This arena has been created for use with Car Wars, and generally follows the format of arenas found in official Car Wars products. The maps will be 6" x 3" when printed at 300 dpi. Each 1/4" map square represents 3" game scale - 15' of the arena floor. The counters will be game scale when printed at 300 dpi.

The Maximilian Arena Dueling Franchise

Otto Maximilian, the retired Double Ace, has recently opened a chain of low-budget arenas in Washington and Oregon. The AADA has refused to sanction these arenas, due to the questionable safety of the spectating areas. Nevertheless, they seem to be enjoying rising popularity among the locals.

Otto moved to the Seattle area several years ago, intending to settle down into retirement from his short but successful dueling career. But, after six months of watching televised events, he was driven to return to the dueling world.

Otto noticed that the most popular dueling venues in the area tended to be streets and highways. He reasoned that the dearth of arenas in the area were to blame. Why not build a permanent dueling ground to take advantage of the under exploited local dueling fans?

The recently defunct "Overlake Overlords" combat football stadium provided the perfect opportunity. The viewing area was already built, and the recessed field was large enough to accommodate the smaller style arena which had become popular in recent years. The field turf was removed to expose the concrete floor, and the Overlake Ottoduel Arena opened for business the following week. The armorplast was only rated for hand weapons (5DP) but that didn't bother the locals, who were used to watching duels on the open road.

Thus began the Maximilian Arena Dueling Franchise. This low-budget chain of arenas is growing in the region, and there are rumors that Otto is looking for investors around the country.

Since the only reviews available for the MADF arenas come from the company and its employees, I thought I'd share my comments as I tour the facilities over the next few months.
