I posted earlier that I was going to try to get a game up and take some shots of it. I grabbed a few friends and laid out a crude map ( space considering-- it was pretty cramped ). We were really playtesting some new rules, but it was fun to boot. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.western)

(...) I think the Pirate Game is a "given," provided that Frank, Chris, and I (or any two of the three, I'd bet) are attending. I'm planning to be there this coming year, so there you go. But we usually go campaign-game, though no discussion has yet (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.western, lugnet.pirates)

Just wondering, has anyone put up for a Pirate Game or Brikwars for the 2002? and if they have, are there any ideas for scenarios or situations? I'd put a plug in for a Napoleanic, Civil war style BrikWars game if there hasn't been an idea put forth (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.western, lugnet.pirates)

(...) If I'm understanding this right, five patrols would be a troop. And a troop would be roughly 80 persons. I like the division, but being that Legos are in a mini scale, a troop or two would hardly seem to constitute an Army. I like the actual (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.western)

Ben - That's a nifty looking station. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I particularly liked the way you turned the blue-uniformed soldiers into railroad workers. My question is whether this station is based on some actual structure you're familiar (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.western)

Just putting a feeler out for army sizes. I'm in the process of putting up a webpage as time allows, which isn't a whole lot. But my question is, how big are some of the armies out there? And what is a good unit size? I'm kicking around about 300 (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.western)
