There are a couple of different ways you can go. There is a link to Mike
Rayhawk's Brikwars on the web interface at Lugnet.fun.gaming. James Brown
has also written some cool rules for castle wars. You can make them simpler

dice and make up your own rules. That is what my friends and I all did as
kids. 11 or higher to hit, plus one for every additional piece of armor you
are wearing or if you have "cover."
Good luck, and be sure to take some pictures of your war, along with a
thumbnail description, with any especially hilarious highlights, for us all
to enjoy.
