BrikWars in its current state would never have been possible without
the generous help and support of dozens of fans, well-wishers,
and unwitting 'contributors.' Here's a few of the big ones.

There are plenty of games on the market for people who like
to be told exactly what to do and how to do it. BrikWars has
never really been one of them. For the natural-born BrikWarrior,
rules are nothing more than construction bricks to be mixed
and matched and discarded at will. And everyone knows that the
more bricks you've got, the better. The Core Rules should only
be considered a starting point; the Supplemental material presented
here offers the ambitious player enough additional bricks to
keep him busy for a good long time.

Building your own creations is all well and good, but
it never hurts to start on a good foundation. BrikWars
2005 is available online here in live HTML.
And now, thanks to a surprise effort from Kolja ("Flashhawk" on the forums), the HTML files have been ripped and cropped into an easy-printing PDF format. Thanks Kolja!

Want to check your unit stats without having to page
through your notes, or worse, the rulebook? Check out
these handy stat cards. There's a blank one to photocopy
and write on, layered photoshop templates if you want
to make some professional-looking cards of your own,
and a good pile of pregenerated units as well.
The cards are two sided; print them out, fold them
over, and glue them together for best effect. For a
more solid feel, fold them around card stock, and once
the glue is dry, come back in with the scissors and
trim the edges.
Note: Depending on your graphics
software, the text layers in the Photoshop templates
may show up as uneditable rendered graphics - just delete
them and replace with your own text. The fonts used
are GowdieExtra, Gowdy Old Style, and Gill Sans MT.
If you don't have those specific fonts, feel free to
replace them with whatever you've got.

| BrikWars 2001: Advanced Rules |
|
 |
The 2005 Core Rules are pretty straightforward, we'd
like to think, but don't let them lull you into a false
sense of security. BrikWars players' tolerance for mind-boggling
complexity has to be seen to be believed, and the proof
is BrikWars 2001. Rather than filing this unchecked
rules extravaganza as evidence of gross failure in the
exercise of moderation, we prefer to claim that it's
the Advanced Rules for BrikWars 2005.
We absolutely do not recommend that you try using all
of these rules together in the same game. However, a
couple of especially-pertinent sections, picked out
here and there, can add all kinds of personality to
a Core Rules game. Our recommended favorites: The
Trooper's Arsenal (Ch. 2), More Ways to
Attack (Ch. 3.3), More Ways to Die
(Ch. 3.4), Acceleration, Deceleration, and Turning
(Ch. 6.2.1), Standard Combatants (Ch.
8), Alternate Species (Ch. 9), and Summoning
BrikThulhu (Ch. Fnrd). All of those are real
except for the last one.

The
LEGO® Users' Group Network™
Todd Lehman and Suzanne Rich, 1998
|
There
are a number of gathering sites and newsgroups around the
web, but The LEGO Users' Group Network, or LUGNET™, is
the undisputed king of them all. If you're looking for Lego
resources or information on the web, LUGNET is your first
stop.
LUGNET's
most important feature is its massive newsgroups section.
Although LUGNET does offer paid memberships, posting and discussion
is free to everyone; non-members just have to go through an
extra verification step when posting.
LUGNET's
newsgroups are the best place to look for other LEGO fans in your area.
