	BrikWars 2001 was created in 2001 but released somewhat later (and received errata in 2004). It was much more complicated than the editions that came before, and remains the most complicated edition to ever released, incorporating rules for magic, communication delays between sending and receiving orders, and vehicle movement based on physics and vector math. It was an attempt to make a wargame so complicated that even the most rules-dedicated gamer could only hope to play the game by not following all of the rules (in line with the philosophy).

@@ Line 24: / Line 24: @@
 The basic system of BrikWars is intentionally simple and flexible.  Each player's units move and make actions during a turn.  During this time, enemy units with actions left over from the previous turn may respond (if they haven't already).  Appropriate amounts and types of dice are rolled for the particular action being attempted -- a single [[d6]] for one minifig stabbing another with a knife, or 3d10 for a massive mine detonating under a tank, for example.
-The major strength of the system is that it provides a framework for players to craft rules for personal creations.  For BrikWarriors interested in roughly balancing forces, it also generates point costs.
+A unit is defined by several statistics:
