Greetings all,
I'm a long-time lurker, but this is my first post. So please take it
easy on me if this isn't the correct forum to ask these questions :) My
friend and I are going to be using the BrikWars rule set to run a
fantasy-based LEGO war game. We're creating a 'keep' with a curtain wall
around it as the main architectural feature. The object will be for one of
us (probably me) to lay siege to the keep and rescue a "princess in
distress". I will have roughly 3x as many figs as him, to account for his
advantage of being behind a wall.
I've got a few questions for all of you who have used minifigs in a
tabletop war game. First, has anyone even attempted this sort of scenario
(i.e., a siege)? What were your reactions after playing such a scenario?
Second, in a larger scale battle such as this, would you recommend a
squad-based implementation to move the game along, or an individual-based
implementation to provide more accuracy for each individual minifig? I'm
leaning towards individual-based, but if anyone has any experience with
either way, please comment on pros and cons. Lastly, what's a siege without
siege engines?!?! Does anyone have any pictures of their creations? I'm
thinking of battering rams and large "boarding towers" on wheels. Any thoughts?
I thank everyone for any input they could provide. I have a digital
camera, so I'll try to post a link to the battle once it actually happens.
Thanks and regards,
T.J. Mitchell

Shaun Sullivan and I attempted something similar (unbalanced forces), although we just had a surprise factor (ie, one side was campd for the night and had to scramble to weapons and vehicles). (...)

| (...) Well, not to toot my own horn, but I have a few siege engines pictured on my website. Three of the four, admitedly, are directly from sets, but I do have a working Trebuchet on my site if you're interested in looking at it. I guarantee you (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
