Gameplay

[edit]

The AADA Vehicle Guide is a supplement which includes 129 descriptions of different vehicles, with a brief analysis, game statistics, and variations for each vehicle.[1]

Publication history

[edit]

When the supplement was imported to England, it was impounded for several months after a spot check by customs at Dover, under the claim that the book was a mail order catalogue for terrorist weaponry.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Craig Sheeley reviewed The AADA Vehicle Guide in Space Gamer No. 71.[1] Sheeley commented that "The AADA Vehicle Guide is a prize. Grab it while it lasts; I predict that the shelves will empty of this very quickly."[1]

GeekDad wrote that The AADA Vehicle Guide had "SJG created the AADA, the American Autoduel Association, a real organization for Car Wars fans to join. It was inevitable that the AADA would release a car buyer's guide, right?"[3]
