He could sure blow up their hiding places though. And a caveman probably
isn't that much smaller than a womp rat, and Luke used to bullseye those all
the time in beggar's canyon. Good thing the Empire did away with the ASPCA or
Luke would never have heard the end of that one.
You know who would be good at taking out a whole bunch of minifgs, would be a
couple of fire-breathing dragons. Especially if you built one really big
dragon to back up all of Lego's cute little ones. Come to think of it, a nest
of dragons of varying sizes would be a fun army to play.

It would probably take longer for it to slow down to hovering speed, turn
around, then speed back up to strafing speed and return to the battle scene,
than it would just to turn around at full speed.

Yeah, we all remember how effective the army was in Viet Nam. They could land
whenever they could find a clearing, but they were taking fire from all the
trees.

I probably have about that many trees, but they don't make a decent forest,
they're too small for troops to hide under. Making a forest in BrikWars is
painful but it can be done. You have to build a whole bunch of tree trunks
out of brix, maybe a bunch of branches if you want your troops to climb around
in the tree tops, but then leave most of the canopy 'imaginary' or you'll
never be able to get your hands in there to move troops around. You could
also go to the trouble of giving each tree a canopy that is detachable as
needed.
