(...) Nice, very nice! I've seen your rules before, and they’re one of the better game rules out there. I tend to use a few more Warhammer ® rules to supplement my Brickwars outline. But, everyone who ever asks me about where to find rules on the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.gaming)

For all you Brikwars players out there who are like me-- writing down your stats all by hand, crossing this and that out, writing 1+3=9, realizing it equals 7, and having to go back and change it again, this one's for you. The troop scorer is a (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.gaming)
