## Description
If you're a fan of the vehicular mayhem in Car Wars and always felt something was missing – perhaps the roar of a diesel engine and a cloud of dust – get ready! "Truck Stop" is the supplement that brings the world of road giants to the battlefield. To play, you NEED the base game "Car Wars", so don't think this is a standalone game. 

With "Truck Stop", Steve Jackson Games throws you straight into America in 2033, where a fortified truck stop isn't just a place to refuel, but a genuine battleground. This supplement introduces specific rules for the movement and combat of "18-wheelers" (those massive trucks) and regular trucks. Forget the small passenger cars; now you'll have to maneuver these enormous machines amidst the chaos!

The game comes with counters (tokens) to represent both intact trucks and the smoking wrecks they become after a fierce battle. To complete the immersion, there's a detailed map of a typical truck stop of the era, ready to host epic confrontations. It's your chance to upgrade your "Car Wars" experience with a truck theme, adding a new layer of strategy and destruction.

Whether you're a seasoned "Car Wars" veteran looking to expand your options or a curious newcomer to dystopian vehicular combat, "Truck Stop" adds a unique flavor. Fire up your V8 (or maybe a V12?) engines and good luck on the dangerous roads of 2033!
