Hmmm sounds very technical.  Have we settled on a version of Brikwars?
I'm assuming that the 1998 version is current canon, given that 2000 seems to
be a bit incomplete yet.  Or is it?

I've the 2000version printed out (bedtime reading) and haven't spotted any
holes, I'm happy with whatever though there are some things to go through,
Brik wars is very customisable. For the record, the things are (these are my
suggestions only feel free to disagree/suggest otherwise)

1. We've got four players, that'll make it 2 on 2 to be decided on the day to
make the sides about even. Unless someone outdoes themselves in which case the
others get to punish him for his egotism.
This means no CP accounting, a good thing.
2.Play at TL6 (or even ignore TL's) which means we can have whatever weapons
of mass destruction we want. We'll call muskets and rifles machine or gyro
weapons at the descretion of the player using them.
3. Critical rolls. I.e. 1 is auto failure, 6 (or 10 or whatever) auto success.
4. no small targets
5. zero inertia vehicle
6. If anyone wants flyers they can be responsible for teaching us the flyer
rules (hovery thingys are simpler)
7.Buildings are scenery, not to be blown up unless (really) necessary.
8.Stupendous feats somewhere around the JamesBond/JackieChan level.
9.No chain of command
10. For RhoBotek vehicles see point 6.Flyers
11. Supernatural powers, I like 'em Pete C, do you want access to the Farce?
or have you been seduced by the power of sarcasm? If Pete wants SP's I'll use
'em else well forget them and have fun with explosions.

These of course are only my suggestions and may be ammended ignored or printed
out folded into a paper plane and thrown across the room as appropriate.

(...) 2000 it is, and your rules sound fine to me. On the SP thing, I may have to see if I can find a Tecnhomage or something. Richard Still baldly going... (25 years ago, 10-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)

(...) Any vibes on the number of grunts? number of heros? number (and dimensions) of vehicles? Cap'n Ahab sounds like he has a crew of about 35-40, with one capital ship. Do we want to set that as the approximate size for each force? (...) That (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)
