Car Wars: Quick Reference Sheet

Game Sequence
1. 2. Dice off to see who goes first. Turn 10 phases movement

Acceleration & Deceleration (p.5)

Acceleration is not a hazard. Deceleration can take place a 10mph per turn without danger. Deceleration at a greater speed requires a roll on Crash Table 1.

Movement (p.4)
Each Turn has 5 Phases whereby movement and shooting takes place. 1. All Drivers and Pedestrians make their movements according to speed during certain phases. 2. Fastest Vehicle/Pedestrian moves first. 3. See Movement Chart for phases. 4. Vehicles can make one manoeuvre per phase at 1. 5. Vehicles may at beginning of each phase accelerate or decelerate up to vehicles rates. 6. All rolls and Crash Table results are made before normal movement.

Deceleration @ 20mph: D2 manoeuvre @ 25mph: D3 manoeuvre @ 30mph: D5 manoeuvre @ 35mph: D7 manoeuvre (tires take 2 hits) @ 40mph: D9 manoeuvre (tires take 1d hits) @ 45mph: D11 manoeuvre (tires take 1d+3) @ 45mph +: Impossible in one turn

Handling Class & Skill Tests (p.5)

Each vehicle has a Handling Class that determines how manoeuvrable it is. The higher the HC the better. Reflex Roll: each player rolls d6. on a 5 or 6 the HC is raised by 1 as the driver has excellent reflexes. The Reflex roll can be modified by Drivers Skill (Driver +2 gets to add 2 to the Reflex dice roll) Vehicles that lose a tire reduce its HC by 3. More than 1 tire is lost go to Crash Table 1 and decelerates by 30mph per each full turn. Difficulty of the Manoeuvre (D) directly affects the handling class of the vehicle (HC 3 attempts a manoeuvre D4 = HC 1, then a manoeuvre D2 = HC 3)

Manoeuvres (p.6)
Bends: - up to 15 - D1 16 to 30 - D2 31 to 45 - D3 46 to 60 D4 61 to 75 D5 76 to 90 D6 Drift: (1 forward and either side D1 Man) (1 forward and either side D3 Man) Swerve: drift followed by turn (see Bend) Difficulty equivalent to the bend Controlled Skid: Make a bend as normal, declare how far you want to skid. Skid +D1 to bend/swerve you make, -1 aimed fire, no deceleration, no tire dam. Skid - +D2 to bend/swerve you make,-3 to aimed weapons, -5 mph, no tire dam. Skid - +D3 to bend/swerve you make, -6 to aimed weapons, -5 mph, 1pt dam to each tire. 1 Skid - +D4 to bend/swerve you make, no aimed fire for rest of turn, -10 mph, 2pts of dam to each tire.
