Seventh championship event
One Case for Two is a survivor type event with 2 vehicles per team: the first one is called the Leader and the second one the Drone.
If any vehicle of the team is fully killed, the other one is eliminated and must submit to the surrender rule.
The arena is the former official Pentagon building, disused in 2020 after 2016's Food Riots and converted into a dueling arena.
It's a 17½"-wide pentagon with ten 1½"-wide doors (two on each side). The arena wall can't be destroyed and gives as much damage as it sustains.
Each team has to design (or choose) 2 vehicles: a Leader and a Drone.
The leader is a D30 vehicle and the drone a D20 vehicle.
Drones have locked manual controls; they reproduce the exact movements of the leading vehicle with their remote control radio system.
Gas engine vehicles must pay for a laser battery to supply the remote control system but the rest of the guiding equipment is supplied for free: it's a modified version of a remote-control guidance system (the receiving unit takes up no space nor weight, the sending unit weighs 150lbs and takes up 2 spaces) giving a better handling class but lacking of a remote firing control.
The leader and the drone must belong to the same category between those 3: Car/Reversed Trike, Cycle/Trike and Hovercraft.
Vehicles of more than 8,000lbs (trailer, if any, included) are forbidden, as liquid droppers and dispensers.
Reach out and strike your opponents down with the strong Arm of Shiva by Klakson Motors. Never have so many options to lay smite upon the foes been at your very fingertips. See your adversaries quake as they are pounded by the fist of an angry god in the form of your anti-tank gun, with either APFSDS ammo for the ultimate punch through power or with a half load of HESH to ring the bell of the metal clad peons cowering before you. With nine flame cloud dischargers and a near infinite array of links to help you deliver the right form of salvation to the wicked, you may choose the method of doom to fall upon the heads of the non-believers. The Arm of Shiva is not completely poised for attack. There is strong defense in being the arm of a god. Bumper triggered, armor piercing medium rockets protect your flanks. Heavy component armor on the critical internals make sure you can deliver your divine justice to the heathen. The Arm of Shiva is completely fireproof to face the flames and brimstone of the wicked, even the tires are so protected as you may crush the fallen beneath your wheels. Pierce the heart of the doomed with front mounted bumper spikes. Drive the Arm of Shiva by Klakson Motors and show the path of enlightenment to those who oppose you!
When carried by the Arm of Shiva, also by Klakson Motors, the Spear of Zeus allows you to hurl your fury to the enemies of your right. As the lightning bolt hurled from Mount Olympus, the Spear of Zeus may strike an opponent anywhere at any time with its turreted recoilless rifle. Choose the form of your doom to be delivered with full loads of both HEAT and HESH, meaning you should always have a retort to those who question you might. Heavy composite armor is your aegis against those who seek to escape their doom. Linked spikedroppers with explosive spikes allow you to scare away the impotent demons nipping at your heels. Drive the Spear of Zeus by Klakson Motors and learn the secrets of Mount Olympus!

Each vehicle enters the field by one of the gates, randomly determined.
Leaders enter in the arena at 60mph.
Drones enter at speed equals to their maximum acceleration multiplied by the number of seconds needed for the leader to reach 60mph.
Example: the leader has an acceleration of 15mph and the drone of 20mph/25mph after the first turn. The drone's starting speed will be 20x1 + 25x3 = 95mph.
The drone is guided by the leader with a special remote-control system; its handling class is lowered by 2 (instead of 3 for standard equipments). The drone follows as close as possible the leader's acceleration, deceleration and movement.
Drone's handling class is modified by the leader's driver driving skill, not by those of the drone's occupant.
If drone and leader's speeds are different, the drone won't move if it hasn't to, and it will go straight when the heading vehicle has no movement.
If one of the vehicles has several movements during the phase, the drone copy exactly to the first movement.
Example: the leader drives at 60mph and the drone at 30mph.
| Leader | Drone |
|---|---|
| straight then D2 left bend | straight |
| D1 left bend | no movement |
| D1 right bend | D1 right bend |
| straight | no movement |
| straight | straight |
After a FK, a MK or a FpK, a bollix might be triggered, hindering the drones' remote-guiding system.
A die is secretely rolled by the referee: if a 6 comes up, the bollix isn't activated, else, the roll indicates in how many phases after the kill was made the bollix will be triggered.
During this silence phase, the drone acts as if the leader had switched off its engine. If it's triggered during the first phase of a turn, it will be after handling class is recovered.
Players don't know in advance when the silence phase occurs.
Since a vehicle's kill entails the kill of the second vehicle with no new determining action, only one kill is awarded (the one which brings more, in prestige for example).
The winner is the last team in line. Only the drone's occupant is awarded in individual rankings. Both team's duelists are awarded with prestige points and skill points.
Rankings are team rankings (by elimination's reverse order).
