Hi everybody, Sorry if you already read this message in the gaming forum of the classic-castle site where I already post it. For the other, I want to introduce the brick wargame system I made. The rules and some other goodies can be found here : (...) (18 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) I just took a quick read through your instructions, and this looks really cool! Although it probably won't satisfy an avid BrikWars player with a long weekend ahead, I bet it would still make for an enjoyable evening (or lunch hour) diversion (...) (18 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea! I love the concept, plus the idea that it's more statistically balanced. For instance, a normal 1d20 will do something "somewhere" between 1 and 20, but the odds of a 1 are just as likely as a 14 (...) (18 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) Thanks a lot. (...) Yes, it's supposed to be a game for casual players. (...) I had to confess that I took this idea from a boardgame found in a LEGO Magazine. But it used only one 2x4 brick so I adapted a bit the concept. (...) Thanks. Yes I (...) (18 years ago, 22-Nov-06, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Thanks! When I tried it I had some fun to throw the bricks and hope a good result. And yes your are more confident in getting a good result when lauching a lot of bricks than just launching a 1d20. (...) Really? That interests me, could you (...)

This looks like a really neat system. The "description sheet" is very similar to a system I've used (though regrettably never got around to publishing) in a tactical dungeon game. One refinement you might consider would be to put the minifigs onto (...) (17 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) Thanks! Recently I had the chance to test it myself with a friend and I'm now really convinced of all the fun you can get from it. (...) Yes, this might be an idea to try. However, it may becomes more difficult to move the minifig around. (...) (15 years ago, 26-Mar-10, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

Hi, I've just uploaded the version 1.2 of the rules. In this new version, nothing changed about the rules, but I rewrote some sentence and clarified some paragraph. I also added more pictures. The PDF of this new version contains 6 more pages but (...) (15 years ago, 28-Mar-10, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
