Here are the first pic's from the NELUG Brikwars event. As Eric J. said fun was had by all and we have already begun discussions for a second Brikwars event where we are not as constrained on time.

Are Brik Wars events limited to NELUG members? (IE, people 18+) And yes, I read all of the rules -- it doesn't mention this anywhere .. legomasterluke (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.general)

(...) I'd think that too -- but no .. to join a Brik War event, you've gotta be a NELUG member. And to be a NELUG member, you've gotta be older then 18. So no Brik War events for me for another 4 years :( legomasterluke (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
