So:the objectives of this scenario, each player get's a team of people we all agree is roughly equivalent to all the other teams, and starts wherever they want on the map. Whoever has control of the most buildings at the end of 10 turns is the winner. "Control" means you have the most minifigs inside of the building at the end game.
Overwatch shots:
here we see the crack-cola factory, and adjacent movie theatre
Here we see an office building where people are still working; probably bickering about wether they should use english or metric units on their next project.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My army consisted of these Iron Mountain Legion esque troops that were all super decked out in custom armor from brikwariors (Pretty good quality parts mostly btw)
Another army consisted of the Akkadian Empire!
the next team is the imperial Defence Force! (Peaches)
Various razgrizzly convention attendees were also in attendance
also; the evil green things from outer space made an appearance, sickening everyone greatly with their foul presence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We aren't really sure what this geometrical feature in the center is supposed to be... but we are counting that as a building too, and worth the same as 2 other buildings.
Anyways, the imperial defense force takes the first turn, opting to move most of their soldiers into the crack-cola factory, while leaving a few snipers behind to pick off the razgrizzlies. There's quite a lot of heavy manufacturing equipment inside here, none of which appears to be used in the creation of crack-cola.
Likewise, the razgrizzlies start to move in to the movie theatre, taking cover from the IDF's snipers
Obligatory photo proving that there were girls playing
The akkadian player opts that it would be wise to spread out and "capture" as many buildings as possible early on
My Iron Mountain soldiers hole up inside the Yellow Dog Tavern and an appartment building, opting to have people with ranged weapons hang out near windows on the top levels to rain lead down on any who draw near, while the close-combat equiped soldiers will gaurd the doors.

TURN TWO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IDF climbs on top of the Crack-cola factory and creates sort of a firing line, so as to tear into anybody who comes close.
Chewbacca from the IDF also steals theconstruction crew's bulldozer
Other IDF troops scale to the top of the movie theatre to take shots at evil green things. The razgrizzlies are still inside the movie theatre, but the IDF seems to just be ignoring them at this point
Meanwhile these civilians mouths start watering, as their chicken is almost ready
The evil green things from outerspace start to gather near the central geometric sculpture, trying to take cover behind it's support pillars.
meanwhile, the akkadians have started to take defensive positions in all of the buildings near their side
The Iron Mountain legion also reaches the top of their respective buildings, kicking the civilians who live here off the balconies in the process.
while one player is bored, our favorite minifg "Mr. Drunky" and his chicken "Clucky" fly through the air around the battlefield on a majestic snail steed.

Skip some turns to get to the end game, because I was lazy and didn't take pictures
-------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see from the following photos, this is basically what happened to each team:
IDF: Spread out and fired down on evil green things for a long time, eventually ventured across the middle to kill Akkadians, but got massacred by the iron mountain legion in the process
razgrizzlies: Holed up in the movie theatre the whole game, didn't do much else. I feel their team didn't have enough figs compared to other teams. Killed a couple of green things and IDF
Green things: Captured office building and bike shop and pet store, also took control of a grabage truck and used it to run over anybody who walked in the middle.
Akkadians: Spread out too thin and got picked off one by one by various other armies until there were only like two left at the end of the game, but those two managed to capture the middle sculpture at the end
Iron Mountain Legion: Pretty much just holed up in their two starting buildings and sniped the shit out of the Akkadians and IDF, generating a high kill count. Towards the end of the game, spread out to the adjacent construction site and gas station, eventually winning the game.

End game thoughts: Was pretty fun. Although a lot of the time we all just stuck to our buildings rather than going out and attacking other people's buildings, which makes sense given the scenario, but meant that we didn't have as much inside-the-buildings conflict as I would have hoped. Definitely though, modular buildings make for excellent brikwars terrain, and we are planning on building more for an even bigger city next time! Overall it was just nice to be able to play brikwars again, as it's been a few years since the last big one, as I've been seperated from my lego and everybody else due to college.
