Seems a reasonable limit - you can squeeze a reasonable number of troopers
and a vehicle or two in easily. It would also depend on the size of the
playing surface, and the number of players.

Probably the easiest to field (Tech Level 5 IIRC).

Are you envisioning the snow having a particular effect? (Should all troops
be on skis or snowshoes?)

Yes.... but if we're playing full-fledged brikwars, I think we also need a
(non-playing) referee/gamemaster/gamemistress. ( Or maybe an absolute
commitment from everyone not to take it too seriously. Which can be
difficult in the heat of battle)
Legowars presents a simpler alternative, and we could still use the brikwars
points for unit size. It also encourages the use of slug throwers rather
than dice rolling.

There needs to be a plot or goal. While just destroying everything else on
the playing surface can be fun, it might be ultimately unsatisfying. Just a
simple capture the flag(s) is okay.
