	Description Edit \| History

The 5th Edition release of Car Wars. The combat rules have been simplified for faster play, and the scale has been increased to 1/60th making a lot of the calculations and movements easier.

Part of the Car Wars Series, 5th Edition is not a single book, but rather a collection of comic-book sized books. Any of the Division sets (see below) is enough to get started. As of early 2009 there are still not construction rules for 5th Edition, rather each book in the series has a number or pre-designed cars.

Expanded by:

Division 5, Set 1: Killer Kart vs. Shrimp
Division 5, Set 2: Stinger vs. Firecracker
Division 5, Set 3: Dagger vs. Napalm
Division 5 Vehicle Guide (with 24 new cars)
Division 10, Set 1: Firedemon vs. Hammer
Division 10, Set 2: Joseph Special vs. Scrambler
Division 10, Set 3: Eradiator vs. Blitz
Division 15, Set 1: Hotshot vs. Piranha (with Div. 20 variants)
Division 15, Set 2: Lightstrike vs. Banshee
Division 15, Set 3: Vindicator vs. Dragon
Arena Book 1 (with four Div. 15 cars)
