Piratical BrikWars was fun... my Spaniards only lasted so long because I
managed to cram 35 aboard my extended Armada Flagship. (I think about six
were left alive when the bronze* artefact/cannon balance failed and she
capsized)
Thanks to everyone who came!
Cheers
Richie
*Trivia note: No one could recall the components of bronze, or weren't sure
which was alloy was bronze and which was brass. Perhaps no one but me
actually cared :-). I looked it up: Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin,
brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
