Car Wars , Steve Jackson Games . Yes , the rules are blemished . It can take two hours to spiel through two minutes of action . And the “ miniature ” were really 2D paper cars . But you ca n’t beat the conception : Road Warrior dash running struggle between intemperately armed and armored car and trucks .

The larger - musical scale , prepainted miniatures negate the need for paperwork , and the game itself presents a compelling version of blend arms sci - fi warfare .
