					<description>There's definitely some - see the excellently-named but currently-home-page-less &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brikwars.com/fans_studs.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Studs&lt;/a&gt;&quot; in Sydney, for instance. Brikwars has also been around for several years now, so a lot of tabletop wargamers at least know about it.

Given the large intersection between the sets of &quot;people who've seriously considered spending &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/products?q=baneblade&quot;&gt;ninety bucks&lt;/a&gt; on a plastic tank that isn't even &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/games-workshop-baneblade.html&quot;&gt;radio-controlled&lt;/a&gt;, or painted&quot; and &quot;people who've got a couple of battalions of Lego knights, spacemen and/or pizza-delivery guys gathering dust somewhere&quot;, it shouldn't be too hard to get a game together. The Brikwars &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brikwars.com/rules/2005/cover.htm&quot;&gt;rules&lt;/a&gt; are deliberately pretty fast and breezy (so it's what's often called a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_and_pretzels_game&quot;&gt;beer and pretzels&lt;/a&gt;&quot; wargame), to try to minimise the number of times you feel as if you'd be having a lot more fun if you were playing the game on a computer. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/7623&quot;&gt;Here's&lt;/a&gt; the entry for Brikwars on BoardGameGeek, by the way.

And even if you've no intention of actually playing the game, I really must insist that you put a print of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brikwars.com/downloads/epic_1280.jpg&quot;&gt;the &quot;Epic&quot; image&lt;/a&gt; up on your wall.</description>
