Re: Stumbled upon some mass vandalism bot on the wiki

I can add you to the wiki - hopefully I remember how that works - but cleanupcrew is an approved cleanup guy, and those are approved edits.

Re: Spaceship crashing into minifigs

Just trying to do good role modeling of pulling plausible sounding bullshit out of my butt whenever a rules clarification is called for. I actually wrote out three completely different answers to this question and just picked the one I liked best (And then an hour later changed my mind and picked a ...

Re: Spaceship crashing into minifigs

Working together, it only takes eleven minifigs to catch and carry a crowdsurfing size 11" spaceship, so this isn't an autokill situation by any means. https://brikwars.com/rules/2020/7.htm#carryingitems What's really happening here is a collision between a large object and a squad. A lot depends on...

Re: You guys miss the print edition announcement?

Gonna be honest, I only found out about it because somebody pointed me to the Polygon article. It was as much a surprise to me as to everyone else.

Re: Newbish n00b questions, MkII

Ah, apologies. I should have read the rules more carefully before asking stupid questions. :oops: Not at all. Stupid questions are the only way we get anything done around here. Every question, stupid or otherwise, is feedback about which parts of the rulebook either need clarification or which don...

Re: Newbish n00b questions, MkII

1. Deflection seem less effective against a d6 action die than against a d8 or a d10, since mechanics like going over the top or charging mix die types. This seems a bit counterintuitive to me so I'd like some confirmation that I'm reading it right. There are a couple of different factors here: :d8...

Re: No Tears for piltoggs: Nazis Get BANNED

Which is not to say that there's anything wrong with fighting n a zis in your home games! Some of the best early brikwars battles were straight-faced historical Western Front scenarios, played seriously by serious wargamers with extremely serious facial expressions. But we've made the decision that ...

Re: No Tears for piltoggs: Nazis Get BANNED

I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but is anything that has N@zi symbols (i.e. swastikas, the double lightning SS symbol, the Iron Cross, the Black Sun, etc.) on it unacceptable? Regardless of whether it's a mockery or something completely unrelated to the N@zis at all? Afraid so. We use...

Re: starting a stud.io battle?

The best way to start is by playing a game with 1 person in stud.io so that you'll get an idea of how much work it is.

Re: Fan Vote for Lego 90th Anniversary Set

Got to go with Blacktron, obviously, but after that it's a tough call. I picked classic castle for nostalgia's sake and ice planet for more OTCs.

Re: No Tears for piltoggs: Nazis Get BANNED

:rule7: Okay but I'm not done thinking about shoggoths yet. We had a form of shoggoths known as Awful Things in editions past - just piles of bricks stuck together at random and constantly changing shape. They looked like this: https://brikwars.com/rules/2020/images/mc/abs_250.jpg BrikWars is a lot ...

Re: Secret Santa Build Ottoman

The car is good. In the Ottoman Empire, the vehicles were generally used by senior officers. The army would fight more by horse, camel, and on foot. At that time, the world was like that in general :) I misread it as "the vehicles were generally senior officers" and thought that's a pretty good ide...

Re: Newbish n00b questions, MkII

I have a question about how size 2 weapons work. Why can't a normal minifig use a size 2 weapon? It seems that according to the MOC combat rules they should be able to. They can: a Two-Handed Weapon is a size 2 weapon. Minifigs can actually exceed MOC combat's 2" weapon limit by equipping a Heavy W...
