Hi everybody,
Sorry if you already read this message in the gaming forum of the classic-castle
site where I already post it. For the other, I want to introduce the brick
wargame system I made.
The rules and some other goodies can be found here :
http://bow.lswproject.com/
The name of my wargame is
 and it
stands for “Bricks Only Wargame”.
Some key points of BOW are:
- You only need Bricks to play, even the dices are replaced with bricks.
- I try to keep the rules simple with as less as possible of exceptions.
- No statistics tables are needed during the play (only a description sheet per type of unit).
- A quick play (I made some statistics that show an average of 45 seconds of play per unit).
The website I made to present my wargame is full of PHP and javascript (best
view with Mozilla BTW).
The key feature of the website are:
- A SQL database to store the statistics of the troopers/characters/heroes, weapons, vehicules, etc... So the content can be quickly expanded.
- 4 Style sheets to view the site in your favorite theme (Default, Medieval, WWII, Starwars), you can choose in the bottom left corner.
- A dynamic page to create your own custom character sheet.
If you want to try BOW, I will appreciate a lot your comments, they will help me
to improve the game system.
Enjoy!

| (...) I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea! I love the concept, plus the idea that it's more statistically balanced. For instance, a normal 1d20 will do something "somewhere" between 1 and 20, but the odds of a 1 are just as likely as a 14 (...) (17 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

| Hi, I've just uploaded the version 1.2 of the rules. In this new version, nothing changed about the rules, but I rewrote some sentence and clarified some paragraph. I also added more pictures. The PDF of this new version contains 6 more pages but (...) (14 years ago, 28-Mar-10, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
