(It's probably worth noting that we had to remove the bodies from the field at one point, just to provide space for the battle to continue). After the Dark Shogun's crushing failure against Montgoonery in Bricktoria, I lead the Brick-Morkian forces myself this time, but again failed (and died three times). Fortunately, I had taken the precaution of being cloned beforehand, and Leonard and one artillerist escaped the carnage and were able to activate the clone. I think I proved a number of things: - that a larger military force does not necessarily defeat a smaller military force - that air superiority does not guarantee victory - that experimental weapons (eg gatling cannons) are best kept in the lab - that you should always provide for the reloading of weapons - that no matter how nice Spanish Dragoons on Andalusian dancing stallions look, they're not much use in a cavalry charge against chromed knights and on the positive side: - Rock raiders boulders make very nice catapult ammunition - LASER (1) cannons are not out of place on a medieval battlefield > On the (pseudo)orgainsational front, the next meeting will feature Town/City > Legobrickwars (bring your police, your firemen, your irate postal > workers...)
