Samurai gaming in Tucson
« on: April 13, 2016, 07:04:07 AM »
We did the Assassination mission from the Ronin book.  The ninjas successfully killed the Grandmaster of the Sohei.  It was a fun game and we are planning on playing again this weekend.

Thanks!

Are you talking about the fenced in yards or the rice paddies?

Fenced yards.

I have not considered rice fields yet as my table is quite small (3x3)

I started with a tavern thats almost done, and it will have more traditional wall, but I wanted something cool and easy for future peasant huts!
I am thinking about similar stone weighted roofs but did not have any idea for easy yards for them.

All the buildings are from Plasticraft Games even the pagoda.  I love their buildings, very economical.  They are made of a polystyrene foam sheets that are high density enough to be able to take spray paint without melting.

The fenced in yard I intend on getting a weave for so they are currently unfinished.  I plan on going to the craft store in the near future to see if they have wreath for basket weaving.

Damn you got me i thought its some Japanese styled sparse fencing, weaving will make it useful in many more settings but will be much more complicated :D

I am making my Tawern from scratch (and I chose to ambitious building as a first foray into construction - but its nearly finished now) and I will do some smaller huts myself too, and I plan to add 2 or 3 4ground buildings. No one around carries plasticraft and with shipping they are not so favorably priced against 4ground.

If you are in America you can get Plasticraft from The War Store or Miniature Market websites.  In Europe, you should be able to get Plasticraft from anyone selling Infinity Miniatures.

Very fine looking table.
How do you like the rules?
I purchased them a number of months ago.
Sadly, took a look at them and put them in my pile of rules.
Loaned them to a friend. He likes them.
But he thinks combat may take to long.
Do you have a opinion?

Hi Marine,

if your friend thinks combat takes too long, he propably only like games which take no longer than 30 minutes... ;)

We played some games with 150 to 200 Points and find combat fast and furious. After a few rounds you get used to the token distribution and then it is quite deadly.

Yes, the game flow is fast.  I can see how larger numbers of miniatures could increase complexity but we have not gone above 200 points.
