 Battle for Brickdom Core Rules

Battle for Brickdom is a Tabletop Wargame that is played using LEGO® or any other construction block
toys. Players create armies of minifigures and equip them with weapons and armor and equipment to help
them defeat the enemy. The game is played on a table top surface that is divided into sections.

In the world of Brickdom, many societies and nations settle their differences by competing within The
Array, a global virtual simulator that mimics any type of surface. As the different regions' technologies
change and advance, so does the world inside the Array. No matter what your army is created of, they have
a spot within the Array to become victorious, or suffer utter defeat! Will your forces prevail?

Tools
To play, you must have several
six-sided dice (d6) and a tape
measure. Distance is measured
in inches between the closest
point of the minifigures to and
from.. You can measure
distances whenever you wish.
Armies
Armies are made from any
constructable building toy you
want. Normally, LEGO®
minifigures are used. When
stripped of all equipment, every
minifigure is the same. The
basic minifigure consists of a
head, torso, legs and hands.
Each minifigure's individual
stats come from the equipment
that the figure has attached to it.
Weapons, shields, back packs,
helmets, armor or anything that
attaches to the minifigure will
modify that model's stats and
grant it certain abilities. Your
armies are made out of groups
of minifigures working together
to defeat you enemy's
minifigures. Armies can be
however large you want, but it is
recommended that each player
agrees on a point value to build
their army around. Armies
cannot exceed the agreed upon
value. Refer to the army
building chapter for ideas on
how to make truly balanced
armies.
Squads
Multiple minifigures with the
same weapons can be adjoined
to the same flat panel and can
move and shoot together as a
squad. When attacking in a
squad, you may combine all of
your minifigure's attacks in the
same roll. So if you have 5
minifigures shooting 1d6each,
you may roll 5d6's for that
squad's attack.
Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
The Array
Battles are fought on large flat
surfaces of any size known as
arrays which are generally
between 4'x4' and 4'x6'. Arrays
are populated with terrain.
Terrain can be any piece of
scenic terrain or anything you
can create with bricks. As long
as players agree it is fair game.
Line of Sight
When a unit is attacking another
unit the attacker must have line
of sight of that enemy to target
them. If the unit is partially
hidden behind a piece of terrain
and is within 1” of that terrain,
the defending unit gets to make
a “cover save”.
Victor's Choice
Whenever there is a
disagreement between players,
each player will roll a d6. The
winner of the roll gets to make
the choice.
Set Up
Terrain
You may place your terrain
pieces throughout the Array.
Take turns placing terrain pieces
until a sufficient amount have
been placed.
After you have set up all terrain,
divide the array into 6 equal
sections called battle spaces.
Assign a unique number value to
each battle space (1-6). Each
player controls an equal number
of battle spaces at the beginning
of the game. Roll a d6 to see
who deploys first. The winner
starts by placing one unit onto
the Array. A unit is either a
single minifigure, or a squad of
minifigures that are all outfitted
with the same gear and are
sharing the same base. The
players alternate deploying units
one at a time, until all units are
placed. If one player has
multiple units left after the other
player has deployed all of their
units, then the player with the
remaining units places all of
their units out onto the Array.
You may not deploy within 12”
of the enemy's battle spaces.
Battle Rounds
Battles within the Array take
place in rounds, turns and
phases. A round consists of 2
turns (or more depending on the
number of players). A turn
consists of the following phases:
1.Support Phase
Perform support unit abilities.
2. Magic Phase
Perform Magic abilities.
3. Movement Phase
Move your units within the
Array.
4. Ranged Phase
Attack with ranged weapons.
5. Melee Phase
Attack with melee weapons.
6. Gaia Phase
Awe in the greatness of the
world around you.
After you have completed your
turn, it becomes the next player's
turn (in clockwise order). After
all players have completed their
turn, you may roll to see who
goes first in the next round or
you can cycle through players.
Support Phase
Any units that have support
abilities perform those abilities
during this round. The
equipment will have any support
abilities listed in the equipments
table.
Magic Phase
Wizards and other magical units
will be able to perform magic
spells during this phase. There
are Active and Passive spells.
Active spells will have a casting
value. Attempting to cast means
you roll 2d6's and the sum of
your rolls must meet or exceed
6

the casting value for the spell to
be cast. Passive spells do not
require casting. At the start of
your magic phase, choose a
totem that your magical unit
possesses. You may choose to
either perform the passive spell
or attempt to cast the active
spell. Spells last until the start of
your next magic phase. Spells
are defined in the spells section.
Movement Phase
You may move all of your units
during the movement phase.
Each unit will have a move
value. You may move a unit its
move value in inches during the
movement phase. To move a
squad, pick a point on the
squad's base and measure its
move distance from there. That
part of the base can move to
where it was measured. After a
unit has been move, you may
rotate the unit in any direction.
A unit may move vertically in
order to cross terrain. If a unit's
movement will put it further
from the closest enemy unit than
it was at the start of its turn, you
must subtract 1” from its move
value for that turn.
Sprinting a unit may be
accomplished by declaring that a
unit is sprinting. Roll 1 d6 and
add the result to the unit's move
value. A unit that sprints cannot
make a ranged or melee attack
this turn.
Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
Ranged Phase
You may attack with any units
that are equipped with a ranged
weapon during this phase. To
make a ranged attack, the unit
you are attacking must be within
x inches of the unit you are
attacking it with (where x is the
range of the weapon they are
using). Any weapon with a
range greater than 2” is
considered a ranged weapon.
When ranged attacking from
terrain, you may add x inches to
your weapon's range, where x
equals the number of inches
higher your unit is than the unit
that is being attacked. (see
Attacking)
Melee Phase
You may attack with any units
that are equipped with melee
weapons (to include bare hands)
during this phase. To make a
melee attack, your minifigure
needs to have an enemy within
its melee weapon's range. If you
are within 6” of an enemy, but
outside of your melee range, you
may attempt a lunge. Roll 1d6.
You may move that many inches
towards the enemy. If you
cannot move within range to
attack you enemy, the lunge
failed and no movement occurs.
(see Attacking)
Gaia Phase
While you and your opponent
are raging warfare within the
Array, the almighty being Gaia
that controls the Array is
constantly using her powers to
change the Array around you.
Some things will hurt you, some
things will help you. Others will
just change your surroundings
and cause you to reevaluate your
location. During the Gaia Phase,
roll 1 d6 to designate which
battle space is getting affected.
Then roll another d6 to see what
happens.
1 Nothing
2 Nothing
3 Choose a terrain feature,
move it to another random
section.
4 Disassemble any terrain
features and rearrange them
in a new order within that
section.
5 Heal 1 life to any wounded
units within that section.
6 Deal 1 damage to all units
within that section.

Attacking roll 1 d6 for each wound. If their

When a unit attacks, you must
choose who that unit is
attacking. Squads may not be
targets of attacks. You must
choose a single minifigure
within that squad. The attacking
unit must have line of sight to
the unit it is attacking, and it
must be within range of
whatever weapon that unit is
using. Each weapon will have an
attack number. This designates
how many d6's are used to make
that attack. Then there is a “To
Hit” value and a “To Wound”
value. First, roll the attack
value's worth of d6's, if you roll
above the “To Hit” value, then
the attack hits. If you roll below
the “To Hit” value, the attack
does not hit and is discarded.
Then, take all the dice that “hit”
and re roll them. If you roll
above the “To wound” value
your attack goes through and
you do damage to the enemy
equal to that weapon's damage
value. The enemy then gets a
chance to block your attack.
roll is equal to or higher than
their armor value, the wound is
cancelled.
Any wounds that aren't
cancelled go through. Damage is
then subtracted from the unit's
total life. (2 Attacks with 2
damage each would do 4
damage to the enemy's life.)
The Base Minifigure
The base minifigure's stats are
as follows:
Life: 5
Weapons: Bare Hands (Melee):
1 Attack; 5+ to hit, 6+ to wound.
1 damage.
Armor Value: 6; Move: 6;
Points: 5

Cover Save: If the enemy is

partially covered by terrain and
within 1” of that piece of terrain,
they may make a cover save. To
make a cover save, roll 1 d6 for
each wound roll towards that
unit. The minifigure is separated
into 3 sections (Head, Torso and
Legs). If the cover is covering 1
section, it is a 5+ to save, 2
sections is 4+ save, and 3
sections is a 3+ save.

Armor Save: Armor plays a

vital part in protecting your unit.
Each unit will have an armor
value of 6. Any armor you have
will lower your armor value.
This is the number that you must
roll to block incoming attacks.
Therefore, the lower the armor
value, the better the armor. You
may not have lower than a 2+
armor save. The defender will

Spells
A wizard or magical unit, is a unit that can perform magical spells during your magic phase. In order for a unit to be
a wizard, they must have a magic weapon (wand or staff). They also must carry a magic totem of a certain color to
perform a specific duo of active and passive spells. These totems are normally attached to a wizard's staff, but if that
is impossible, they may be attached to the unit's other hand or head or wherever it will securely attach. A magical
totem is just a 1x1 flat LEGO® piece. Refer to the spell book table below:

Targeting Computer
A targeting computer is a
completely optional component
that assesses an enemy and
exploits its weaknesses. It is
handy to have. To use, you must
declare that you are using your
targeting computer before
making an attack. Then, roll 1
d6. Compare to “Accuracy”
value. On a success, your enemy
adds x to their AV. Where x =
exploit value.

Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
Mandatory Mini's
In order to operate the machine,
you must have at least one
minifigure dedicated solely as
the pilot. They may not use any
other weapons while piloting. If
the pilot is killed, you must
assign another minifigure as the
pilot or the machine no longer
functions.
Any crew served weapons must
have a minifigure solely
dedicated to it as well. If a
crewserved weapon's operator is
killed, you may no longer make
attacks with that weapon.
Combining Totals
For life, add all life of all
crewmembers and additional
equipment together.
Add and subtract all other
additional stats for the vehicle.
Movement is only calculated
using the equipment
components. Do not add
minifigure move values to the
machine's move value.
Targeting a Crewmember
If an enemy has line of sight on
a minifigure attached to the
machine, that enemy may target
it. (Cover rules apply). If that
crewmember is killed, subtract
its life from the total life of the
machine. Also, if the
crewmember was attached to a
piece of equipment on that
machine, that equipment is no
longer functional.
Targeting a Machine
A machine itself may also be
targeted for attack. It battles just
as if it was its own minifigure,
with its AV and life taken into
effect.

Companions (Pets)
In Battle for Brickdom, each unit may have a companion (or pet) that supports that specific unit. Pets are attached to
each individual unit and may only work with their unit or “handler”. You may add a pet to the handler's unit sheet
for points and east reference. Pets may only move their “move value” away from their handler. When the handler
moves, the pet moves the same distance in the same direction, then makes its own move. They resolve any support
abilities during that player's support phase and may only attack during their handler's turn to attack (if they have an
attack). A unit may only have 1 pet per minifigure. The pet's life is added to the minifigure's life, but the pet itself
may be targeted for attack. If a pet is targeted for attack, it uses its own AV to evade attacks. If the pet dies, its life
(which was added to the unit's life) is then taken away from the unit's life. If the unit dies while the pet is still alive,
the pet has no handler and is either killed on the battlefield or runs off never to be seen again. Treat it as dead.

Aerial Drones are remotely
piloted, intelligence gathering
aircraft that fly above and
support the troops on the
ground. They are comprised of
several parts and require a crew
to operate.
Drone Composition
Drones are comprised of at least
the following things:
Engine - Used to create
propulsion. (2pts)
Airfoil - Used to create lift. (1pt)
Prop - Rotating wing that moves
the aircraft, attached to the
engine. (1pt)
Camera - Downward facing,
data gathering tool. (5pts)
Antenna -Signaling device that
transmits data to the ground
station. (4pts)
The ground crew is comprised
of the following things:
Ground Station - 2 computers
and 2 chairs with device to
receive data. (7pts)
Pilot - Minifigure in charge of
flying the aircraft (5pts)
Intel Gatherer - Minifigure in
charge of collecting the data and
transferring it to other soldiers.
(5pts)
(Optional Additions to crew and
equipment)
Maintainer (on ground) Carries
a wrench. Can fix aircraft upon
return.
Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
Aerial Drones
Spotting
Drones provide a spot ability
that marks enemies that might
be camouflaged or hidden
behind objects. This spot also
adds to other attacks made by
friendly units.
Drones perform their spot
support ability on all enemies
within 18” of them. Roll 1 d6
per enemy, (rolling for all units
individually.) For enemies that
are larger than a standard
minifigure, +1 to their dice roll.
For units underneath shelter or
outside of line of sight of the
drone, -1 to their dice roll, for
units with camouflage, -1 to
their dice roll. For any 2+
results, the attacker will place a
spot marker on the spotted unit.
Now, any other unit that attacks
the spotted unit may reroll any
(To Hit) attack dice that do not
hit once. Attackers may not
reroll any dice more than once.
Spot markers go away at the
start of the Attackers next
support phase.
Location
Drones start out on top or next
to their ground station. They are
considered to be “landed”. A
drone does not have any abilities
and cannot attack if it is landed.
During the movement phase, an
aircraft can “take off”. By
declaring that it is taking off and
setting it up on its stand. The
unit doesn't move but can now
move next turn and can operate.
Stats
Drones have a movement of 12”
and 5 life. Their Armor Value is
2+. To be repaired by a
mechanic, the drone must be
“landed” and the mechanic must
be within 3” of it. You may not
move then land, nor may you
takeoff then move within the
same movement phase.
Ground Station
The ground station does not
move after it has been placed.
The 2 minifigures within the
ground station may be attacked
individually like any other unit.
The attacker must have line of
sight. Therefore, if the operators
are within a box, they will be
more heavily guarded. But the
units' stats will be dependent on
the armor they have equipped
personally. If either of the 2
crew members are killed, the
drone may no longer assign spot
markers.
Aircraft
The drone must be built so as to
convey all the parts of the
aircraft that are mandatory (refer
to Drone Composition). It
should make sense, and
shouldn't be too large so as to
not take up unnecessary space
on the battlefield. Drones should
be situated on some sort of stand
that raises the drone at least 6”
from the top of the play surface.
Measurements are taken from
the bottom of the actual aircraft,
not from any point on the stand.

The default game is won when
all enemies are destroyed, or
when the opponent forfeits the
game. This is not the only way
to play the game. Below we will
go into other ways of winning
the game, and other ways to set
the game up.
Respawns
Players may choose at the
beginning of the game whether
or not to play with respawns. If
respawns are chosen, then
whenever a unit dies, they sit out
for 1 turn, and are then brought
back into the game at their base.
They may then continue on to
attempt to capture the enemy
base or whatever objective they
have. If you play capture the
flag without respawns, you
might want to think about
lowering the amount of points
needed to win the game.
Capture the Flag
Each side will have a home base
that contains a flag within 10”
from that player's board edge.
The flag must be something that
a unit may pick up and carry.
Units will deploy at least 12”
from enemy battle spaces, and at
least 20” from the enemy base.
During the support phase, units
will have the ability to capture
the enemy flag as long as they
are at least 3” or closer to it. The
unit carrying the enemy flag
must then go back and bring the
flag to the friendly base to score.
In order to score, the friendly
flag must be present at the base.
And the unit with the enemy
flag must be within 3” of the
friendly flag during that unit's
support phase. Once a flag has
been successfully captured,
return it back to its original base.
If at any moment a unit carrying
an enemy flag is destroyed, the
Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
Alternate Game Modes
flag is dropped. A friendly unit
may pick it up during its support
phase if it is within 3” and
continue to carry the flag
towards the friendly base.
However, if an enemy unit picks
up their own flag after it has
been dropped, the flag
automatically goes all the way
back to its original base and is
returned.
The game is won by scoring
500pts before the enemy team
and making at least 1 completed
capture. 50 pts are awarded any
time a unit takes an enemy flag
from that flag's base. 25 pts are
awarded any time a unit takes an
enemy flag after it has been
dropped. 25 pts are awarded any
time a unit returns their flag to
base. 100 pts are awarded any
time a unit successfully captures
an enemy flag by bringing it all
the way back to their base. You
don't win the game until you
have successfully captured at
least 1 flag. If no completions
are made after a certain time
limit, and all parties decide to
discontinue the game, the player
with the most points wins.
Assets
Assets is a game mode that lets
you control portions of the map
and earn points by how many
portions you control. Whoever
has the most points at the end of
the game wins. Before the game
starts, all players must agree on
either a round limit, or time limit
to know when the game will be
over.
At the start of the game, each
player only controls a single
battlespace (of the 6 on the map)
on the table edge closest to that
player. All unit deployments
must start within that
battlespace. All battlespaces not
controlled by either player are
considered neutral. Now
whenever a unit is on a neutral
battle space during that unit's
support phase, that battle space
is then considered conquered.
You may put a flag on that
battlespace. If a unit is on an
enemy battlespace during its
support phase and no other
enemy units are on that space,
then that battle space becomes
neutral. If units from each side
(or multiple sides) are on the
same battlespace, that space
doesn't change allegiance. At the
end of a battle turn, you receive
1 point for each battle space you
control. When the game ends,
whoever has the most points is
the winner.
Assassinate
In assassinate mode, each player
will choose a single unit from
their army to be their high value
target (HVT). The objective of
the game is to kill the enemy
team's HVT. If at any time the
HVT is destroyed the game is
over and the other team is the
winner.
If a unit is attacking, they are
only allowed to attack the unit
that is closest to them. That way,
you may run interception and
draw fire while huddling your
HVT away from enemy contact.
Once you enter contact with an
enemy, you may only break
contact with that unit if you kill
the enemy, or choose to retreat.
To retreat, you must declare you
are retreating during your
movement phase. Then roll 1 d6.
On a 3+ you break contact. You
may move your move value -1
away from your opponent. You
are not allowed to make any
attacks during a turn in which
you have retreated.

Army building is integral to
creating a balanced game. The
rules are really up to you. When
you are getting ready to play,
you should first agree upon a
points value. This is the one
aspect that works well and is
integrated into the rules of the
game. Each weapon, armor,
equipment, vehicle, etc has a
point value associated with it, as
well as the individual minifig
which has its own point value of
5. You must create your army
within the boundaries of a
certain number of points. A
good sized army, while keeping
gameplay around 1 hour is 150
points. This will give you
several squads and a MVP and
will make a good starting point
for an army build.
For example, we are going to
walk through building a 150
point army. As we cover
different aspects of army
building, we will continuously
relate it to our army build.
Factions
Sometimes you will want to
create your army entirely of a
certain faction, or themed group.
There are plenty of already
established factions (pirates,
clones, wizards, knights,
cowboys, etc) but there is
always room to create your own
factions as well! One of the
crazy factions that we have
come up with are Astro Wizards
who are astronauts but have
magic wands and can perform
magic spells.
Example: We will stick with
mostly clone troopers with this
build, but we will have stuff
from all over!
Battle for Brickdom Core Rules
Army Builder
Squads
Do not underestimate the value
of a squad. 5 attacks at once are
exponentially better than 1
attack 5 times. It is just how the
dice work. Create like outfitted
units that can work together as
members of a squad. Normally
squads are at least 5 minifigs.
(Less are allowed.) Squads
should be your heavy attack
units. Create a good offensive
minifig, then multiply it and
create a squad.
Example: We will have a 5 man
clone trooper squad equipped
with assault rifles. This will give
10 dice each time this squad
attacks.
Support
Support is vital to the success of
an army. Choose support units
that will greatly affect the values
on the table. You want to lower
your hit values and increase
enemy armor values. Rerolls are
golden. Drones are expensive
but worth it. They will grant you
an almost guaranteed hit reroll
to units who are out in the open.
If you are running mechanized
vehicles, always have at least
one wrench somewhere on the
field. Whether it is on the
vehicle (preferred) or you have a
mobile mechanic running
around, you will benefit from
healing your busted machines.
Example: Our example will
come in the form of our platoon
leader. We will have one unit
that will lower the hit values of
any unit attacking within 3” of
him.
Magic
Magic should be played with
caution. It can be very powerful
and is recommended with a lot
of builds, just know that
magicians will become an easy
target once the enemy knows
what they can do. Offensive
magicians should be heavily
shielded and healers should stick
to the rear to dodge enemy
volleys.
Example: We will include a
couple of Astro Wizards. One
will be offensive and one will be
a healer with 2 totems a piece.
They are also equipped with
assault rifles so that they are not
useless in combat.
Ranged vs Melee
Ranged weapons are much more
powerful than melee weapons
(normally). In turn, they are also
more expensive. When you
build an army full of assault
rifles, understand that you will
have a smaller minifig count
then someone taking
swordsmen. Advanced weapons
are powerful in the form of
additional attacks. They fire
repeatedly and do more damage
which makes a huge difference
in combat. One assault rifle is
equivalent to 3 or 4 swords
because of the 2 attacks and the
higher damage.
Example: All of our clones will
be outfitted with Assault Rifles.
These are arguably the best
weapons in the game. They give
the player 2 attacks per turn and
have a mild hit/wound
probability. They also do 2
damage instead of 1 and have a
range of 12” We will also have a
pair of clones with sniper rifles
to give us some added strength
and range in the array.
