1997 AVRO Club Championships
Arena

Here's something new! A rough VRML version of the arena is now available for viewing at http://www.interchg.ubc.ca/brucel/1997/arena.wrl (Warning: Big file - 120 Kb). To view this file, you will need a Netscape plug-in or a 3-D viewer. You can probably pick one up at the VRML Repository at http://sdsc.edu/vrml/.

Construction:

• 36 inch x 30 inch arena
• center pyramid-type buildings are 45 degree jumps
• all buildings are 6(3); 6 DP is necessary to create a breach & only 3 breaches to destroy a building
• gas pumps are 6 DP
• 2 pit stops are available (location yet to be determined)
• race checkpoints are 4.5" squares at the corners of the arena
• trees, bushes, and other stuff are 2 DP

Special Rules:

• Powerful weapons can create several breaches with a single shot. However, the distance penalty gets successively worse for each wall you blast through (i.e. the walls disperse your shot). After your shot has created its first breach has been made, subtract the breach damage from the damage rolled. The next line of sight wall may be hit (if your shot still has enough power to breach it); however, the distance penalty will be multiplied by 2 (multiplier increases by 1 for each wall the shot hits). Apply the new penalties to your to-hit roll to see if you hit.
  
  
• It is possible to blast through a wall and hit the vehicle on the other side of it. However, this vehicle must be declared as the target of the blast before the shot is made. Otherwise, the vehicle will always be missed. Apply all normal targeting penalties plus the distance penalty multiplier as in the above point (e.g. if blasting through 2 walls to hit a vehicle, the multiplier would be 3).
  
  
• Missed shots at vehicles can still hit buildings that are in line of sight. Normal penalties to hit a building apply.
  
  
• When a building is destroyed, it begins to fall. For 5 full phases after the destroying breach, the building will be collapsing. Before the 5th phase, all previous breaches will still be accessible (i.e. you can still go through them); during the 5th, they are inaccessible (i.e. you have to make a breach to get out). During the collapsing stage, vehicles that are inside have a 1 in 6 chance of taking 1 die of vehicular damage to their top armour each second or fraction thereof. After the 5th phase, the building is considered rubble.
  
  
• Any vehicle unfortunate enough to be caught inside will take 3 dice of vehicular damage to their top armour. These caught victims will then have their current speeds reduced by 50 mph and their acceleration reduced by 15. If their speed drops to zero or less, their vehicles are stuck (still able to fire or exit their vehicles). If they are still able to move, they will no longer have the acceleration penalty after they have moved 1" through the rubble.
  
  
• If a vehicle without OR suspension runs into a patch rubble, it will be decelerated to zero immediately and will take damage as hit hitting a fixed object with a DM of 1/2.
  
  
• Exiting at or before 30 seconds will result in the loss of the firepower & maneuver point values left on one's vehicle.
  
  
• After 30 seconds, points from building breaches and destroying buildings will not count, the pit stop will be non-functional, and exiting will not result in a point reduction.
  
  
• If a gas pump is destroyed, it will create a pool of oil around it (1" radius). If oil is hit by incendiary weapon, it will automatically burst into flame (will burnout after 5 seconds); if hit by a non-incendiary weapon, then 3 in 6 chance of flame.
  
  
• If a gas pump is destroyed by an incendiary weapon, it will cause a 1" radius explosion, doing 1 die of vehicular damage. A 5" high fiery geyser (1/2" x 1/2") will remain where the gas pump used to be (same damage as flame cloud). A 1" radius flaming oil area will surround the remains of the gas pump (will not burnout). This result will not occur if gas pump has already been destroyed by a non-incendiary weapon (safety have already kicked in).
