I've finally got around to trying out the board game "A Most Dangerous Time" as the basis for a campaign.
BGG link: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27969/most-dangerous-time-japan-chaos-1570-1584

The first battle generated is the Battle of Yamanokami 1570. Hashiba Hideyoshi faces an attack by a combined Azai-Asakura army (on the right, represented by mostly Mōri banners) on the Western shore of Lake Biwa.

Very evocative! how is the campaign system working? Are you using your rulesets for the battles then?

Amazing! How do you integrate the battles with the campaign, in terms of both going from campaign forces to units on the battlefield, and from battle outcomes back to the campaign?

It's pretty easy as the armies in AMDT are all made up of the same basic counters that represent 1 or 2,000 men, there are no different types of counters or ones with different stats. So each counter become one or two units on the table-top in my Tenka Fubu rules. Losses should be able to be similarly applied, along with any lost generals. I'm still trying it out really, AMDT is one of those rules that I couldn't 'get' by just reading.

Really beautiful!
I noticed (from facebook) that the pictures were posted from a painting service page (ADC Painting). Is it yours?

Yes, ADC Painting is me. I use that FB page for posting in public groups. Facebook has an annoying habit of posting random public group posts onto friends' feeds with no context, so I don't usually use my own profile in public groups.

Another AMDT campaign battle. On the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, Azai Nagamasa (represented by Mōri troops) marches to retake Sawayama castle. An Oda force commanded by Shibata Katsuie stands in his way at Mushiyama.

Returning to the small battles project, and I've been painting up some 3D printed samurai. I can't emphasize enough how good these figures are, there's some more info as to who made the files and who did the printing on the 'blog here:

These figures have much more variety than the rather limited Baccus range, and should enable some more creative units.

Here are a gun, bow and spear unit, a 'bushidan' unit and an Oda command base.

Wow, I’d missed the 1st April battle pictures - the whole game looks superb.

The newest figures look good, 3D printed 6mm looks good

Outstanding work!

After a somewhat strange excursion into sci-fi, I'm back to the Sengoku again. This time revisiting the 'small battle' project in the hope of trying to get a rough draft of a set of rules together.
