(...) Not as long as you don't mind having to adjust dimensions and ranges according to whatever scale vessels/crewmembers you're using. The official scale wouldn't make much sense if you were playing with 4" action figures, as you might end up in a (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) True, but nothing that is critical to the game is dependant on LEGO, other than perhaps the definition of ship classes, and even those aren't critical. Of course lots of LEGO creatures have been released since the rules have been written and (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I tend to agree. We tried a couple of things to make BrikWars more brick-centric: a system for minifigures to construct things mid-battle, the Mechanix who can recombine blasted-apart vehicle fragments in new ways, etc. - none of them ever (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.gaming)
