Cool! And if anyone needs troops, I've got the extra Black Falcons, Crusaders,
Black Knights, Fright Knights, Royal Knights, etc. to accomadate :) [also a
sizeable supply of horses & dragons, weapons, etc]

That'd be quite the setup! I just got a few more tan baseplates and brown ones,
and I've been thinking of widening my village... The only odd point being the
bridge on the outskirts of town-- probably needs to be widened. Although that
could make for quite an interesting battle twist...
Just thinking out loud here-- My village is... about 4.5 by 7.5 (as measured in
32x32 baseplates)... I think our previous ones were roughly 6x10 and 7x7... and
given the increased number of troops, perhaps we'll want it bigger than those?
Or perhaps the closer range aspect will make them need to be more tightly
packed and need less space? I've got tons of extra green baseplates if need be,
a few extra brown ones, and 2 more tan ones... Too bad the traditional 32x32
road baseplates would look a little out of place... I KNOW we can scrounge up
those in quantity...

For now, anywhere in there (short of thanksgiving of course) is good for me...
Though I'd be strongly inclined to set it up one day and have the next be for
the battle... Also due to driving distance :)

Actually, I was coming into org.nelug to check on that-- I was also about to
work on some more buildings for it, other than my mini-office/apratment
building and the little store I've got at present that made their debut at the
last brickwars event... Hmm... Think I'll make a separate post...

Oooo, skeletal warriors! Can't wait to use those bizzare rules for them that I
seem to remember him starting to derive online...

Actually, seeing as I still have almost two weeks of vacation left that I've
been forced to put off taking, I can probably make it anywhere in that time
frame, even if it happened to be a weekday... however, I doubt we'll get many
votes for that :) So you can put me down for either...
