The New England LEGO® User's Group is the oldest, craziest, and most rabid of all the big BrikWars-playing clubs.  They are also the biggest pains in the butt when it comes to "helpful suggestions" for rulebook improvements.  But we can't say they haven't earned the right.

NELUG is largely based in and around the Massachusetts area but have been known to forage up and down the Atlantic coast in search of game.  Pictures from many of NELUG's games can be found on their web site - look for the BrikWars links in the left-hand column.

BLOC (BrikWars Legions, Ohio Chapter) is a group within BLOC (Buckeye LEGO® Owner's Club), and they have a penchant for staging bizarre and cross-genre battles.

BLOC is based in Ohio.  Write-ups from their battles can be found on BLOC Online, Drew Lawrence's Aircraft of the World, and Adrian Drake's Brick Frenzy.

Wamalug's credits include a number of BrikWars firsts, including BrikWars' first campaign of scripted scenarios and its first convention game.

Studs is the local LEGO® User's Group in Sydney, Australia, and they don't do anything small.  Their battles are vast and wide-ranging, involving hundreds of minifigs on the field.  This epic scale is made possible by a refreshingly loose attitude towards the rules, and there has occasionally been some argument as to whether they are playing BrikWars or some other game entirely.  Who cares?  The pictures are amazing, and that's all that really matters.

The Studs website can be found on Richard Parsons' Port Block site, which in turn is hosted by OzBricks.com.

Notorious Internet celebrity The Reverend Brendan Powell Smith has a habit of tricking his friends in San Fransisco into engaging in all sorts of unnatural LEGO®-related acts.  Chief among his collection of bizarre and disturbing websites is thereverend.com.

The Vancouver LEGO® Club gathers in the nether regions of darkest Vancouver, BC in Canada.  After a mysterious absence, they have returned even stronger as a burgeoning powerhouse of MiniFig Death web pages.

VLC's home page can be found at http://www.akasa.bc.ca/vlc/.  Full rundowns of their battles are in the MiniFig Death - VLC Edition section of Marc Bruyere's site. Alex Husby's write-ups can be found in the LEGO® section of her Xandria's Realm site.

Not all BrikWars battle pages are associated with regular groups.  Here's a few that didn't fit into any other categories.
