Hey weekend Brickwarriors,
Has anyone experimented with playing Brikwars in scales other than minifig?
e.g. using microfig-scale mecha (1) or nanofig-scale starships, etc. Think
Warhammer 40,000 Epic, Battlefleet Gothic, Renegade Legion, Battletech, etc.
I was thinking of this as I was reading the rules, and it seems that the
biggest issue would be for the players to agree upon distances for movement
and ranged combat. Not that big of an issue, really. Then, of course,
there would be special rules, e.g. for carriers and fighters, boarding
parties, etc., but these would really be unit-specific rules, right? And as
far as special mecha rules go, well, mecha tend to have roughly the same
attributes as a person anyhow, just on a different scale...
I'd love to hear if anyone's played with anything like this with Brikwars or
any other brick-based wargame rules, and how any scale-specific nuances were
handled.
Cheers,

1. I can see a battlefield scattered with 2x4 plates carrying squads of
homocidal stickfig (2) warriors, ready to smash into each other... :-,
2. And yes, this might be interpreted as a shameless plug for my
stickfig-scale mecha, so I'll refrain from posting the obligatory URL... :-,
