Laura, my 6 year old daughter has written her first set of wargames rules, which she asked me to type up. I thought some readers might like to see what she came up with – all her own ideas, picked up from talking to me, my friends and reading books.

Laura's Wargames Rules

You are able to shoot a pistol 10cm, a small hand gun 20cm, a small machine gun 30cm and a cannon 40cm or 50cm.

You can move 15cm or less

If you want to shoot someone and they are in the open you have to roll a 4, 5 or 6.
If they are hidden behind a wall or something like that you have to roll a 6 to get them.

If you are firing a machinegun you can shoot at three people, or three shots at one person.

Your mission is to get as many people as you can if you have the least people losses and the one who has the most people wins.

Print them up on glossy paper, spiral bound , with full colour artwork , and you have a winner .

Well, yeah, I knew all that, but what can I do with my FIGURES?

Sounds better than most of what's out there…

Sign her up!

Lol…

Any chance of getting a point system ?

Doctor Bedlam25 Nov 2007 5:48 p.m. PST

Actually, it does demonstrate a solid understanding of the basis of a system.

She's good.

That's better than two-thirds of the free stuff on the web.

What about the turn sequence, though? Do I move all of my figures before you move yours? do we alternate?

Will I have to rebase?

vtsaogames26 Nov 2007 8:15 a.m. PST

What about national modifiers?

Ric Raynor27 Nov 2007 4:04 a.m. PST

Yeah, green or tan?

If she really want to be successful, isn't it about time for a new release including the eastern theatre troops. In a few months, she can add the italians and the desert campaign.
