By The Way - Heraldry actually has nothing to do with dimensions or conventions of shields.

Good thread. History, Lego, and war. :) Thanks, Magnus, for the advice about starting with a smaller number of troops.

Good points on realism. (...) Hope you ahve a great time! Starting out with not that many troops may be a good idea.

I've tried Brickwars once, and it was very fun, but in case you haven't figured out yet, it is also a very goofy, silly kind of game.
