Battlebikes

Battlebikes, the first expansion for Battlecars, was designed by Gary Chalk, Albie Fiore and Ian Livingstone, and adds combat motorcycles to the game.[1] The components include

• cards and counters for six motorcycles
• weapon counters
• a rulebook

In addition to new rules about combat motorcycles, the rulebook includes two scenarios. In one scenario, "Raid on Taccoville", seven townspeople try to stop three bikers from robbing a bank. In the second scenario, "Smokey Joe's Cafe", four bikers take on two combat cars.[1]

In the August 1984 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #56), Ian Waddelow thought that "the introduction of armoured motorcycles is a welcome addition" to Battlecars, but wondered why no new weapons had been developed. He admired the two scenarios, calling them "the nicest feature of this supplement, and I hope there'll be more printed in the future." He concluded by giving the supplement an average overall rating of 7 out of 10, saying, "If you liked Battlecars then Battlebikes is a winner, though a few new weapons would have been nice."[1]
