He triggered the rear guns once more. A direct hit! The blue car skidded as the driver lost control – then flipped and caught fire.

That would teach him not to tailgate . . .

Car Wars is the game of the freeways of the future, where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players build vehicles complete with weapons, armor, power plants, and more. Then they take them out on the desolate roads, or maybe the brightly lit arenas, to come home as "aces," or to crash and burn. The winners earn fame and cash to upgrade their rides. The losers are left in the dust.

The Car Wars tournament at Dragonflight is played using the Classic (4th edition) Car Wars rules scaled up to 3X the normal play scale, allowing the use of die-cast cars for the event.

The event consists of two parts: the qualifier games and the final.

Qualifier Games

The four qualifier games have eight seats in each game. They are completely independent of one another - you can play in as many or as few as you wish (however if you have played in a prior round, the seats will be given first to players who have not yet played and wish to do so). The top two finishers in each round will progress to the final. One alternate will also be named for each qualifier game. Once a player becomes a finalist, that player can no longer play in the qualifier games.

The four qualifier games start at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.

For the qualifier games, each participant will use a predesigned vehicle created by the host.

The Final

There will be a trophy for the victor of the final to take home!

The final round begins at 7 p.m.

To play in the final you must have first become a finalist (or alternate) through one of the qualifier games. Players will be seated using the following criteria:

1. Designated finalist

2. Alternate from the same qualifier as a designated finalist who is not present.

3. Alternate from any round not yet seated.

For the final round, players may bring a Division 20 vehicle of their own design or use one provided by the host. Custom designs should be provided to the host ASAP. It is recommended that designs be built using The Car Wars Combat Garage. Please use the UACFH and Weight for Personal Equipment options if you use the Combat Garage. Characters will have 50 skill points each.

Good luck! And remember, Drive Offensively!
