Hi there,
I was brand new to any kind of LEGO event, especially BrickWars. I came to
Brickfest just to play Brickwars, but got happily distracted by other things
(including my gf who dragged me away every night before the pub crawls,
damnit).
Anyway, I am the guy wearing the white t-shirt and jeans in these shots. I am
linking a few images of our TL5 BrickWars game in this message.
Overall, it was a blast. My mech blew up huge in the 6th or so turn, but I
ended up capturing and holding that base in the middle of the pics (which was
the objective of the game). I have more detailed pictures I took which I will
upload to my BrickShelf account sometime this week.
The initial setup. Abandoned base in the middle, 4 players around it.

Richard Shamus(apologies if I got the name wrong) looks out over the
battlefield.

The biggest and coolest explosion of the game, my 140 CP mech atomized.

Anyway, there are a few shots. Overall the game went smoothly, and we made up
some rules as we went. John and I have definately decided to play another
game, learning the 2000 ruleset a bit more and building armies and terrain
before we get there to save time. It was a lot of fun, IMHO. A great ruleset,
I must say, that lets things blow up a lot.
