Wow! Lugnet sure is quiet when you put .admin in the skip-filter.

I hope you guys don’t mind me interrupting the cultured debate about who gets to be the foulest villain in the Friendliest Place on the Internet -- but I’ve got news! Ludicrously overdue and long-awaited by some, maybe a non-event for most, but pretty exciting for me: the BrikWars 2005 tenth anniversary edition is out of the gate!

A pretty solid handful of chapters up in HTML form, with the rest imminently on the way; sorry I’m jumping the gun a little bit but I didn’t want to miss the chance to post the announcement on this most auspicious of all possible days. Hopefully the novelty will outshine the rough edges and some of you won’t mind a peek at some in-progress web formattery while I get the conversion all finished up.

-- Mike.

(...) Excellent! My son (then 5, now 7) and I have been playing versions of this for years, and love it! nothing says "screw the rules and have fun" like playing BrikWars with a kid. As I fondly remember, our first game involved secret weapons (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)

		Re: Better late than never, BrikWars 2005 is out of the gate
(...) Cool! It's about time. I'm really pleased with what you've done to Structures, Squads, and I heart the Unit Cards. Be sure to make those available for printing out at 100%. But NO tech levels? All weapons reduced to categories? Now those (...) (19 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
