There has been a discussion recently on my Car Wars message board about the content and format of new Car Wars sets, games that would be intended for novice and retired veteran autoduelists. Ideas have included plastic videocassette boxes, omission of vehicle design rules, new arenas and new vehicle designs. If any were new Car Wars games were to be produced, should they be in 1.5X (Micro Machines) scale or 3X (Hot Wheels/Matchbox) scale? Should new Car Wars games be compatible with 1.5X or 3X miniatures? The only 1X scale miniatures available are Formula Racers from Khalsa Brain Games, Formula De Pewter Cars and the plastic cars included with each copy of Formula De. Would new Car Wars games with the traditional cardstock counters be acceptible if you could use Micro Machines or Hot Wheels with the games? Would Car Wars games with 1X scale maps and cardstock counters succeed in the marketplace if the rules were well-written, vehicle designs carefully constructed, and the graphic design of the entire set was excellent, or are 3-D materials required for any science fiction/military board game played today? Please post your comments on this newsgroup or add them to the my message board. Dueling Debate: An Auto-Combat Boardgaming Forum http://www.delphi.com/carwars Thanks in advance.
