What kind of erratta?  My freind and I started mini-gaming that
way....We
started moving these old plastic medieval mini's around on his bedroom
floor.	At first we just knocked over one man on the other side
(simple!)
After a while we added a d6 roll, whoever rolled higher knocked over the
lower roller.  Men could move 5", and Archers could attack over anything
within 2 feet.	I have many fond memories of those games....
