OPENING FIRE

     Oh, the weather outside is frightful, the fire is so delightful, if the tanker truck overturns, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn... That's how the Christmas tree became the yule log. I shouldn't have let Psycho light the tree; he used a flamethrower loaded with high-temperature fuel, of course!

    We are still rebuilding NOVA headquarters. Due to a security breach all systems are being changed, along with all defensive routines. It's a mess. The ASP war is going quite nicely. From what I hear, the Mongoose is shelling out money to AADA chapter left and right. This is partially in thanks to No Gun's recent vacation.
 
    The Black ASP is still at large. Maybe we could capture and use him as a Christmas ornament. Psycho likes the idea. He really wants to light up another one - a tree; get your mind out of the shell casing for thinking of anything else! Well, on to other business.
 

NOVA WORKS
 
    NOVA is proud to present another bunch of duelling items that are not in the Uncle Albert's Catalog From Hell. Contrary to popular belief, NOVA prints the following items to show new talent and gadgets not printed in Uncle Al's. They may not be official yet, but that's not to say they won't be tomorrow. On with the works.

Mono-Filament Grenade: $1,000, 1 G.E. (1 lb), 3D6 damage to all peds, cyclists, and tires in a 2” radius. 2D6 damage to all vehicular components in a 1” radius. To-hit 9.

Trans-Sonic Propeller: 5x normal propeller cost, normal space and weight. This propeller is specially designed to withstand the stresses of breaking and going above the sound barrier. The propeller adds 10% to the power factors of the power plant used and -1D hazard from the sound barrier effects.

Thermonuclear Weapons: 4x warhead cost, 3x warhead weight, 3x warhead spaces. This modification upgrades a tac-nuke to thermonuclear status. Basically it involves putting a tac-nuke in a larger casing and using it to ignite thermonuclear fuel.
    This conversion multiplies the UT yield of any tac-nuke by 10%. thus a 0.1 UT tac-nuke upgraded to 4-bomb status would have a yield of 1.0 UT. This boosted power of such a bomb doubles crater size (from 10” to 20”, etc..) and triples the primary, secondary, and tertiary burst radius. In addition, the damage done within each of the radius is doubled.
    The only accessories available for thermos are laser-guidance, proximity fuses and saddles (Ha Ha!). A saddle for a h-bomb costs $500 and will let one person ride it down to impact.
 
 

THE WORLD "OUT THERE"

    Baby, it's cold outside. It's especially cold these days for ASP. You don't want to be in ASP now because they're being hunted by everybody. Even rival terrorists have joined into the hunt. The Black Asp is hiding under a rock nowadays, with a bazooka by his side. I swear, he's so paranoid. I bet he regrets he ever declared war on NOVA.

    No Gun has gone on an extended vacation. Frankly I'm concerned because he left with a smile. God help whoever ticked him off this time. I've heard rumors of whole armies suddenly coming up dead at his feet.

    Tim Jacques got won his third consecutive club championship in November. NOVA has named him our Grand Champion - he deserves it! Tim has announced that he's retiring from club championships, but not the regionals (yet).

    We recently got a letter from GHOST saying that they are finishing up their own arena book. It will be available in January for three dollars a copy.

    NOVA completed an arena book on the Flashfire Circuit last year. We have yet to decide on a price for it. Anyone interested in obtaining a copy please contact NOVA.

    The License Plate Turner didn't mention how many plates it could handle. It can hold up to three different plates.
 
    The Force Pike didn't say how far it throws a jolt of electricity. It can shoot one up to 15 feet (1”) away.
 
    A misprint in Combat Rock in NM5-2. It's “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns and Roses. The only song I've ever like of theirs (mainly because of the Dirty Harry film Dead Pool).
 
    In NM5-3 jet interceptors: The Intimidator should have listed a small cycle power plant as a secondary power source. All the weight and space are otherwise correct.

Micronuke: A 1,000 pound cluster bomb, which is capable of destroying everything on a Car Wars map sheet. We know this from personal experience.

Twister: When you have two or more players moving their counters from opposite sides of the table.

 

GAME NEWS
 
In The Arena
 
 2041 NOVA Club Championship
 By Norman McMullen
 
    This year's club championship took place at a brand-new arena aptly named The Hourglass. All were wondering whether Tim would win again. Or would it be someone else this time around? The duellists set up at the gates; at the west gates were Jay Chladek, Diana (last name unknown), and Tim Jacques. At the east gates were Chris French, Norman McMullen, Don Jacques, and Shea Montgomery.
 
    The starting light turned on and the duellists entered the Hourglass at 30 miles per hour. Tim angled to towards Diana and hit her left armor with a laser and VFRP rounds. Jay also turned towards Diana, but held his fire. There was no firing on the opposite end of the arena although Don turned into the arena's north tunnel.

    Diana quickly made a no-fire agreement with Tim. Tim zipped into the north tunnel but Diana tagged him with her laser and broke the agreement. Tim fired into Diana's left side, killing the driver and obtaining the first kill of the battle. Jay turned toward the chokepoint with Chris and Shea following. Chris fired his BC and hit Norman's rear.

    Chris fired again and heavily damaged Norman's back armor. Norman surprised everyone in his high-speed u-turn. Meanwhile Jay passed Chris in the chokepoint to get Norman. Shea turned to get out of Norman's way. Tim and Don mixed it up in the north tunnel; filling it with laser light, rockets, blast cannon shells, flame clouds and spikes. Tim and Don did only moderate damage to each other after all this violence.

    Jay surprised Norman by T-boning him into debris. Don and Tim exited opposite ends of the north tunnel. Chris and Don traded some rounds. Jay turned to get Tim, but lost control and rolled into the wall. Tim managed to hit Jay's weakened front armor and killed the driver. Score two for Tim. Shea chased after Chris in the west half of the arena.

    Don and Tim battled again with Don losing. With Tim having three kills Chris and Shea agreed that Tim won. They then agreed to battled it out for second place. In the ensuing action Shea removed all the armor on Chris's left side. Chris surrendered to Shea, taking fourth place.
 

Final Points:
 
1st: Tim Jacques with three kills, +15 points.

2nd: Shea Montgomery with one kill, +5 points.

3rd: Jay Chladek with one kill and killed, +2 points.

4th: Chris French, surrendered, -4 points.

5th: Tied with Don Jacques and Diana, both dead, -5 points each.

7th: Norman McMullen, dead and spectacular death, -7 points.

COMBAT ROCK

    Before we get on to the hit parade, a little history. Combat Rock was originally seen in the now disbanded Flaming Lakers newsletter a few years back. I thought it was nice, b ut just a fad. Soon to be gone from the scene. Then last year one of our members sent me a list of Combat Rock, and was published a few issues back. From there others put in their own two cents for our pages. It still goes on today.

    Years ago our newsletter was barely four to six pages long, with only a few sections. Today we have several sections that switch out with each other depending on the issue.

On to the music.
 

ZZ Top - “Gimme All Your Lovin'”, “Dirty Dog”, “Thug”, “Concrete and Steel”, “Give It Up”, “Burger Man” and “Double Deck”.

Supertramp - “Cannonball” and “Goodbye Stranger”.

 ELO - “Don't Bring Me Down”.

Pseudo Echo - “Living In A Dream”, “Listening”, “Destination Unknown”, “Funkytown”, and “A Beat For You”.

Billy Joel - “I Go To Extremes”, and “We Didn't Start The Fire”.

Bruce Hornsby & The Range - “The Wild Frontier”.

Level 42 - “Heaven In My Hands”.

Go West - “We Close Our Eyes”, and “SOS”.

Oingo Boingo - “When The Lights Go Out”, “Glory Be”, “Run Away”, “Only Makes Me Laugh”, and “Just Another Day”.

Genesis - “Invisible Touch”, “Land Of Confusion”, and “Just A Job To Do”.

Mike & The Mechanics - “All I Need Is A Miracle”, “Take The Reins”, and “A Call To Arms”.
 

    All the above Combat Rock was chosen by Chris French. Hopefully the separations of various songs and artists make them easier to read.
 

Classic Combat Rock:
 
Golden Earring - “Radar Love”

Bruce Springsteen - “Born To Run”

MILESTONES
 
    NOVA's Grand Duellist: Tim Jacques won his third consecutive club championship this fall, on top of two regional wins, and the Lincoln Avengers club championship, making him the most victorious duellist in NOVA history. Tim is retiring from the club championships after his most recent wins, but will still compete in open tournaments at conventions.

    Perhaps we can convince Tim and Mike Montgomery to duel it out for the best of the best. Come to think of it, that wouldn't be fair to Mr. Montgomery.

 

LOCAL HERO
 “Officer” Brant Jess
 By Cheryl Stevens
 
    The duellist known commonly to fans in New Omaha as “Officer” Jess began life in 2014 - the first and only child of Rob and Diane Jess. Shortly after his birth the couple settled in Moline, Illinois where the young Brant Jess grew up. However, his childhood was not an entirely happy one. His father, a wanderer by nature, got agitated with the sedentary lifestyle and went west when Brant was two to battle cyclists in New Omaha. Though he planned to return from his adventure, refreshed and ready to settle down again, the only thing that returned was notice of his death. His mother's memories of Rob Jess and her agony at his demise coloured the boy's character as he grew, and when she died, he, too, went west to battle crime.

    Reaching New Omaha, Brant Jess was accepted into the NOPD and began his training as an officer of the law. For five years he worked diligently protecting the citizens from criminal activity and earned eight awards for meritorious conduct. Still, he was largely unknown until two years ago when he foiled a robbery of a Jameson, Inc. jewelry store, ending a long series of hold-ups that left seven injured and two dead. The spectacular duel with the getaway car was captured on video and replayed on every news program in town. Officer Jess' popularity blossomed. The award ceremony was covered by local news, and Jess became an instant hero - a protector of the people.

    Midwest Defense offered to sponsor Jess as a duellist, but the officer turned their offer down. It was not until Sean O'Neil personally visited the young hero and explained the community benefit of such exposure that Jess relinquished his position (and a promising career as a detective) and took up the mantle of autoduellist. As a public figure and popular hero he knew that he could reach those who might be on the verge of criminality and steer them back to a respect for their fellow citizens.

    Since then he has enjoyed a career as Midwest Defense's Arena Duellist and a public speaker. He is still known as “Officer” Jess. Sean O'Neil has become something of a father figure to him, and the two often work together for the benefit of the community.

    Brant Jess is a clean cut and good looking, the type one might expect to be somewhat naive. Still, he knows the criminal element and plays tough-but-fair in the arena. He has been known to “rescue” other opposing duellists on occasion if he feels their attacker is being unfair. His vehicle varies according to the production of Midwest Defense, but always bears the dark and light blue stripes of the NOPD with the blue and white shield of Midwest Defense. “Officer” Jess is a Driver +2, Gunner +3, Security +2, Handgunner, Communications, Paramedic, Mechanic, and Running.

    When asked to comment on his hero status for this piece, he replied, “I only hope that I can be a good example and serve the community that put me where I am today”.

 

CUBE LOGS
 
    Tennis anyone? This issue we shall delve into those death sports we know and love. On with the blood!
 
American Gladiators: Fifty years before Ob-Racing there was American Gladiators. It's about people from all walks of life taking on the American Gladiators, a team of pro-athletes, for prizes. Events include Atlaspheres, Hang-In-There, Powerball, etc.... At times this reminds me of The Running Man movie.***
 
Deathrace 2000: A classic Car Wars film. Its about a group of racers going cross-country to see who can get the highest body count. The scoring is quite specific with a couple of close calls. Yes, you can score your own pit crew. Terrorists up the stakes as they try to stop the race.
    The movie stars David Carradine (Frankenstein), Sylvester Stallone (Machine Gun Joe), and Fred Grandy as a hapless Nazi navigator. These are just a few among the other actors in this cult classic. It's actually not a bad movie to watch, even for some of the jokes. ***
 
The Running Man: Arnie is Ben Richards, an ex-cop framed for the Bartsdale Massacre. Richard Dawson is Killian, host of America's favorite show, “The Running Man”. Ben is caught from his escape attempt and is placed in the show as a runner. The rules are simple; the runner has to beat the hunters to win. The problem - the hunters always win, until they meet Ben. Eventually Ben gets his revenge on Killian and his show. It's pretty good screenplay, being based on a novel by Stephen King (under the name of Richard Bachman). The book is something of a good read in itself. ***
 
Rollerball: The game is a cross between roller derby and football, with motorcycles thrown in to mess everyone up. It's a fast paced, deadly game with the players wearing spiked body armor. James Caan is the world's greatest rollerball player. The team owners want him to retire; he resists. The movie gets into the politics of sports and how it effects the players. Still there's enough violence to make up for it. **
 
    After these movies tennis looks tame by comparison. When your out in the arena, remember, it could be worse.

 

CLOSING FIRE

     Hopefully we will be back on schedule for the spring issue. It will finally cover the ASP War, even if I have to kill someone to get the articles in. The Mongoose has said he will have a new operation afoot by then, so it's going to get interesting rather quickly.
 
    We will, of course, keep you posted with the grudge match and challenges. Even if you don't get the ADQ you'll know what's happening. How the Black ASP heard about the Ogre Mk III and the grudge match I'll never know. Oh, well. Either the AADA or NOVA has a leak. I hope it isn't us, because someone will pay for it.
 
    Anyone who has questions or comments on the Nightmessenger can send to NOVA.
 
Drive offensively!

 

Norman McMullen, President of NOVA
