Amen brother!
As for the status of Brik Battles, it is very much alive. Right now I am focusing mainly on the Faction development. Things are rolling along, but since there has not been much voiced interest from the community, I have been soloing the development. (A big thank you to Red Bean who has been active in graphic development)
Thrall, when you first posted your lizzard men, my first thought was that they would be awesome for BrikBattles! If you would be interested in bringing them in, that would be awesome.
Just a note, the rules have changed dramaticly from those posted on the site. I have just been waiting to refine them for posting.
Anyone who is interested in BrikBattles, feel free to email me @
ramus@brikbattles.com and I can share what I have to date. The biggiest need is for people to actually play a game or two and give some feedback. (You can only play yourself so many times

)I have been keeping my eye on the "WARHAMMER?" thread & it looks like there are some potentials there.
My main goal for making BrikBattles is:
1) Making it fun, detailed and playable while still keeping it fairly simple for everyone to play (Warhammer & Warhammer 40K are just a little too "deep" for some people)
2) Taking a serious and structured approach to the wargame (Brikwars annoys me too)
3) Making a game that is expandable and everchanging. I a excited for poeple to take their MOC's and make them into BrikBattles playable items) Especially warmachines and custom figures.
Thanks for your support Thrall.
