Brawler Bash Build-a-Bridge Initiative 2012!

**NEW for 2012** Brawler Bash Build-a-Bridge Initiative

We have some seriously sweet water and river terrain to put out this year. I am going to be liberal with the water so bring a snorkel or get to building a bridge. I was going to roll this out next year, but what the hay! There might even be a prize for the best bridge.

If you model up a bridge (so painted and everything) or bring a suitable terrain piece (borrowed or bought), then you can place the bridge on any table that you are playing on, with a water feature. A bridge that matches your army is even mas coolio.

Here are the specifics though:

-The bridge can be no wider than 7- 25mm models (so wide enough that a rank of 7 orcs can cross is ok-no wider).
-It must be placed BEFORE table sides are known and before any deployment of any type. If both players have a "pocket bridge" to place then roll off (or play paper/rock/scissors, have breakdance contest, armwrestle... just solve it ) to see who goes first.
-The bridge has to be able to reasonably span the water feature (no bridges going out to the middle of a lake for example)
-The bridge goes with you, when your game is up, the bridge comes up too.

Hi Erik, do you know approximately how wide most of the rivers are? This would be a big help in figuring out how long to make our bridges. Thanks!

I think 4 feet long would be about right.

I'd say 5-6" is the normal width for common river sections. Longer bridges are always fine though.

I don't want folks to be terrified of water world tables. It isn't going to be like that. There won't be water on every table.

The build-a-bridge initiative is a little "tongue in cheek", but I think it is a fun little side event.
