Scott Haring is back for the relaunch of the new edition of Car Wars! Whoot! Yeah, yeah, I know, most of you haven't even played it, but I have, and it was good fun! So looking forward to seeing the old and the new back in print.

I played it a few times. The best part was shopping for car mods in the various catalogs.

Uncle Albert's was awesome. I once had a teacher think that they were real catalogs.

Hey now! Speak for yourself there Tree!
I picked up the Deluxe version back in the mid-80s! Had no idea what the heck I was doing, but dang it was cool.

Pulled out the old set a year or two ago to try it out again and had fun. Even managed a few games on Vassal.

I'm hoping that it will be a Kickstarter along the line of the Ogre Designer Edition. Very glad to see the this coming back.

Yeah Uncle Al's was great - ah the days of Catalogs now long gone. I wonder if they'll stay retro or we'll get an Uncle Al's Website. Now that would be a cool way to do a Hero Lab like program for Car Wars. Customer order your car in Hero Lab/Army Builder and then get a PDF Print out.

Anyway, my favorites were there ADAA Road Atlas.

Not that I've seen Car Wars in the last 18 yrs, but I have a series of race track pieces with one-inch 'spaces' that can be printed from their pdfs onto card stock, cut out, and assembled to make a lot of varying type tracks that I think would work with Car Wars movement in anyone is interested.

I'm very interested in this project. I can't remember if I got to play this in the 80's, but a friend of mine had it. I remember the Uncle Albert's book. I'll have to keep abreast of this one.
