Moros car racing

Car selection

Some of the cars that the player can choose have special functions and are bad in other conditions. In a rally a sub-compact would not be a wise choice but also not the racing car. Normally the engine and the handling determine the price of a vehicle.

There are a variety of cars to choose from. The different characteristics are:

Acceleration	The car can accelerate with this amount per second till 30 km under the cruising speed.
Cruise speed	The last acceleration at 40 km/s lower than the cruising speed is at 10 km/s.
Maximum speed	From the cruising to the maximum speed the acceleration is 5 km/s.
Handling	These two figures give the handling from driving and the handling after enemy fire.
Loading weight	This is the maximum weight of add-on's to this car.
Armour	The amount of damage that one of the sides of the car can sustain without hurting the interior.
Price	The price of this car in thousands of dollars.

Person selection

Gang driver

This is the common driver usually seen in gangs. These people are very self sufficient, this can come in handy when stuck on a remote highway with a dead engine and a couple unsettled deals with other gangs.

Gun	4 damage:2 aim:3 distance:9	Aiming	4	Metal def.	2
Defence	1 armour:0 tumble:4	Strength	1	Engineer	5
Driving	6 can be car or bike	Brawling	3	Price	1/2

Gang gunslinger

The normal gang member, he has got a little more self esteem than the driver but basically he is only better in fighting. This is the one with the bigger gun.

Gun	6 damage:3 aim:3 distance:10	Aiming	6	Metal def.	3
Defence	2 armour:0 tumble:3	Strength	2
Driving	4 can be car or bike	Brawling	5	Price	1

This one cannot really fight but is of a high value to a gang. This is the one that keeps all the machines going.

Gun	3 damage:2 aim:3 distance:9	Aiming	3	Metal def.	3
Defence	1 armour:0 tumble:3	Strength	1
Driving	4 can be car or bike	Brawling	2	Price	2

Gang leader

This is the one that is in front of the others, not every gang has a definite leader but the bigger will have one or two of them. By the way the leader always carries the biggest gun.

Driving a car

Accelerating

Till 30 km/h under the speed a car can accelerate with the normal acceleration factor, from that point only with 10 km/h and above the cruising speed only with 5 km/h. At the beginning of a second a player must decide about the acceleration of his or her vehicles.

Decelerating

Hitting the brakes hard is a hazard to the handling of a car. The car can get out of control. When the hazard table indicates a slide a die must be rolled to see how the car will behave. The angle indicates the turn the car likes to make. During the slide the car does only halve the planned deceleration.

Fast deceleration

Speed	Hazard	Die	Angle
-10 km		1	6 tiles left
-20 km	1	2	4 tiles left
-30 km	3	3	2 tiles left
-40 km	5	4	2 tiles right
-50 km	7	5	4 tiles right
-60 km	9	6	6 tiles right

Making curves

When planning a curve the amount of tiles to turn left of right from the strait line of driving must be given by the player. The next table indicates the hazard that comes from such a turn. Normally the car will point into the direction of the strait line between starting position and desired destination. The halve and quarter turn are exceptions from this situation.

The first column of the table indicate the driving speed in km/h. The next the amount of tiles to move the car forward in a second of time.

Curve table

Speed	Tiles	2	4	6	8	10
10	2	Q, 2	H, 4	X	X	X
20	4	2	Q, 4	H, 6	X	X
30	6	2	4	Q, 6	H, 8	X
40	8	2	4	6	Q, 8	H, 10

X = impossible H = halve turn Q = quarter turn

Steering hazard

Add the steering and decelerating hazards together with the remaining hazard of the last second. Subtract the handling in curves factor of the car from the total hazard. Roll the handling skill of the driver and modify the resulting hazard with maximal this number.

Add the hazards from steering together and add the remaining hazard of the last round.

Hazard result table

Hzd	Name	Effect
1	Swoop out	1/4 turn with the rear of the car, -10 km/h
2	Minor slide	Strait movement + planned turn, -20 km/h
3	Halve turn	1/2 turn of the car, -30 km/h
4	Mayor slide	Minor slide, every hazard next round: still sliding
5	2 Tires	Strait course at 1/2 of turn, attack 2d+1 on tires
6	Tumble	Successes on Hazard dice = sides to tumble

Firing weapons

The target must be moving through the line of fire of the weapon or it is not possible to hit it.

The difficulty is the distance of the target as given in the weapon table plus the various aiming problems in the next table. Throw for the aiming skill of the gunner. When this is below the required aiming it is subtracted from the damage dice. When using a machine gun or a flame thrower only halve the successes of the aiming help.

When firing multiple weapons there is only one throw for the gunner.

Aiming problems

Situation	Diff.
Movement >40 km/h through vision or >55 at 45°	+1
Movement >90 km/h or >130 at a 45° angle	+2
Movement >140 km/h or >200 at a 45° angle	+3
Partial cover of a car. Miss: throw again for cover	+2
Small side of vehicle or bike	+1
Small side of a motor bike.	+2
Aim at the less exposed side of a bike or car	+2
Aim at a person.	+4
The steering hazard without handling calculation	+H/2

Taking damage

The damage taken from someone can give a variety of problems.

First when a car has any armour left at the side of the impact this gives 3d of defence (this normally the most exposed side). When the remaining damage is lower or equal to the armour this only reduces the armour on that side by 1. When it is more it reduces the armour by 2 points and hits something inside the car. Throw a die and look in the damage locations table. The total damage to the armour or sometimes the damage to the wheels gives the car a hazard but subtract now the handling on impact factor for the car.

Damage locations			Hazard from damage
Die	Cars	Motor cycles	Damage	Hazard
1	Driver	Driver	2	+2
2	Gunner/ Tires	Driver	4	+4
3	Engine	Engine	6	+6
4	Tires	Tires	8	+8
5	Armour	Tires	10	+10
6	Weapons	Weapons	12	+12

The driver or the gunner can get hit (in a car without a gunner the tires are hit instead).

For damage to the engine look in the engine damage table for the result after 3d of defence are thrown.

The tires get also 3d of defence and the remaining damage reduces both the handling factors of the car and also the speed with 10 km times the damage.

When the armour is hit the rest of the damage is subtracted from the armour of the car. First the side hit, than the other side of the car. When the damage is even higher than that it is evenly divided over the rest of the sides.

Throw a die to determine which weapon is hit. A hit weapon has 3d defence or it will malfunction. It can be repaired but when it gets more than 3 hits parts of it will come lose of the car.

Damage to the engine

Die	Name	Effect
1	Unreliable	Under 30 km engine is dead
2	Top speed	Minus 50 km cruise & max. speed
3	Slower	Minus 10 km acceleration
4	Dead	Going 5 km/sec slower till stopped
5	Burning	3 attack everything inside per round
6	Explosion	8 attack within 5 tiles, to all locations

Making collisions

When a car come into collision with something the damage is 3d plus the speed above the 10 km/h divided by 10 in hits. The speed can be less when the car does not hit the target full front. When the thing that is hit is much lighter like a car towards a motor-bike than the car the speed counts halve but the other party will still get all the damage dice.

The armour will not give the 3d defence that comes with normal attacks. If the damage of a collision is not stopped by the armour all the damage locations will be hit. Only the weapons and/of persons on the side of the impact are hit with the collision.

When a car skims a wall this gives no damage to the car when there is armour left at that side. Without armour it gives 2 damage per second. Driving along a wall prevents the car to make a swoop out towards it.

After a collision with another car and the calculation of the hazard halve of the remaining speed is delivered to the other vehicle. The point of hitting the other vehicle determines the angle of the other car to turn.

Repairing damage

When someone in the car has a mechanics skill it is possible to repair damage to a car even during play. It always costs at least 4 rounds of time. One for getting out of the cast, one for getting to the right spot. One for repairing and one for getting in again. The following things can be repaired.

Starting engine	- only when unreliable, it will run at least for 2 rounds of time.
Weapons	- with less than 4 hits of damage (the successes are the number of hits reduced).
Engine top speed	- costs 1 round extra and the successes × 10 km/h is added to the top speed.
Car handling	- costs 2 rounds extra and the successes × 10 km/h is added to the handling of the car.

Other types of threads

Slopes

There are 4 different kinds of slopes. The speed of the car decreases with the driving onto the slope and increases with the driving from the slope. Driving fast into a sudden slope can create a collision with the ground to the underside of the car. This collision is at the speed of the car minus the collision factor of the slope. When a car has movement left on top of the slope and de slope stops abruptly the car makes a jump of the time given under jump.

Slope	Speed	Collision	Jump	Degrees
Light	10 km/h	>110 km/h	no	'10%
Medium	20 km/h	>90 km/h	1/2 sec	'20%
High	30 km/h	>70 km/h	1 sec	'50%
Extreme	40 km/h	>50 km/h	1/2 sec	'100%

Landing
Rough terrain	When driving on rocky ground most cars get damage from stones that bounce up. It is calculated once per round (10 sec). Look for it at the car table. The speed of the car decreases 5 km/h for every second on rough terrain.
Sidewalk/rubbish	Attack of 2d directly to the tires of the car. A big piece of rubbish can give a higher attack. This also reduces the speed of the car by 5 km/h.
Streetlight	A collision of 3d+2 when moving faster than 20 km. At a slower speed the light endures the impact.
Pushing others	Attack of 3d + handling on impact of the attacker; this is only an impact hazard to the target.
Wet road	An extra 2 hazard added to all other hazards except an oil patch.
Aqua planing	Attack of speed per 30 km/d; defence of one die per handling on impact; this is directly a minor slide.
