May 30th, 2004 - Platform System Corrections

After a number of complaints, the Platform system has been rebalanced to cater to smaller models.  Size" calculations and Power limitations have been scaled downward accordingly. Since the 2001 PDF is locked, the updated tables have been put into a Book Two Errata text file.

Two battle reports today with mysteriously similar conclusions - coincidence?  Or is this the natural course of BrikWars events?

 
Following Nelug's Bubble Gum Crisis battle, Team Villain's notorious leader Evil Mastermind (rumored to be none other than Joe Comeau) has sent out a memo describing the results of the Drastic Urban Meltdown 2003 initiative.  The announcement includes illustrated narration from the front line.

Meanwhile, Hendo and Teddy staged a battle for Moonbase control over at the OurCon convention.  Civilians played a surprisingly non-target-dummy role, but the results of the battle were unchanged, thanks to a quick-thinking soldier's ingenious use of the control tower instruments.

Trevor Attridge writes in to say that he's posted the rules to "Blocwars" as a super-simplified alternative block wargame.

The Studs crew stages a Napoleanic battle over a semi-fortified medieval town. They find themselves roundly punished for their errors when the fighting concludes in the most unnatural and offensive possible result: a military victory by the French!

NELUG hosted a pair of battles at JumpGate Game Day, combining the picturesque with the ridiculously violent.

The first was Shaun's medieval "It Takes a Pillage" scenario, in which marauding armies converge on an unsuspecting village in hopes of finding a hidden superweapon.  In a surprise twist, the exhausted combatants discovered that the superweapon could only be controlled by units carrying fried chicken.

To appease the spacers, Wayne staged his "Sanford and Son and the Tox Uthat" on a derelict spacecraft far in the future, with cameos from the stars of many NELUG sci-fi battles in years past.
