| | | 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)

| | | | 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 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)

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)

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)
