Autoduelling in Tokyo

I've recently been making maps for Car Wars online. I came across an article about autodueling in Tokyo. After the great quake of 2009, Tokyo was abandoned. Sections of the city were later walled off to create arenas inside the city.
Picture small suped up armored cars zipping throughout the narrow city streets shooting Vulcan machine guns at each other and dropping spikes and mines to prevent from being tailed.
Here are a couple pictures of the Tokyo Arena map I have made.

Car Wars Online

I haven't faired too well on my return to Car Wars. But here's me in my Black Caddy dropping mines to thwart that guy from blasting another one of my sides.

This is a typical ending for me. Someone rammed me in the side going 70 mph. I'm still looking to win my first event. And I've learned I hate ram cars.

Battletech

Along with Car Wars I use to play Battletech when I was young. I found a couple people at the local gaming club that wanted to play some Battletech again, so we got some figures and had a few games of Battletech. Here are some snaps from three different games.

Car Wars Miniatures

Living in Tokyo you can find all kind of models and replicas. I ran into some two inch cars a while back and it got me wanting to do Car Wars in miniature. I wasn't able to get my local group very interested, but I still modified and painted up some Car Wars miniatures. I did discover that Car Wars is played on the internet using Vassal and I have been doing so quite a bit lately.
Here are some of my cars and the setup for an event I held during a club meeting.

First Blog, (so it's kind of a test)

I've always wanted to keep a history with pictures of my gaming. Here is goes.
Here are a couple of pictures of a small sci-fi skirmish game I put together. I've always wanted to do a shootout in a car parking lot, and I finally found some cars that fit with the 1/72 plastic figures I have. I painted up some modern or furturistic military guys, modified some other figures to look alien like and added some quick terrain. The rules we used were a simplification of Battleground WWII rules.
