Not sure. If it's lots of fun I could go for an 12-18 hour stretch with meal
breaks. I'm willing to commit to 6-8 hours for sure.

Nope.

Sure, as long as it's not bizzarrely complicated. Does this use a tape
measure, or studs, or what for distance determination? I have tape measures!

I could.

What do you need? I could try building a port if you'd give me some rough
sizes to work toward. I can't guarentee authenticity though :-)

OK, let's figure it out. First, how big must an island be for it to really
count? I'm thinking that those ships are big and it'll have to be fairly
large. To what degree is the game just a miniatures board-game? How does it
go beyond that?

I'm taking Friday off, so I'll be around to help with setup at that time if

Is the public going to be around, or just the participants (of the brickfest, I
mean)? If it's going to be a public event, it might be worth setting up ASAP,
and playing during certain timeslots so as to drag it out and leave it set up
as long as possible. But only if security is satisfactory.

See above.

Good for me. Your collection wildly dwarfs mine.

What counts as hefty? How many would there have to be defending islands to be
a reasonable force? You mentioned in a previous post that it's primarily
non-fantasy. How important is that? Islanders could have tribal magics or
something to get them into the game.
