Yeah, I'd love to play a giant Medival Brikwars. I don't know about the timing
though. We are having a meeting of WAMALUG next weekend (the 9th I think).
Planning for that may be short notice. Unfortunately, I go live with a huge
system at work over the holidays (01/01/01 bug).
I think we need to do a few things in order to make this work:
1. Nail down a date and place early. A Saturday or Sunday would be best and
allocate 6-8 hours for it. Maybe after the 1st of the year. My contract ends
Dec 31st and I will just be killing time before Nepal until Feb.
2. Decide on the terrain and rules. I think doing hand to hand combat with
thousands of troops will take WAAAAAAAAAY too long. I think the guys in Ohio
and the Aussies both had big Medival BrikWars games recently. Any
advice/lessons learned guys? If we could get the distingushed mass army
collector, Marc "Mr. Baltimore" Nelson, to come down we would have plenty of
troops.
I think we should use a platoon-as-a-unit type thing or a modified large-scale
hand-to-hand and arrow ruleset. Any advice Mr. Rayhawk?
If we can plan this right we can have the largest medival BrikWars ever. Let's
get the rules right for pacing (think - no more than 5 attacks each per turn
and units start out kind of close). I wonder what the largest army ever
fielded is? If we do this right I can capture the entire event on Studios and
make a nifty movie of it. Carmina Bruana anyone? :)

| (...) I probably don't have any ideas you haven't already thought of, but here goes nothing: 1. Platoons as units. In a very large game, try to create large groups of units who are all identically equipped. This way they'll all have the same stats, (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.gaming)
