I like realism in my BrikWars. Not some fancy desorganized chaotic sea of madness.
It is true. I prefer realistic BrikWars.

I make up rules on a whim. I don't care whose troop it is. I don't care about realism.
I care about FUN!

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

I care about dramatic dismemberment, inhumane disrespect for the dead, and whoever wins to win in an overly dramatic fashion. Boo yah! Rules don't get in my way.

Ditto. I like to take extra minutes decorating gory deaths with my bucket of blood pieces. Or, just dump the bucket.
I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

Whatever. I still like realism.

Realism and chaos both have their place. My earliest battle was a great example of what happens when the Law of Fudge gets out of hand and is used on everything. We had grunt infantry moving as fast as jet fighters, and pistols which had the same destructive power as heavy gatling guns.
Just one random act of violence can brighten your day. Especially if it involves explosives.

My first Brikwar with a living opponent was realistic all the way.

I kinda prefer a slightly more realistic approach, when it comes to units and weapons at any rate. Most weapons and units in my armies are fairly balanced. There's nothing much realistic about the battles themselves though, I like to leave tools such as pickaxes and shovels around the battlefield, so minifigs can use them as hand weapons. We also frequently fudge things for characters that we like, allowing a commando to dodge bullets, or giving the last survivor of a squad a stupendous feat or extra health.
I do have a keen interest in military tactics and orginization though. I've actually written out the tactical doctrine for the various branches of the Morfaire Armed forces, based on brikwars experience. I sometimes play mini solo battles against myself to test how effective a tactic is. These minibattles also serves as an excuse to throw a few dozen poorly armed troops against well fortified machinegun nests, thus producing mass carnage.

I prefer balance, Its like the yin and yang one without the other is just bleh.
Glory be to the Bomb, and to the Holy Fallout. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. May the Blessings of the Bomb Almighty, and the Fellowship of the Holy Fallout, descend upon us all. This day and forever more. Amen!
