Maybe I could
add a page on my website with some maths and probabilities explanations on
how the system is mathematically balanced?

Finally I made this page. You can find it on my website, menu “Related Stuff” > “Game System”.
For those who want to analyse the balance of this game mechanism in detail! :-)

This looks like a really neat system. The “description sheet” is very similar
to a system I’ve used (though regrettably never got around to publishing) in a
tactical dungeon game.
One refinement you might consider would be to put the minifigs onto 2x4 plates,
and keep them there as they move around the battlefield. This gives you a
consistent place to put damage markers (and mana/spirit-point markers, if you
use those).
The only thing that really bugs me about the rules is that you seem to be using
the term “hit points” backwards relative to every other game I’ve ever played.
In normal usage, HP are points you start with, and then lose as you take damage.
In your system, you start with zero HP and gain them as you take damage. I
think I would frequently forget this, and get confused during play.
But otherwise, it looks like a very sensible system. Thanks for contributing it
and writing it up so nicely — I know that’s a lot of work!
Best,

Thanks!
Recently I had the chance to test it myself with a friend and I’m now really
convinced of all the fun you can get from it.

Yes, this might be an idea to try. However, it may becomes more difficult to
move the minifig around. During my test, I found very convenient to just move
the minifig one stud after the other, orienting it at the same time, just by
counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Yes, you’re right, most of the game give health point at the begining and then
remove them during the game. It is still possible to do it in BOW with your
Heroes. At the begining of the game you can add all the Marking Bricks on top of
the HP on the Description Sheet of your Hero, then you remove them each time you
take one point of Damage.
And for the Troopers, normally they only have one point of damage so the problem
doesn’t really exist.

Thank you. I will soon release the version 1.2 of the rules. Nothing changed but
I rewrote some passage and add more pictures to make it easier to read.
Bye.
