Yes. That entire scenario would be boring, pointless ... and it would take
hours to do.

We should do that EndorMoon supplement sometime. From what I've heard of it
(From you, no less!) it sounds pretty fun.

You know, this entire game opens up huge RPG adventures. We should try a
BrikWar event to be more "RPG-like." Build a Lego hero, and then use him to
squash little NPC's.... more like Dungeons & Dragons.

It would be easier to monitor unit HP that way, because there would be no more
then 8 -plus or minus a few- units fighting at one time..
