<CORRECTION SHOULD BE DAN MYERS WHO AUTHORED THIS>
A couple of images are also to be added - see the CWML
homepage
during the next few days.
A. The limousine marker will be a half inch by one and one
half
inches (1/2" x 1 1/2").
B. All suspension modifications are to be at normal cost.
Suspension modifications are not negated for a limousine (a
heavy suspension for a luxury limo is a +3).
C. All chassis modifications are to be at normal cost.
D. Targeting a limousine is a plus one (+1) on the sides
and top
of the vehicle. Normal targeting modifiers for front
and back
of vehicle.
E. The three body styles are:
TYPE COST WT.
MAX. LD. SPACES ARMOR
Luxury $1,600 2,700 8,250
32(9) $40 / 17lb
Sedan $1,400 2,550 7,650
27(6) $36 / 15lb
Midsize $1,200 2,400 7,200
22(3) $32 / 13lb
F. If a limousine is equipped with a heavy chassis it must
be
equipped with a third axle ($100) to provide proper weight
distribution, HC stays the same. A limousine can be equipped with
a fourth axle at regular cost ($100) with a minus one (-1) to its
HC.
G. A Luxury & Sedan Limousine can be equipped with two
one space
turrets (on the same level) or one of any size that the cars are
allowed (a Luxury Limo. can mount the maximum size a Luxury car
can). When mounting a single turret specify if the turret is on
the F or B of the roof (turret locations are not separate armor
locations). A Midsize Limousine can not mount two one space
turrets. All Limousines can mount one three space turret
centermass on the vehicle (turret in the middle of the roof.)
H. A limousine can NOT mount a tank gun, but any other CAR
WARS
weaponry is legal.
I. All normal driving difficulties (D1 to D3 drifts and
D1 to D4
turns) have no added effect on the limousine. Any greater
difficulty will be increased by a D1(a D5 turn is increased to a
D6).
J. Acceleration, top speed, and range is calculated the
same way
for standard cars.
K. A Limousine is equipped with a standard CB radio and
intercom
system between the passenger(s) to the driver.
L. The allotted space is for passengers (a passenger accommodation
three spaces and 200 lb.) which is included in the weight of
vehicle. The seat(s) equipped like the safety seat. It costs $200
per passenger accommodation.
M. A Limousine can mount any CAR WARS equipment that a car
can
mount.
N. A Limousine can mount any Military equipment that cars
can
mount, but can not be converted into a Military vehicle.
O. A limousine has six armor locations, the roof on the
car can
mount as if it was two locations ( see letter G).
P. A limousine requires a drivers skill to operate the vehicle.

Well it is now time to get
down to designing that limo -
your top dueller or arena manager will surely need something like
this to protect them. What could be better than arriving in a
bullet
proof limo and showering the crowd with bullets?
