The next BrikWar event....

This one will be in Cleveland, correct? At Adrian Drake's house,
specifically?  On the 28th of May?

Yes, it will be at my house in the western Suburbs of Cleveland on Sunday,
May 28th.


1) I've had a change in schedule -- the Memorial Day weekend is open for
me.

1.5) Who will I be able to carpool with? (My mom wants to meet you, in
person before she gives me permission to go to Cleveland.)

2) I trust that whoever I will carpool with (Geno Melone?) has the
address (and directions) to Adrian's home?

Actually, nobody has the directions yet.  As soon as I have confirmation
of everybody that's coming, then I'll send them out.


3) Who all will be coming?

Obviously I'll be there, and my buddy James from North Carolina will also
be there.

Without the 6:00 PM cutoff this time, this should be fun.



4) What will the terrain be this time? I'm all for:
    A. City!
    B. Wide open "desert" spaces, akin to Australian plains.

My giant mountain is still together, so we can use it.  Keep in mind that
I don't have any tables as big as the one we had at the library (unless I
tear apart my collection worktables) so we may need a smaller battlefield,
or play on the floor, or figure something out (I dunno).  Maybe I can go
to Home Despot and buy a couple of sheets of cheap plywood and make a
bigger table.  Hrm, that's an idea...

I would love a city, but I doubt we'll have enough buildings.  Unless we
build some extremely basic buildings, anyway.  If everyone who comes can
build one or two buildings, then we could have a pretty good city (though
a lack of road plates might be a hindrance)

I've got 1 road plate...


The problem with wide open plains is that there's no cover, thus large
weapons like my Rampage would wreak havoc on the battlefield until the
enemy can get close to it.  now if we put a bunch of boulders scattered
about, that might work (Geno and I have plenty of burps)

Actually, I was thinking speed as my cover. How many bumps-per-second is 60
mph for a lego minifigure?


Another reason I'm partial to the wide open desert plains is because of how
long it took us to reach the other side of the battle field with TL5 armies.

No more of those @#$%&ing chokepoints!!


Non-related to this, we STILL have to come up with a name!! Who likes
LBO?
(Lego Builders of Ohio)

I'm still partial to OHLUG, because then it fits more cleanly into the
rest of the named groups thus far.  We'd basically be a subchapter of
GMLUG, I think.

I dislike the LUG. "Lego Users Group." We aren't a "user," we're a builder!
Besides, what does OHLUG stand for?

Ohio ... Lego Users Group?
OHio Lego Users Group?

BTW, I will be bringing a TL3 army. (TL3 being "modern," right?)

TL2 is medieval , TL3 is pirates, TL4 is modern, and TL5 is space.
I'll probably be TL5 again.

Ok, correction: mine is a TL4-2 army.
