Hello

Don't feel bad - I post pics of Nap figures, and get almost no response. I think this section is just ... different.

I think your idea is good; as long as there is a Tom Cruise model, how bad could it be? :D

The use of obsolete edged weapons and ancient body armor sprinkled throughout formations with the contemporary technologies of high explosives and rifles. This violence backdropped by the beauty of Japanese architecture, and all fought holding a strict sense of duty, honor, and love of nation [by both sides]!

This is an underestimated genre of wargaming my friends!

You are right David, I hope that my Boshin War range can help to let people know this conflict.

And Tom Cruise, please :D.

Post by: JBB on February 17, 2014, 06:02:54 PM: Tom Cruise no but French officer Jules Brunet yes.
The last samurai is a movie on Satsuma rebelion and not Boshin war.

The Last Samurai is a mixed of both conflict, you can see a good review of the movie here:

Can we get a Tom Cruise model just to piss Jim Bibbly off.
