all RLs with a smart link. $14,846, 3499 lbs. HC 2, and Top speed 90.

Updated to include reported items through 05/09/2016

And the list at the top has been updated.

Sorry to resurrect this , but I can't find my copy of Pyramid #8 & I'm getting a lot of flak on Combat Garage for insisting that Trikes REQUIRE A SMARTLINK to Fire identical Weapons on the Left & Right sides .

Actually had to remove one of my designs due to the 'Designer Notes' becoming 3 times longer than the vehicle stats because of this ...

So now I can post a link easily to this & they can see what I'm talking about .

[Parody]

Pyramid #8's Q&A list is linked in the stickied List of Car Wars Articles in Pyramid thread, FWIW.

The CWRQ/ODQ tournament rules allow trikes to shoot left+right weapons together without a smartlink; ideally people would allow for both depending on the declared ruleset.

Excellent & thank you very much :-D
