Hello All. I've posted pictures of this weekend's BrikWars festivities between Gino Melone and myself. The first battle was a playtest of some experimental Dragon and Skeleton rules Gino and I had come up with. Unfortunately, they're a little (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Okay, I'm costing a mech that's woefully underpowered for all the gizmos that I want to give him, so I have to buy a High Torque option (or two) for the poor guy. I'm assuming that standard vehicle upgrades work on mecha as well, right? If so, then (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.gaming)

What is the movement speed of various robotic propulsion systems? From talking to Mike, I think that it is the (4 * Pwr^2)/Mass. However, I think there is also a cap for each type of propulsion system. Thanks, Gino A... (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)
