You guys are too kind. BrikWars is just bits and pieces from a million other
wargames. Anything original in there is just jokes and gags, and ideas that a
couple dozen other people sent in e-mails. The only difference between
BrikWars and all the games that got hacked up and remixed to make it, are the
Legos. Of course a game with Lego building is going to be more flexible and
rewarding than the same game with lead miniatures or cardboard cutouts, it
hardly needs saying.

It's probably been said, but oh well. :-, That Templar Power Suit is awesome.
Is it something like the Space Marines Dreadnaught from Warhammer 40000? The
many examples shown are incredible.

Thanks!
A bunch of people have mailed in and told me that a lot of parts of BrikWars
were ripped off from Warhammer 40k. I haven't actually ever read or played
WH40K so I wouldn't know for sure, but it seemed likely enough, so I went down
to my local WH40K store (there actually is a WH40K-only store about a mile
from my house) to take a look. I didn't stay long enough to open any of the
books and check out the rules, because the store personnel were weirdos and
they gave me the creeps, but I saw the pictures of the robot guys on the
covers and figured they would be fun to try and build. So if those are Space
Marines Dreadnaughts, then you have a good eye, because that's what the
Templars were based on.
