After joining in on the fun of Mike Rayhawk's BrikWars session at BricksWest, I decided I want to try out running a BrikWars game of my own with some of my friends. Greatly inspired by Mike's teams, I created eleven of my own 9-unit armies, each (...) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.town) !!
