Title: Samurai help needed please!
Post by: Phil Portway on 04 May 2024, 05:14:10 PM
To the hive,

As the title says, I am looking for help for a samurai in the age of Gunpowder around the 16th/17th century!

I require as a guide, the mix of Muskets to bows (if still being used) and spearmen, two handed weapons, Kantanas & Cavalry?

TIA

These should give you some ideas on what ratios to use.
