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 the minifigs). My castle interios is pretty
cramped as far as moving figs around. I also doubt that we would want to
use the interior because we would forever be pulling out the interior
sections to move people and then replacing it for the next turn (repeat ad
nauseum). Perhaps a hinged castle/castle wall creation would be better.
On another tangent, a Civil War era game sounds like a lot of fun too - you
still have calvary, etc. and the weapons aren't "too" accurate and
destructive ("too" being a relative term, of course).
