Thanks for hosting the meeting! I really enjoyed myself. It's great to get together with a different variety of folks. I scored a little bit of a deal on the way home, I found a 1349 LEGO Studios Steven Spielberg MovieMaker Set for $45 or something (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I had a great time today talking to Frank, Tim and Jean. It was nice to meet Bert for the first time. I hope next time we can have as much fun, and maybe an intro game into Brik Wars. It sounds like a lot of fun, and a good way to show our stuff at (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

Frank: Thanks for driving up. It was great to meet you and discuss our collective favorite hobby! Thanks also for bringing such a great assortment of built sets, unbuilt sets (especially the European Shell sets!), parts, and literature (like the (...)

(...) 17th will be pretty busy for me; I leave for a 10-day trip to the UK on the 18th. Guess I'll miss this one. Why don't we plan a BrikWars game for our April meeting? That should give everyone ample time to build troops. I'd set a pretty low CP (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

(...) If you folks want to think of the Pirate Game for May, I don't have too much on my calendar yet for May. I probably won't be able to make the April meeting (but depending on what my exact plans are for Easter weekend, I might be able to drop (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I enjoyed seeing the castle, and I'm glad it went back together again ok, though of course such disasters (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I think we should keep it simple. Probably like king of the hill or something for the game. We should probably decide on what theme we want. Do we want modern weapons or medieval weapons. It doesn't really matter to me. I don't have much as it is. I (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

This sounds like a good idea. I would suggest agreeing upon a basic backstory in advance so we can all build what we need along those lines. That might help limit the problem of "overbuilding" that you allude to. Tim "John Kornhaus" (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I like the Castle idea. There could be defenders in the castle and intervening reinforcements outside the castle. There could be many ways to play the game. The middle ages would be a great way to play and it would be a good first game. Did you want (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

(...) Medieval BrikWars would be a nice change and should solve the too-powerful vehicle problem. I've never had a chance to try out the close combat rules, most of my troops are toast before they can come into range for hand-to-hand fighting. john (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I could bring my castle again, although it may not be the best for Brikwars (no, I'm not talking about durability either!). I may be wrong, but I was thinking that a more wide open keep might be best, both for access and maneuverability (ours, not (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)

I agree on the castle bit. A more open defensive position may be better. I bought some troops today for middle ages type combat. I need to get some guns to upgrade them to musket troops if I want to play civil war or napoleonic campaigns. Who is (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.richlug)
