 |  Paper 40k! Ok guys I had this idea, that comes with a story. BORED during class (an hour 1/2 lecture) I was thinking of Warhammer 40k. As I doodle yet another epic ww2 air battle I had an idea. Its similar to how Battle reports are ran. You make an army list. I find that 1k is as high as you can really fit on a piece of paper. Anyways as you make your armies you assign symbols to each model or unit. An example would be Infantry would be a Circle (o) while bigger things like tanks and such would be like a square [] you can obviously make any symbol or marker for anything its up to you, but keep in mind it needs to be repeated and redrawn a lot. So now that you have your army laid out, literally play Warhammer 40k. Obviously you would have to scale down the movement and everything which you can work out on your own. But your really all set. There lies another question. How do you figure out the Die Rolls!?!? Easy, if you have a T-83 Calculator you can use the random probability, and choose the dice section. From there you play out warhammer 40k. Does this all make sense, because once I had this system going that boring class was well over. Cheers, Peter |

 Creativity strikes at odd times. As for paper 40k, you can easily use a ruler or a piece of paper to measure distances
