Samurai game

Last week we had a small game using Gav's Samurai figures.

I can't remember all the different names of the troops types so I will just simply show you the photos I took.

The rules used were a modified version of the LotR rules. Similar to the rules we use for our Dark Age games.



 This was really just a trial game to try out the rules.






Very colourful looking troops and an enjoyable game.

  3. Very cool. Even with a relatively simple layout, you've captured the 'feel' of Japan. What make are the figures?

    1. I think they are all Wargames Factory, but I could be wrong. Gav is away at present so I will try and find out when I next catch up with him.

  9. Nice looking field of battle and troops. In those days, the opponents went out to battle in some really fine looking clothes.

  10. Some beautiful shots here Rodger. Especially the close-ups near those pine trees. I particularly like the mounted figure. The way the main is back against the wind adds to the feel of the charge.

  11. I agree with the others, amazing figures. I always afraid of watching Samurai games reports becouse every time have an idea of paint some for myself. So far I am strong enough to resist of this, but after this raport the first thing was checking the Perry's range of Samurai...

  12. Great looking samurai, Rodger. I recognize some as Wargames Factory, I think? Very nicely painted up.

  14. As others have said, a beautiful looking game. I have a deep fondness for Samurai. I've got some figures, and actually managed to play a game of Ronin by Osprey. It's a great little skirmish level game, heaps of fun :-) How did your game play out?
