Hey Everyone,

I’m hosting a Brikwars game on the 11th at my place.  You’re all invited to
join in the battle and or to look at the models on display.  There will be a
13’ Japanese Destroyer on display, plus there is talk of reassembling the
16’ Zakim Bridge to see how well the new support structure works.  Feel to
bring your own models as well.

   I'm still a "go" to bring Takao over to your place on Saturday the
   10th, Jonathan.  I'd be looking at reaching you around 5pm, so if you
   have a set dinner time you don't want me to interrupt let me know!

   (And it's a cruiser.  ;) )

IF you are planning on bringing a module, I would like to encourage you to
place a cover on it.  This will add a little mystery to what is around the
next corner.

   Alas, my plan to put together a module hasn't borne fruit--I have
   to get this proposal done in the next three days, no choice.  I may
   be able to pull some kind of BW squad together, however, if there
   are parameters I can follow.

   Also:  SHAUN--if you have any parts needs, email me, because this
   will be my last trip to Bostonland before I pack the collection away,
   so pretty much anything you'd need for the S-boat is potentially
   available for loan/sale.  And I have a LOT of light grey every-
   thing left (save tiles of course).  Let me know ASAP and I can drag
   out my bins.

   all best

   LFB (the B is for BrikWars-Neophyte)

Sorry, my mistake.  Cruisers are bigger, right?

That's good because I already built a room with fruit in it.

As to not being able to build something that really is a bummer.  I was
hoping to see some new modules at this game, but all I'm seeing are the same
ones plus the ones I've built.  I can understand having to do real work
though so I won't bust your chops.  Maybe someone else will build a module?

The Coalition is typically in black.  We're very depressing.  The factions
didn't have any true color scheme that I was aware of.

A simple TL6 BW squad is 7 troops were one of them is either a hero or a
ninja.  You have 200cp to spend on this small squad so you should be able to
do almost anything with them.  I might suggest a robotic vehicle that is
close to the same size as a human.

Here is my squad with one extra scout (he got sick at the last minute).

Here is a helpful troop scorer written by Dave that I used to create my troops:
