Having painted up a few units for my early feudal Japanese armies I thought I'd use them for another small playtest of my rules.

They're generally aimed at larger battles but actually worked okay for a quick game with a much smaller number of troops.

A contingent of provincial samurai aligned with the Minamoto have come across a Taira general and his personal retinue and the two forces clash across a small river.



Read how it unfolds here:

I'm still reasonably happy with the core rules but there are a few nuances to refine still.

Excellent report.

Interesting write up of a smaller game.

The river does look quite small though...

Thanks, more a stream than a river perhaps though the only one I have currently! It was only counted as a minor obstacle regardless.

Really cool

 

Super stuff, Matthew !
