August 3, 2004 - Rebellion Against the Jimbonian Empire

On the outskirts of the proud city of Jimbopolis, a force of rebels make their first strike against Jimbonian oppression, raiding a military warehouse for weapons and supplies. But were they prepared to discover the ultimate secret Jimbonian weapon: Catzilla?

I haven't seen a BrikWars battle report this awesome since BLOC's assault on Mount Jar-Jar. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten spoiled by everyone putting in their thousands of hours on models and scenery, and nitpicking over every detail of the rulebook -- but nothing beats the purity of armies tossed together at random, buildings made out of U-Haul boxes, ridiculous rules made up on the fly, and bad photoshop special effects everywhere. This is truly Brikwars at its best.

This battle also includes the single finest example of BW rulecrafting recorded thus far:

"Charlie wanted revenge on the mech, I wanted an explosion, and Matt didn't care, so naturally it exploded."

- excerpt from Chapter 48, "Boom of Course"

The straightforwardness and purity of that logic is an example for all future generations.

Catzilla is attacking!
Catzilla attacks! No one is surprised when the five-story housecat reveals that its eyeballs are actually deadly lasers.
