Avery forwarded to me an e-mail he got from a Larry over in the General section where he first posted Michael's post. Aparently, it's better that the Alpha Centauri Project posts here under gaming. I got a question for the group, what are we going (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.gaming)

I've finally gotten around to creating a website for BrickMech ((URL) while it's a bit minimalist, the rules are there along with links to galleries of creations and Con photos.

(...) Upon further reflection, I've decided you're right... since critical hits don't add extra damage, they just set a minimum damage, it's not going to upset game balance or add power to already powerful-in-combat characters to define critical hit (...)
