What's this Brikwars thingy?: Just rock up. If you can bring two (or more)
16x16 (or bigger) baseplates of medievil buildings (or other assorted solid
scenery) this would really be appreciated. Bring some troops or use some of
the ones I'll provide.

I'm serious about this, BRING STUFF TO BATTLE OVER, buildings, raised
baseplates, BURP mountains, forests, ruined castles, churches of various
heretical demoninations (even megablockers) whatever you can scrounge up. It
doesn't even need to win modelling awards or be particularly big. Basically
the more scenery, the more fun the game, tabletops are very boring battlefields.

If you haven't played brikwars and want to know what we're on about see

On second thoughts, don't bother. Mike's rules are great but I'm trying
something simpler this time.
And you don't even need to bother reading these either.

The short plot? A teklevel 2 battle with some allowance for magicy type
effects if you can come up with both a supersticious and tecknobabbly
explination in quick succession. Slugthrowers and catapults, yes. Cannons an
muskets, no.

More second thoughts, Muskets and Pistols, yep. Shooting cannons, big yep
too. In fact, bring whatever you like to battle with, as long as you're
comfortable with a medievil longbow being as deadly modern assult rifle.

What's that about the beer round?:Due to the college being one of those
alcohol free zones, for those that are interested, the beer rounds will be
held after the event at the local pub. All beers per round per person will
be taken care of, even if the host is the only available recepticle.

No second thoughts here. There will still be a beer round.

James (who is keeping his longbows 'cause they look cooler than guns.)
