Rules for LARGE scale samurai battles?

[jchaos79]

I personally recommend you Warmaster ancients for big massed battles, dealing with simple rules and a great historical simulation recreation feeling.

To get the figure count high and the complexity low, I like impetus.  I find the mechanisms elegant but reflective of reality at least for the periods I do.  And free is good; all the best stuff is in the basic rules.  The army lists can be ignored (or just used as a stats mine) to whatever degree you choose if you are not playing tournaments.

New 'Hail Caesar' book two has in interesting twist on Samurai, not sure they are in period for you...

Personally I'll be using the Peter Pig 'Battles in the Age of War' rules - I think from my reading through that they give the right feel that I want.

Sorry I have not been about for a wee while, I have been moving house  , but I would also be interested in knowing a bit more about the Peter Pig rules please.

I don't use this rules, but was also interesting to learn something about it. So I googled and found this on TMP :

We used a set called Great Captain depends on how big you want the game at two recent shows we put on demonstration games of the battle of Sekigahara with 4000 figures on the table played in a few hours. There are some pics on my blog, and Leon took some at the shows, easy to learn and a great game.
