Thank you all for your kind comments!
We are going to play another Japanese themed game this Saturday and I'm planning to take more pictures from the upcoming game to post here.
Thanks for the explanation of you thoughts on the two rule sets, I usually play solo games and bought Ronin but I don't think the combat system works very well solo, or maybe not at all really.
I don't think that Ronin will work well for solo game at all taking into account that you need to choose between your attack and defense options in each fight, and it is important to predict what tactic your opponent is going to use to react accordingly. Still there is a chance to offset this with some good roleplaying.
