John Kornhaus and I were dicussing this last week.

We came up with the following proposal, which is not set in stone yet:

1. At least one fairly big game, probably for more experienced players.
John's great idea for this was a "spaceship battle".  Bascially this would
mean contructing a large TL5 ship and have one or maybe two people defend
it, and maybe two people attack it.  The idea is to capture the ship.  We
have not discussed the details of the ship design yet, but I'm sure we will
soon now.  This one will require a decent amount of building beforehand.

2. Several smaller "skirmish" games, suited to people who have played maybe
once, or even not at all.  These can be of any tech level, but will probably
be both "castle" TL2, or "space/fantasy" TL5 games.

These two are definates.  We also had a few other ideas for games, which were:

3. A "treasure hunt" game, which woudl require a GM.  This is a medium size
game where several different people try to find hidden treasure and get it
out of an area.

4. A castle siege.  As you would expect, this is a great way to get castle
heads in the game.  Mighty armies, catapults, boiling oil, the works.

5. A TL4 World War II or similar combat game.  City fighting, most likely.
Would require lots of destructible buildings to be brought.

This is all we have for now.  Obviously not all of these are going to
happen, but the big space ship boarding and the smaller skirmishes are
definately going to happen at Brickfest.

...Who is going to help out running the BrickWars games at BrickFest 2001? There
is interest both in a Castle/low-tech/fantasy themed battle as well as a
space/sci-fi/hi-tech themed event and I want to make sure we talk things through
now rather than later so people can get ready.

...Most people will be able to supply their own units, but we may need some
"spares" on hand in case anyone forgets them. Also: terrain, spare vehicles,
dice, measuring tape, and other miscellaneous items will be needed.

...Someone needs to decide how big the armies will be and what the general
themes/missions will be. If there's enough interest, people can run small
campaigns. This is going to be a popular draw for some folks, so we want to make
sure it goes right :-)

...Don't forget: 20 days left to pre-register and just 50 days left till
BrickFest 2001!!! Woohoo!!!!!
