I'm hoping to meet up with some friend this Thanksgiving holiday. so I was wondering, is there any simple and/or cheap War Games out there.
I know there's one where you can use toy soldiers. But I don't know what it's called.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Brikwars is cheap if you have spare legos laying around
You don't even need Legos. You can play it with basically any toy of similar scale, including army men.
The cheapest one is Ravenfeast if you're into historical/fantasy because it's free.
Other than that I've got some war games which you can play with green army men in my other computer, I'll post when I boot it up.
Technically speaking, you could play Fairy Meat with toy soldiers
These Eureka™ animal counters would be good for something.
Gaslands! Just need some hot wheels and you're good to go.
Glad you asked because I made something just for that! This is Guns n Grenades, all you need is some d6s, plastic army men and a ruler. Been working on it off and on for the last 10+ years. Currently kicking around ideas for a second edition.
Continuation.
I want to thank everybody Ahead of time before I forget. And that i'm also considering buying knock off janga blocks or building blocks for terrain.
You can play basically any game with whatever tokens you like, even if they aren't miniatures. And those army men are about twice the size of the already large 28mm models used for skirmish games.
Battlegroup, chain of command in 15mm
Gaslands.
All you really need are some hot wheels/die cast cars, six sided dice and the rulebook. The movement templates can be printed out for free, and you can even glue them onto piece of cardboard (like cereal boxes for example) to make the template a bit more sturdy.
Then you’re good to go.
Battletech using Alpha Strike rules.
Try the ones linked from the Army Men General in /toy/:
Bump because this is all relevant to my interests.
I had some of the most fun playing TTRPG just playing a little skirmish with some lego men with my dad. We didn't have any existing rules we just figured we'd agree they could only move a certain distance, that their guns could only shoot a certain range, and that they would hit and kill on 4 and above rolls. It was fun, low investment and you could do it with pebbles as long as you had a coin to flip and agreed that an inch was about as long as the top half of your thumb.
What's that army men game set in Iraq called again? It used US/Iraqi squad markers and they sold papercraft houses
