Yi Koreans anyone?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

These are the Koreans that emerged after ejecting the Mongols. With the help of the Ming Chinese they successfully defeated 2 invasions by the Japanese under Hideyoshi. So who else is with me on this one? 

Obviously, once this full range (which includes Guard, regular army, militia, peasant guerrillas, fanatical Buddhist monks, and artillery!) is done, a full Ming Chinese range would be a natural follow up!

Entiirely agree that Koreans would be worth getting. Of course, the Chinese are far more important.

Yep coreans are more easly confront with japan historically. Could be great to have an foreing opponent for samurai army

Choson Koreans are a subject I have a personal interest in. I'd be doing them right now if I had the time, but there's quite a few other things I have to complete or start that do have to take priority. I am hoping to get some done by the end of the year, but I can't make any promises at the moment.

Info on Koreans is pretty scant, but I have had a bit of correspondence with the Perries, and they may be able to help me out. Its been a while since we did so , so I'll have to repoen that channel.
Ming troops are a logical follow up, but getting reliable info is problematic as mentioned on another thread. I imagine a bit of research would uncover the necessary info, but I am not thinking about the Ming till the Koreans are done.

"but I am not thinking about the Ming till the Koreans are done."



Thank you much!

Just as long as the Aztecs are clearly seen as no. 1 pike and shot priority!

Koreans would be nice.  Looking for a reason to buy and paint a Samurai army.

[FierceKitty]

Don't forget that the main raison d'etre for a Japanese army was to fight other Japanese armies. But they don't all have to be the same.

[Nicofig]

I agree but some Korean would be nice.

Looks like we'll be well taken care of when it comes to flags!
