"I bet you get a lot of e-mail from annoying people who say, "Hey, look at how I changed BrikWars, because I didn't like it the way it was, and blah blah blah." This is another one of those e-mails. Anyhow, I just posted my mod at www.gamedevblog.com, if you're interested - it's like QuikWars but even Quiker. Once you've set up, anyway." Jamie's "Brik: Tactics" is a cool little mod that bases damage on chopping off minifig limbs, creating a horrific scene of mutilated combatants and discarded body parts strewn across the battlefield. Awesome!
(As an old-school Lego guy, I never took this route - the minifigs of the Eighties could have their shoulders and hips detached, but after a certain number of times they wouldn't go back on again. Minifigs today are manfuactured to be more durable, so battle mutilation is a lot more feasible nowadays, but old habits dies hard.)
Although described as a BrikWars mod, "Brik: Tactiks" is a pretty unique and full-featured game in its own right, with a number of features that make it well worth a look. I especially like the modified initiative rules, and the callouts to influences from other wargames.
