Thanks for the report. I'm running my own trials of the Brick Battles scenarios
this weekend, to figure out the same things. My two test groups are a bunch of
warhammerites and a bunch of non-gamers; hopefully that will give me a good feel
for both ends of the spectrum. I'll confess I have the opposite fear that you
do - I have this vision of running the event and having it be all but finished
after 45 minutes...
Good luck!
