The local wargaming group, NOWS (Northern Ohio Wargaming Society) is having there annual con (NOWSCON) on September 25-26. I'd like to run a BrikWars game at the event. However, I feel I'd need at least one other experienced BrikWars player to help (...) (20 years ago, 16-Aug-04, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.cle, lugnet.gaming.brikwars, lugnet.gaming)

Hey folks, it's getting close to BrickFest 2004 and so far the only gaming we have is Evil Stevies Pirate Game and a Formula I demo. If you want BrikWars or other LEGO based games, please contact me and/or use the BrickFest web site to set up a (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) It's something we've looked at every now and then, but so far it hasn't really flown. There's any number of ways you can stat the same vehicle, and that makes me a little leery of setting anything in stone for specific sets. But more (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

He was just asking me about this very thing, seeking (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, lugnet.loc.au.vic.mel)

| | question about vehicle stats/points
|

Just wondering...Is there anywhere that has a list of stats for any of the sets that LEGO have produced? (Or is there one under construction) The reason for this question is that one of the MUGS members has an army in which he wants to use a few of (...)

(...) The RV rules are for the 2000 edition, and the (latest) rulebook is 2001. There were a bunch of changes between the two years, so I'm not surprised if you're hitting inconsistencies. Most of the RV rules got absorbed into the regular vehicles (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Yes, I'm using the RV rules. Is there a newer version of those rules, or something I should be aware of? I was under the impression they were the rules to use when building a battlemech. I have noticed inconsistancies with the RV rulebook and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Nah, I think Chris is using the old RV rules from 2000, where robot brains were still worth something (RV.4.1). I don't see any reason why you can't combine a robobrain and other pilots, as long as the robot still has to follow a program (and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) I'd say "sorta". A "robot brain" is really a detrimental aspect of a trooper rather than of an actual vehicle, hence your vehicle with the simple "robot brain" addition would still have no Skill, thus being still sorta inanimate. So I'd score (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(In BrikWars) Is it okay to have a vehicle with both a robot brain and/or a regular driver or gunner? ~Clangador (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Well, it makes sense. I didn't know if it was intentional or not. I've seen pictures of 'Mechs (in BrikWars) that have unarmored joints. ~Clangador (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

| | Re: 'Mech Damage Question

(...) Well-built models will always have an advantage over poorly-built models. That's completely intentional. The question isn't about whether a properly-armored mech has an unfair advantage, but rather, why would anyone pay full CP and then not (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

If he builds covers over the joints of his mecha, will that prevent an attack against the joint until the cover is blasted away? It seems like it (...)

(...) It's more the difference between the attacker saying "I attack your mech" and "I attack the inner joint of your mech's left elbow." If he attacks a specific part, then he can use component damage. If he attacks the mech in general, then he (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) It looked like you'd answered your own question in the earlier post - any mixture of component, statistic, or platform damage will do. It all depends on which type of damage the attacker thinks is most effective or most appropriate to the type (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

Hello, I have a question. I guess my other post on this didn't get thru. I played a game of BrikWars Sunday. We played 10 troopers and a singel 'Mech each. I'm using the Robitic Vehicles rules. The damage rules for 'Mechs seems kind of unclear. How (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
