No-- sadly I wasn't able to attend BrickFest. I've been lurking in the shadows
for a few years now, but most of that time was spent overseas in Japan. While
an excellent opportunity to build my collection, it was a bit of a drawback in
terms of getting to gatherings. I've been in the Annapolis area for about 3
months now. So I figure it's time to get a tad more active. The bulk of my
collection is in storage in Virginia right now, but I do have two SES a couple
of RR and a CC on hand. I can scramble a few Brigs or pinnaces together should
they be needed.
I've found a few sites with pics of the last couple of BrickFests and it seems
the overwhelming majority of them use small ships rather than the larger
sailing vessels. So the question is, which would be better to turn attention
to, building a smaller vessel or making a larger more heavily gunned ship? And
I get the idea that it's every man for himself in the games. Has there been a
game played where each ship is commanded by a different person, but each is
part of a larger fleet ( or maybe that would be too complicated ). Just some
questions to throw out.
I'm game to add a fleet to the battle should a time and place be appointed.
