Living Like a King Map Name: Studica Grid: F2 Rick Robbins: High above Metropolis, the President of Filace resides in his penthouse on the 105th floor of his building which looks suited for a King. Our network was granted an exclusive sit down with the president during the media black out to discuss his the situation in the world and to try and understand how a man like this makes his decisions. The President: Welcome to my home Rick. Rick Robbins: Thank you for having us sir. This is truly a marvelous place you have here. Fit for a King if I say so. I'm in awe of the gold floors. The President: Thank you Rick. It's tremendous. I had it built by the best builders in the country. Let me show you around. The President: This here is the banner from the World Unity Fair that I was honored to chair for some time. These festivals are tremendous. Huge turn outs. Really great people. Rick Robbins: I hear we won't be having one this year, its truly unfortunate. Do you think we could use a little unity in a time like this? The President: I do. I will tell you this, we have great unity right now in our country and with our allies. Nobody wants what's going on right now. It's absurd frankly. Rick Robbins: I like what you have here on the wall. These old recruiting posters from way back. What do these mean to you? The President: It means a lot to me frankly. I think there is always more work to be done, no matter what point in life you are at. I gave up a comfortable life to be President. I have a great company and employ thousands of people. I could have very easily stuck to that life but work needed to be done. Our country is in big trouble. We've been getting pushed around for too long. Rick Robbins: Do you believe that to be the reason we've seen such provocation from Briolui and Toohati as of late? The President: Sure, they've been getting away with murder, literally, for so long now. They don't realize that the days of Filace laying down and taking it are over. Nobody wants bloodshed. It's horrible. The worst decision you have to make as a President is to send your men and women to war. But we cannot allow these practices any longer. **Loud Blaring Beeping Rings out from the Panel on the Wall** Rick Robbins: What in the world is that? The President: Stay calm Rick. That's my intercom from the security office on the first floor. *Touching the Panel* This is the President. **Sir we have a breach. We believe two intruders slipped passed security and are on their way up. Can you shelter in place until security arrives?** The President: Send your team up, we'll switch to the secure radio and follow protocol. Rick, take the pictures off the wall there. Rick Robbins: Mr. President, what should I do? The President: *Turning on the hand held secure radio he pulled from the wall* Comm Check, this is the President. **We have you sir.** The President: Rick, help me move the flag structure here. Rick Robbins: Sir what if your security doesn't make it in time? The President: They will Rick. If they don't we're prepared for that as well. Rick Robbins: Mr President! I'm no.... The President: Take the gun. My safe room is right across the hall. We'll be fine. Rick Robbins: The crew had to stop filming at that point and leave the equipment behind so we could fit in the safe room. We made it there with no trouble while the President watched over us until security arrived. The intruders were apprehended, we have no information on them at this time. I thanked the President for his hospitality and he vowed to reschedule with us to continue our discussion in the future.

Mobile Artillery is very nice!

Why is this labeled "Frago"? That passed a while ago and your build has nothing to do with that either way. I'm confused.

Something to consider as well. Just because you haven't unlocked naval missions yet, doesn't mean you don't have a navy. You can refer to these things in your story line, but you just can't build them. Think outside the box of the parameters of the missions. Catch my drift?

What is this?

Tragedy Before Destruction MAP NAME: STUDICA GRID: F3 The Devils Highway is a long winding patch of land that makes a perfect clearing through the jungles and canyons of southern Filace straight into Briolui. Through History and Time, this natural earthen roadway developed quite the folklore among locals. It is said that the road was carved by the devil himself to draw the war machines into hell and create a path for the unworthy to get away from it. Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr Tonight proves to be like any other night as the military heads off to war and the bystanders try to get away from it. Hour by Hour Heavy Vehicles.... Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr Soldiers...... Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr and the innocent..... Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr pass each other on the down slope to war. Tanks pound the ground... Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr and mortars rip through the sky.... Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr as the willingly damned pass by those looking to be saved. Great Brick War by Jesse Beeze, on Flickr

Halfway to the finish hope everyone's builds and team planning are going well.

Probably not a good idea. We've gone to great lengths to try and create fake countries so we can avoid any potential conflicts.

I've received this question a few times: Regarding sabotage builds. Several people have asked about having "advisors" from their country training/adivising/supplying the foreign freedom fighters. This is okay, but they should not be the focus of the build. The underground/ rebels/ freedom fighters/ resistance should be the focus. Again, no high speed NAVY SEAL nightvision and plate carrier stuff going on here. Players who do not stick to this guideline will receive lower scores.

We add countries based on demand and availability. Deland Republic opened up as we had a player drop out and I just updated the list. Please make sure you post your sigfig and AAR post as well. I will add you to the COAC Chat so you can get acquainted with the team.

@Connor Querin please see above as stated earlier, only the above countries are currently available.

Connor, glad to see you finally jumped in! Welcome. If you could please elaborate a bit more on what you'd like to do with the defense company, I could probably better answer your question. You're idea sounds very interesting. Since you're new to the game I have to drop the disclaimer: *Be sure that you have read all of the rules regarding at what point you unlock certain features of the game such as armor, planes, navies, etc. Also, you may want to look at the Brick of Nations and other member builds to give you an idea of the political landscape so you don't drastically change anything that we've already established.* You have some work to do, but trust me you will enjoy it. Welcome!

Welcome Connor! Please look where it says Round 2 Countries available in the first post. Currently we have several countries with openings. Frankly, I'd like you to pick a COAC country as we currently have less members than the RON. Let us know what you decide.

This will look great with 2 giant holes in it billowing out flames and smoke. nah it looks cool

I would have thought that some of these guys would be in your base in Filace by now ready to make some moves

I would try to refrain from using non-lego related items in your build (does not reference 3rd party company Lego accessories). You could always build a camo with Lego net pieces and different foliage.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..... If only I can fit this in around GBW Builds..... Mayyyyybe.

Done.

Nice job. Now you gotta get a legit Neo and you'll have it perfect. I think brickforge makes the jackets.

@Stash2Sixx Can you help with the above?

Campaign 2 Into the Storm Map Name: Studica Grid F6 Time: 0130 Hours Forces of the elite Refnor Special Boat Service launched down river. Their Mission was to take out a small SAM Site to clear the skies for an aerial bombardment from Filace that was was to follow shortly there after. Immediately, upon coming up on the beach, the team came under fire from a defensive position at the post. The team was scattered. Some lay dead on the beach head.... Others crawled into the woods to try and regroup. The team was then engaged by a defensive force at the SAM Site's control bunker. The Toohati forces captured several of the Refnor Team Members and gathered their wounded. In the early hours of the morning the COAC countries launched a surprise offensive campaign against the RON. Tactical locations were bombarded from the Sea and the Air to make way for a ground assault. Local News Initial losses for both sides have not been reported as correspondents have been ordered off the air during this initial phase of the invasion to prevent any information from getting out which could hurt either side. Campaign Guidelines Countries that are part of the COAC are to build MOCs depicting their side assaulting fortified positions of the enemy. Countries in the RON are to build MOCs depicting their side defending an assault. Nations that currently have not declared war will need to do so before submitting combat builds or find other creative ways to build something to fit in with the guidelines. This a combat based game so if you're holding out from declaring war, you're really missing the point. All builds must be posted as a new topic in the “Great Brick War” subforum, the title prefixed by, "(GBW- CP2)" followed by the Country you’re representing, and then your MOC’s Title. Example "(GBW- CP2) Filace - Fueling up the Jets") Being that this is the first combat campaign, a strong emphasis should be placed on depicting your country's military forces, battle tactics, etc. Neither side should show their forces definitively destroying the opposition. Showing successes is okay, but not total domination. The winners of the campaign will be decided based on the points awarded from judging. This means if your team doesn't score well, it's possible for your forces to be beaten back. There is no minimum or maximum size requirement for this build. All LDD Builds must be labeled- Example: (GBW- CP2) Country - Title of build (LDD) All builds must be new MOC’s and not prior builds. Photo Editing is to be kept to a minimum with only real edits of lighting and color correction. No special effects. Players may crop one picture of their MOC onto a background picture to help with their landscape if they’d like. Pictures cannot be bigger than 800x600 Players may post a link to an offsite host such as Flickr where Higher Res pics are located. Be cool and share your photos in the GBW Flickr Group! Please refer to the General Rules Topic for limitations based on your Point Level. Upon completion, players must also post a link to their build in the AAR Thread as well letting the judges know that it is eligible for scoring. Campaign Duration 4/28/17 - 5/31/17 All builds will not be finalized until the closing date for the campaign. Players can edit their posts up until that point. As long as it is 5/30/17 somewhere in the world, you can submit. Use this as a deadline https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/baker-island The Outcome The winning team will have an opportunity to choose a location where they would like to concentrate troops and launch an offensive. All players who participate will be awarded the points they earn for each build. The winning team will earn this tag. Players can have only (1) GBW Tag in their profile at a time. If you would like this tag, please let a GBW Staff Member know. All Questions Regarding Campaign 2 should be Posted in THIS TOPIC.

I wasn't even planning to do one of these builds and then when I noticed no COAC guys signed up, I threw my name in the hat. Afterwards four of them decided to do it haha. So at that point I had to do one otherwise I would have lost a side build for this period. The jeep will live on in bigger and better landscapes. Thanks.

Campaign builds should include your SigFig Character. Sidebuilds can include, but do not need to have them involved.

Im awaiting a big order of Dark Grey from far far away myself.... Haha great build man!
