Details:
Saturday:
Troopers in attendance were Hopfot, Buzzard, StarScribe, "wotf" (I'm not typing that full name everytime), MyKill and a human sized Lego Batman who may or may not have been one of our own in disguise. Wrangling was kdaptPreacher and Candice (Buzzard joined them after he lost his soles).
Although we were small in numbers, we gave our all for the day. Pushing through pain, sore feet, and even some malfunctions. We faught through it all to the bitter end. Come 1500hrs the crowds had reduced as the final group of ticket holders made their way through the venue. With the blessing of the Brisbricks organiser we debarted for the day.

Sunday:
Troopers in attendance were Hopfot (Though mostly wrangled), BobaCanuck and SideshowMel. That Lego Batman was there again too. Wrangling was Candice and Hopfot.
Absolutely buggered from the day before, Hopfot and Candice ventured forth for a second day. This time with an idea of how to proceed a routine of time on and off stand was devised to maximise trooper stamina. Starting the morning with a lonely Tusken Raider all on his own "holding the fort" whilst Boba Fett got ready with wrangler help, the Tusken powered on, lacking in vision and adequate airflow. Once Boba was on the stand a quick 5 minute break was taken by the Tusken to breathe, cool down and power on until our Biker scout arrived. Once Boba and the Scout were both on the stand Hopfot stood back from trooping and aided in wrangling the 2 troopers. Breaks were had, stamina was refreshed and trooping continued through the long day. Only 6 sets of tears from frightened children were counted this day, perhaps these will be future cases for up coming PhD Buzzard.

I can only thank and commemerate the efforts of all troops over this weekend of Brisbricks. They not only put in the full expectations of their duty, but went over and beyond it.
Oh and Batman was cool too.

Charity Funds Raised:
$2000 donated to the Redback MS Moonwalk team by Brisbricks. As a thank you for our efforts.

Injuries / Malfunctions:
Buzzard lost the soles of his shoes.
Hopfot's Mando Cape came off during de-armouring

Public Incidents:
Nothing beyond the usual, occasional frightened child at the awe of the Empire's might...... and Boba Fett (you know what you did)

Mission Status:
Beyond Successful

Though would like to see a better number of troopers next year, this is after all an event that The Redbacks have attended since it's begining.
