Well, I think it'd be fun to get as many people as possible to come. A general
Legofest would be ideal for that. :)

True, but I'm looking at wargaming from the "fun" aspect. I think it would be
fun. ;)

Right. In a Castleworld Wargame, there would have to be special rules about
the heroes surviving. FTR, I'm not advocating all wars should be resolved by
wargaiming, I just don't want it prohibited if *all* involved members want to
do it. For example, Shiri and Eric decide that they want to join forces with
Auld Dragon and annihilate my Necromancer's forces. If we all want to wargame,
then I think we should be allowed to. But if Eric or Shiri don't, then we
resolve it normally. :)
