        I have recieved a bit of news since the last issue came out,
some of it arriving just after I sent out the old issue (as it
always does).  While there is no special features this issue
(submissions please) a couple are in the pipeline.

        Also, please note the change of the address for the links page.
Iit's now at sjgames.com.

        Just a quick thing - Diary of a Road Duellist will be
returning to HVD.  Much of the special fatures will be devoted to this
event.  Or to be more precise, they will feature extra information
about this subject.  If anyone has any ideas, both for special features
and even a future episode - then please send them in.

NECRODOME:
        I stumbled on this while doing a search for Car Wars - it is
a computer game that has a history very similair to Car Wars - I
don't know how it plays or how similair it is to CW - but it looks
pretty good.  Here is the web page (shareware available):
        'http://www.ravensoft.com/necro.html'

PBEM CAR WARS:
        Duel #3 will start in around September, I won't be refereeing
this one, but please contact me if you are interested in playing.  At
the moment duel #1 is closing down (I'm dead - after rolling and fire)
duel #2 is also continuing on well.  Check out the pages for more
information.

CAR WARS - ASSISTANT EDITOR:
        Recently SJ-Games asked for volounteers to assist the creation
of their online pages.  While the position has been filled (I believe)
- it is still a good idea to put yourself down as available to help.
Support the official pages at least.

ADQ:
        No new updates.

AADA CHAPTERS:

OFFICIAL AADA PAGES:                                    OLD

----------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER CW PAGES:

OFFICIAL CAR WARS HOMEPAGE:                             OLD
        This has seen a few updates in the previous month or so,
included in their updates is a new Car Wars news section.  This

SJ-Games Web-zine for Car Wars.  More information about the
conventions has also been added
                                                Last Mod: 13-MAY

SOPHISTICATED EVENING OF AUTOMOTIVE MAYHEM:             ***
        A new page - which has just popped up - found it on the
SJ-Games site - ppl seem to be sending in their pages to them -
still I scooped them with HASTUR. The SEoAM pages looks pretty good -
in particular if you play in 3D or are looking at starting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
        Next issue will be some limo rules - superior to the ADQ ones
I think - and the possibility of a serial fiction being added.  Thanks
to those who have offered submissions - and remember the CWML and HVD
need more people to do such things.
