	1) Can a tripod-mounted weapon be fired out of a car window? Mounted on top of a car with a roof panel?	1) Nope. Tripod-mounted weapons will only work when outside a vehicle, on the ground. Exception: If the vehicle or its cargo compartment has no top, tripod-mounted weapons may be used, but they take up one space in addition to their user.
	2) In Sunday Drivers, it says that police cruisers can carry 2 prisoners. Weightwise, it can only carry 1. What happened?	2) Somebody messed up. The cruisers normally drop half their spikes if they need to carry 2 passengers.

	How much damage could an oil slick struck by a flamethrower cause, and how long would it last?	Standard oil slicks are not flammable.

	When an oil jet is destroyed, what is the result? A huge oil slick? An explosion?	If you play strictly by the book a destroyed oil jet vanishes without a trace, like any other weapon. However, after some muddled thought, we came up with the following: A standard oil jet shouldn't ignite, but it should leave a standard -sized slick, if destroyed from the rear. The rest of the oil would be blown around pretty inefficiently, so a slick would be left on 1-2 (on 1d6) if the jet was destroyed by a blast effect weapon, or a 1-5 if it was nailed by anything else. Artful Dodgers should be treated like a flamethrower, i.e., an increased chance to catch fire as stated in the 3rd edition rules.

	How is damage applied to a ramplate?	A ramplate is an extension of a car's front armor. If a ramplate is shot at or (more likely) hit in a collision, the damage is applied to the vehicles' front armor. The ramplate will continue to work at full efficiency (doubling ram damage given, halving ram damage taken) until the front armor is entirely destroyed. At that point, the ramplate goes, too.
	Is it possible to combine (or "link") two power plants to increase the amount of available power?	No, but we're working on it.
	In the "Convoy" scenario, is the figure that the ambush occurs 120 miles past UC correct? There are only 113 miles to Memphis. Also, on the 3rd car in Encounter X, are the four left RLs considered on automatic - or are they considered to be 2 linked groups of weapons?	Obviously, the 120-mile figure is a slip-up. Call it about 105. The third car has three links on the left side: one links rockets A and B, one links rockets C and D, and the third links all four. The gunner (or whomever fires them) has seven firing options: A, B, C, D, A&B, C&D, and all four! Please also note that if one RL is destroyed, the gunner can still fire the remaining three by hitting the "fire them all" button.
	1) When a flamethrower fires, does it produce a cloud which forms parallel to the vehicle (as on p. 15 of Car Wars) or perpendicular to the vehicle (as in section 4 of Truck Stop) or may the firing choose which cloud to produce?	1) Go ahead, take your pick.
	2) May a pedestrian fire more than one hand weapon at once (two light pistols for instance)? If so, what are the penalties?	2) Sure, but only if both weapons are either light or heavy pistols or a grenade. Penalties: -1 for the weapon in the "good" hand, and -3 for the "off" hand. Handgunner ability bonus can apply only to one or the other weapon (player's choice). If you want to be ambidextrous, talk your GM into it; about 5 percent of all people are.
	As weapons are used and destroyed, does the vehicle continue to carry the weight?	While it is certainly possible to recalculate a vehicle's weight every time a shot is fired, reducing the total weight by the WPS of particular type of ammo, we don't recommend it. Much too complicated. If a weapon is destroyed, the weight stays with the vehicle. Instead of having a 300-pound recoilless rifle, you've got 300 pounds of metal.
	1) Can motorcycles have 3 wheels? Does this improve HC? Can a three-wheeler have a sidecar?	1) A three-wheeled cycle is more properly termed a trike, and it probably will have an improved HC and the ability to pull a sidecar - once we publish the stats. But it ain't a motorcycle.
	2) The length of Grenadier's rigs is quite short. Can they still be used in Car Wars?	2) Mount the lead miniature on a piece of cardboard that is the same size as the counter for that type of vehicle, then use the dimensions of the cardboard to determine maneuvers, collisions, etc. Actually, we recommend this for all miniatures.
	3) Can a cyberlink be put on turreted weapons or side or back mounted ones? I would think that it would put a lot of strain on a guy's neck.	3) All weapons are "sighted" by means of remote control readouts on the console in front of the driver or gunner. A cyberlink gives the operator a better command of this targeting system. No neck strain is necessary.
	4) What happens when a helicopter pilot is killed and nobody else is in the bird?	4) Bye-bye, birdie.
	5) Will body armor protect against being hit by a car?	5) Body armor does not protect against other types of impact damage( being buried in rubble, falling off a building roof), so it shouldn't offer any protection in this case, either.

	Can the "Artful Dodger" (ADQ#1) be put on the sides of any vehicle? How many Damage Points does it have? How many shots? Weight per shot?	Just like a regular oil jet, the Artful Dodger can now be mounted on the side. DP, number of shots and WPS are the same as for a regular oil jet (3 DP, 25 shots, 2 WPS).
