Do you play miniature wargames on the tabletop which feature cars shooting at each other, similar to Mad Max?
mwindsorfw	10 Jun 2017 5:18 p.m. PST
Yes

It does sound fun and first time I ever heard about this was at a convention but no. Would only make me cry more over all the Matchboxes and Hot Wheels I threw away 40 some years ago.

As a matter of fact, I just got back from NJcon where I played in a great Mad Max game put on by the Metropolitan Wargamers. Some pix: link

I used to play Car Wars. Now our group does an occasional GorkaMorka game updated to things like Fallujah etc.

No.

Used to play Car Wars a lot, by that I mean we spent hours designing cars and then 20 minutes tops gaming out the battle. Said battles never lasted more than 10 turns – so 10 seconds in game time.
Emphatz	10 Jun 2017 6:46 p.m. PST
Car Wars…Of course
DisasterWargamer	10 Jun 2017 6:51 p.m. PST

Not any more. Used to play GorkaMorka, albeit a rather heavily modified version thereof.

I35 every day going to work and back. I have built up an impressive imaginary kill list of ^@$^&&&&# drivers using my front and rear mounted gatlings.
KSmyth	11 Jun 2017 3:20 p.m. PST
No, but it kinda looks like fun.
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut	11 Jun 2017 7:35 p.m. PST
I used to play Gorkamorka. My group disbanded before I finished my Diggas. I loved that game. I still have my books.
zircher	11 Jun 2017 7:42 p.m. PST
Hey Waco Joe, we're playing the same game! I prefer twin MGs for the front and a mine layer in the trunk. cough Maybe some Car Wars back in the day, too.
Andoreth	13 Jun 2017 12:50 p.m. PST
Played a few games of Dark Future when it came out but most of the figures I bought for it are still unpainted.
Ghostrunner	13 Jun 2017 1:59 p.m. PST
Sorely tempted to get back into Car Wars, but after games like X-Wing I'm not sure I want to go back to that level of minute detail. The big draw for me is just being able to buy a bunch of cheap Hot Wheels cars, adding some greeblies to them, and maybe use a few obstacles.
Lost Wolf	13 Jun 2017 5:02 p.m. PST
Want to.

The only Car Combat Games I play is when I'm trying to get a Handicap parking place at the Y, Plaza or Mall !!
