<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3">There's a new box set edition of the classic Car Wars out. It's like an updated version of the pocket box set but in a slightly bigger card board box. (Bought my copy at Barnes and Noble). It comes with a double sided map (auto duel arena/ race way), dice, some sheets and tables, rule book, and die cut counters which are very compatible with the Port Loren map.</span></div><div>Any how I thought I'd float the idea of a Car Wars/Star Frontiers conversion. </div><div><br /></div><div>1. Car Wars was a lot of fun. (Plan to introduce my daughters to it soon). </div><div><br /></div><div>2. The SF vehicle combat rules were wonky and cumbersome at best. </div><div><br /></div><div>3. There are a lot of points of congruence between the two systems: body armor as addition Hit Points, electric vehicles and to a certain extent weaponry and equipment.</div><div><br /></div><div>The scope would be to convert Car Wars to metric system (which will require new charts and tables), introduce rules for uniquely SF equipment, hovercycle, defensive screens and etc. Then simply use car Wars rule system to resolve vehicle combat.</div><div><br /></div><div>Aside from being a fun mini game for resolving vehicle combat it could also function as a sports competition for SF PCs, supporting race and demolition derby type activities. </div>
