Well,

Here i am at home. The wife is out for the night, (I will miss her, but she will be back)

So I am left home to to look after the house and the pets. So, here I am. A little board, little lonely and I re watch those Mad Max clips. Those 3 movies are my favorites.

So, maybe tonight will be the night and I sit down and watch all 3 movies again! Its been a year since i last watched them all.

Or maybe I will try for a duel again tonight? Gosh,…

So, I went and made a road sections extension for ShotGun's Vassal mod. People like it, and just want the ability to flip to debris littered versions of the sections. OK so far.

Except I get stuck on the point of making the debris look really good. I mean, it's debris! Can't I just relax about it? And then I get an even worse idea in my head. Why stop at the familiar old three-lane roads? Why not do up some two-lanes? Or narrow lane pieces?

Sigh...

So…

NADA is going to annouce that a Division 10 Event will be held Friday Night, Febuary 1st starting at 10pm EST.

This event (which I feel will be the "Vortex Arena") will last for a max of 4 hours. It will be open to 8 drivers. No need for jumping rules, so do not worry about that.

The Event will be open for all League duelist and anyone else for that matter. The Event a modifed Vortex Event.

1) All duelist will be at a rolling start 2 cars side by side ( in a random or…

My boys, Dusty, and I have been dueling every Sunday this month. Sunday (27th) Dusty was unable to come over so I was going to introduce my nephews to the game. My daughter shanghaied the living so she and her friends could watch LOTR:ROTK. Her reasoning was that if she plugged in a movie that Daddy liked he'd forget to play Car Wars.

Dang it if she wasn't right.

We'll get that duel in yet. I REALLY need a win for WADA.

Hello

Just proud to say that we have two of us in the top 10!

And that I have my eye on the top spots! we're comming for you D.R.I.V.E.

Finished adapting the Riverwalk Arena to Vassal - CW 3.0. Curious little arena. Not often you see a layout that blocks turret fire, but allows the body-mounted guns to connect. And the ramps could easily cause trouble if you're not careful. Find the mod at NADA - Yahoo. Find the excellent original at:

I can not thank Mr. Cassavant enough for his permission to do this.

ACTION REPORT - CAR WARS, AMATEUR NIGHT

FCLife Autoduel Centre

London, Ontario

19th January, 2058

This FCLife Autoduel Centre is laid out as a rectangle with rounded corners. Each corner has a series of low, curving walls making fiv…

I know it's just getting the word out and promoting a game, but after cross-posting the same "last call" message for the Amateur Night at the FLAC to four different forums/groups, I feel a little dirty.

I think I'll go off and work on these Car Wars-scaled road sections for Games Workshop's Dark Future. Maybe that'll make me feel better.

Spent Sunday evening reworking my little autocombat website, on the theory that I'm probably gonna keep making stuff for downloading and should have it organized and presented all shiny like. Turns out I missed an invitation to a duel from ShotGun Jolly.

Now, which would have been more fun?

"Spit Fire" by ShotGun Jolly:

Well, I've taken the plunge and announced to the world that I'll be running a game of Car Wars on VASSAL. Which means I'll have to finish up the last details of the map, straighten out my notes on the arena and event, set the vehicle designs, turn it all into an .MDX file and post it.

THAT in turn means I'll have enough stuff on my little webpage to make it worthwhile to divvy it up and make a half-decent website out of it…

If I don't get any of the following done in a reasonable length of time, please feel free to demand to know what's wrong with me, or point and laugh, or whatever.

1. Expand the map for the FCLife Autoduel Centre to include the pit areas, grandstands, concessions & offices, etc., or at least a decent portion of the stuff surrounding the arena proper.

1 and a half. Actually play a game via Vassal on the…

Greetings,

After losing my vast collection of CW items in flood waaaay back in '89. I have been re-purchasing my collection. My sons are now 2nd generation duelists. We have been enjoying the game immensely.

I'm trying to get a revised timeline going to bring us up to date in 2057.
