Hi All, I've been collecting a list of potential Brikwars game themes, all of which I'd love to participate in.

(...) Wow, Great winter scenes, that must be the first Lego snowthrower I have ever seen. I was alarmed about the polar bear, until I saw his tamer next to him with a chainsaw (I guess they don't respond to whisp or chairs). Thanks, George (21 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Sweet job! The snowball fight is very well done! The details in the nativity scene are also nice. I would have never thought to use knives as skates--beautiful! Overall, the layout looks terrific! Dave K (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
