"bricks"?  Sorry, slang for AFV?

If so, sure there are rules for their use and the ideas are endless.  
They 
work well in SGII as long as you don't get crazy and put 6-8 on each
side!  
:-)

I most enjoy pitting one side with a mixed force in an attack against 
another side defending with only infantry and AT weapons.  Put
reasonable 
terrain on the table (for infantry defense) and it can be a tough game
for 
both side.

Another setup I have tried with success is the "Ambush".  The game
starts as 
the first shots are fired in an ambush with forces as above.  For the
"armor 
heavy side", you are in a tough position because you are way too close
to 
those enemy ground pounders (who will be in good defensive positions). 
And 
for the "infantry heavy side" you have to KO the enemy AFVs quickly
before 
they can bring their superior firepower to bear.  This later setup makes
for 
a nice, quick game also.
