Map for Turn 4

The order for movement is:

Mediocrates, Noxious Vapus, Late Entrant, Maximillion Flips, Kongus Minimus, Justinian, Callimacus.

Mediocrates moves at max speed, no whip in lane 5. (I'll change my mind about the "no Whip" in the future!)


He pulls alongside Callimacus and rams his car. Callimacus stands and takes the attack. It's vicious! But although Callimacus suffers damage to the wheel, he manages to avoid flipping! Mediocrates continues moving past Callimacus, switches out one lane to avoid Maximillion Flips and looks back over his shoulder, laughing!


[TeamSpeed=15+DriverMod=1=16,no whip,=16]
[3d6=17=defender only, 2d6=11=4 damage to right wheel]

Noxious Vapus stays in lane 6 and goes for maximum power, shooting ahead!
[TeamSpeed=21+DriverMod=0=21,whip=2, turnspeed=23]

Late Entrant spares the whip, and moves into lane 3.
[TeamSpeed=21+DriverMod=0=21,no whip=21, but turnspeed=17]

Maximillion Flips keeps to lane speed - is he out for a sunday spin?
[TeamSpeed=20+DriverMod=0=20,No whip, but turnspeed=17]

Kongus Minimus, perhaps a little dazed from the corner, moves very slowly!
[TeamSpeed=20+DriverMod=1=21,No Whip, but turnspeed=8]

Justinian is also on a go slow. Drearyville!
[TeamSpeed=18+DriverMod=2,No whip, but turnspeed=12]

Callimacus recovers from his attack and continues at a steady speed. He gives a two finger salute as he goes past his attacker!
[TeamSpeed=18+DriverMod=1=19, No whip, but turnspeed=15]

And the PRESS says...

Justinian to the slow heavy dudes: Don't let them get away or we'll just have

to fight it out between each other!

psychopath to Justinian: erm, too late? Wait for them to come around and lap you?!

psychopath to all #1: Thanks for being patient and waiting - this game is a lot of fun to GM and I hope you are enjoying playing too. I doubt whether I have lost any of you because of the delay. Hope not! I've set a fairly tight deadline for turn 5 - hope you can all make it. IF it's going to cause problems, please let me know as soon as possible!

psychopath to all #2: As a general rule, can I recommend you don't spend too long thinking about your orders because you won't know the order of play until it is drawn! You should therefore NOT try and make your orders dependent on what the order of play is, you should just make orders in the simple manner I suggested when I sent the initial mails out. I've repeated it here for reference:

(a) your proposed turn speed (default=max)

(b) whether you wish to use your whip on your horses this turn (default=N)

(c) a preference list for attacks, and how you will attack (default=ram)

(d) for each attack, how vindictive do you want to be? (default=no attack)

(e) A preference for the lane you wish to finish in (default=same as now)

(f) Your defence preferences (default=hold)
