Hope none of you Ohioans mind if I butt in :)...
Since it looks like none of you are going to be real familiar with the game
when you show up, you should just run an informal kind of gig just to get
familiar with the game, and not worry too much about who wins or loses. So
it's not all that terribly important that everybody play the same genre, or
that all the armies are the same size or cost the same amount of points,
although I recommend you keep your armies pretty small (100-300 pts., not
counting buildings) in order to keep things simple and fast moving while you
get the rules figured out. If you really wanted to all play the same genre,
you could have the players who are well-stocked in that genre provide for the
players who are not. However it's also fun to have spacemen laying siege to a
castle while 20th-century policemen are trying to stop 16th-century sea
pirates from looting the town.
Castle men and castle weapons don't do that well against spacerobots and
spaceships, of course; they need to build a lot of fortifications to
counteract Spacemen's mobility, and cannons and catapults to knock down
spacevehicles. They do pretty well if you can build them a big forest with
tall trees (which takes some work, since most lego trees are not very tall) to
hamper flyers; it turns out a little like the Ewok battle in Return of the
Jedi.
