  BrikWars 1942!
 
Achtung! Shaun Sullivan and I got together last night and played a bit of BrikWars. Inspired by Shaun's awesome WWII models, we decided to go with a scenario set in 1942. We took a few pictures, and I prepared a little website for everyone's (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.gaming) !

That setup is pretty cool. All kinds of little details here and there. Also, it's an inspiration for those who like building WW11 models. (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) damned if you didn't beat me to it! I love the little bombed-out French town. The picture of the Allied private splattering huge amounts of gore with his hatchet attack got a big laugh from everybody here at the college library. - Mike. (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) It looks stunning! I still love that armoured car, and the proxy bits used for the soldiers are excellent choices. One would almost think TLG had taken up making soldiers! <historian-nitpick> You probably ought to call it "BrikWars 1944," or (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) Ack! I knew something like that would come up. I have to admit I'm no big freak for actual historical WWII dates and such, so I knew this would come up. Uh, yeah, it's a commando raid. That's it! :D (...) Heh. That was probably my favorite (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) I was thinking maybe we should try and use the lend-lease program as an excuse, and pretend that we were also lend-leasing some troops? ;) Ahh, naah, nobody will buy it. I s'pose we could either: (a) become inspired and re-type the title on (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Please allow me to personally award that brave, American minifig the Conbricksional Medal of Honor. He certainly deserves it. Tony (24 years ago, 29-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) On his behalf, I accept. He's too busy chatting up the Princess from Knight's Kingdom and the girls from the Adventurers sets to make the ceremony. Actually, I was hoping that for the next game we might make him a Hero and include him again as (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) So in other words you really really want to see him buy the farm, eh? What's the average lifespan of a brikwars fig? .4 of a scenario??? ++Lar (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) Ahh, it depends on who's rolling the dice :D With Eric behind the magic cubes, the average lifespan is arround 0.8 scenarios. Sadly for my troops, my statistics indicate something more along the lines of 0.3-0.4. Actually, I fully endorse the (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: BrikWars 1942!
 
(...) Well, now, to be fair, it was your rolling that kept my troops alive, and my rolling that wiped yours out. After all, you roll to-hit and damage for your troops' shots... so it was your rolling that led to the long lifespan of my troopers! ;D (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)
