So did you water it down, tamp it with a tamper and fill the cracks with
sand?

Well, I did a bit more than that. After the ground was excavated, I used
a gasoline powered compactor on the soil, followed by crushed stone,
followed by the compactor, followed by polymeric sand, followed by the
compactor. Ran it over the brick, too. I swept the sand into the joints
but the joints are not supposed to be tightly filled with the sand,
according to the brick supplier. I don't expect the brick to move.
