We didn't actually get the fight finished; we ran out of time, mostly
because I wasn't able to do anything until later in the day. We used Lego
Wars: TSV(1), with some only 1 major change. we added "units" so that unit
on unit could be a single roll instead of the default 1-on-1. In
unit-on-unit tests, instead of a success being a full kill, it inflicts half
casualties. (A group of 10 archers wins it's roll, and kills 5 units.
Obviously the math works best when both sides are using units of the same
size.) Andrew also did up some modifiers for different formations. Once
we've had a chance to play with the new rules a bit more, they'll get
written up as the Very First Expansion to Lego Wars.
It was ~1200 attacking ~300. At the end, he had about 150 dead, and I had
about 75, although about a dozen of those were after I charged my cavalry
out of the gate. Most of his deaths were from arrows raining down, most of
mine were from the greek fire his catapults and trebuchet were lobbing.
I don't use Brikwars; too point-intensive for me. (Although I confess I've
not looked much at the recent versions.)
