Mad Maximillian 1934 - pic heavy

Each year Chichester Wargames Club holds The Bob Bushell Memorial Tournament towards the end of March. As the winner of the 2017 game (Angels 20), it was my responsibility to organise and run this year's evening.
I decided to run Mad Maximillian 1934 - a new ruleset for the Club and me. I had to purchase a number of vehicles, some from Eureka and the rest die-casts from ebay. The diecasts were stripped down and re-painted, crews and weapons added and put back together again.
Here are the resulting cars:
The Red Max
Der Zerstorer
Silver Arrow
Doug & Les Spader
Hamilton Lewis the Third
Sqn Ldr Biggleswade
Peter Prefect
Prof Patrick Pending
Penelope Pitt-Stoppe
The Lavender Hill Mob
The Claw
The Boulee Brothers
Dastardley Dick
The Hornet

Fantastic.There'S some heavy duty firepower on those.Just wondering, does the position of the gun say something about the driver? I can't help wondering if the optimists have the gun on the back (Because they'll obviously be winning) and the pessimists have it mounted on the front to eliminate faster rivals?
And a practical question, being new to tabletop gaming: why do you put bases on cars?
I look forward to seeing the game in action...

Thanks all.
@ Andy in Germany - they are based for practical reasons: It may stop people picking them up by what can be fragile exhausts, etc and when working out where damage will be sustained, it can help clear up whether side or front/rear are hit.
The tournament ran in a Grand Prix style with a Practice Race (on 4 separate tables - 3x3 cars and 1x4 cars), followed by a qualifying day (same tables with first placed car going through automatically) and then the Trophy Race itself. 2 of the 2nd place cars also qualified for the Trophy Race to make it a 6 car race. The other 7 cars also raced - for practice and to keep the players from distracting the finalists too much.

Some pictures from the 7 car race:

Peter Prefect slipstreaming The Boulee Brothers around turn 1.
Peter Prefect and the Boulee Brothers spin off at turn 2, but Sqn Ldr Biggleswade, Dastardley Dick, Prof Pending and The Claw are closing in fast.

The Bob Bushell Memorial Trophy race:
Penelop Pitt-Stoppe takes an early lead
The Hornet narrowly avoids the oil slick as Lweis Hamilton the Third takes turn 1 behind him
Penelope and the Silver Arrow spin off at turn 2, allowing the Hornet to take the lead. Doug & Les Spader, Lewis Hamilton the Third and The Red Max race around turn 2, trying to avoid more oli slicks, left by Penelope
Cars slide sideways around the turn and skid through the oil slicks
The Hornet and Penelope accelerate hard down the back straight
With The Hornet taken out of the race by Anti-Tank Canon fire Penelope takes the final turn and has the race seemingly won... but in a deed more dastardley than any even Dick could have come up with, The Red Max turns off course and inloads both Vickers straight into her engine, immobilising her, allowing Doug & les Spader to take the chequered flag.

This is simply delightful. Excellent work!
Leads me down a rabbit-hole: what does the surrounding world look like if the apocalypse happened in the ‘20s/‘30s?

Looks like a fun game. I think I may be able to get my boys interested in this...
One question though, where do you get the figures for drivers and gunners?

Eureka (through Fighting 15s in the UK) do a selection of drivers and gunners, with more for release shortly. I also went through the Pulp section on LAF and bought lots of extra figures for conversion.
A really fun game that is very quick to learn (my 10 year old daughter learnt the rules for movement (accelerating, braking, turning, skidding) inside 10 minutes. The gamers at the club took less time.
