Not sure if everyone who needed to see this has, How many exactly are going
to be playing? Richard, Are the Space Pirates going to be along (with or
without Tanker Babes)? How many other Welshish STUDS? Does anyone need me to
supply a unit or two for them to throw into the fray?

Just after an idea of how many Victorians are likely to be making the
trip up, and what sort of forces they'll be able to provide for the >>>Brickwars battle
Speaking of which...what are the force limits?
More importantly, for those of us unfamiliar with Brickwars, where can I
find the rules that we will be playing with>

As previous arbiter of all things dicey, chancy and otherwise improbable,
it's likely my call on this one.
The rules are to be found at
http://www.teleport.com/~rayhawks/brikwars/contents.htm
These are the latest (2000) version.
You _should_ master the contents of chapter 1
and 3 if possible.
If you are fielding vehicles, chapter 4 is necessary and
if you are fielding large weaponary, check out ch6. To arm the rest of your
guys see ch2.
We'll play Teklevel 5 so when reading/designing keep this in mind.

Now that everyone is up to speed, we'll need a scenerio.

For countless generations (well the last few months at the very least) the
small planet of mehico (or vicland as it appears on star-charts) was the
target of some very (very, very) grumpy maruding space pirates. Deciding
enough was enough they mounted an expiditionary force to destroy the
pirates' home base, on the planet Colovale in the Welshishish system.
Unfortunatly for the mehicans the Welshishish secretly support the pirates
in order to undermine the trading power of their rival neighbour and so
provide some hefty military support for the pirates. The stage is set for a
romping good battle.

There are no limits on the amount of stuff to bring but be aware that game
time is of the order of (number of figs)squared. Teklevel5, 2000version
rules. No commanders (one hero on each side will be designated commander and
have his stats bumped, yes this may be worked out pre-event), heroes and other
specialists • Oops, it's actually ch7.
must follow ratios given. (but you can organise with
other players the satisfaction of these limits, ie they bring the 7 troops
and you provide the hero.) Finally the most important note. You must have a
peice of paper (or some other readable copy) with the unit(s) statistics,
weaponary, special notes information shown.

I'm not a bookkeeper so I'm putting my foot down, no info, no play.

Please keep this in mind, I'm happy to help anyone write out numbers at
Pete's but on the day it'll end up being too hectic. If you're having
trouble with this please e-mail (I check it regularly) and we'll see what we
can do to help.

James (who's archangel assault vehicle are looking very spiffy)

(...) I'll try to toss together a correctly classified, if crudely crafted, corsair crew (or are they?). They might be a little bit Ninja and a little bit Nemo, but otherwise very very Welshishish. --DaveL (23 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
