Genpei War with 'Bag The Hun'

I make cards for Ronin, however, i put a picture of the actual figure on the card. I also have a name on the figure and and the card also help. i then keep any counters on the cards.

Very nice. I do think having attractive paraphernalia adds to a game. I do a similar thing for Test of Honour, putting a photo of the figure on the ToH card. For WoHaB the figures look too similar to use photos, so I used number counters on the cards linked to small numbers on the figure bases.

Apologies for being late to the thread. That is a really interesting and inspiring idea, I am a fan of seeing rules for their mechanics or systems they use and fitting them to my setting. Thank you for posting,

It's been quite interesting. It started out more as a thought experiment than anything else, being more or less a direct port of 'Bag the Hun,' but I'm going to gradually develop it as more of a game in its own right.

16-a-side game last night. I've made some modifications to the rules, so the poor horses aren't getting hit quite as much as they used to. Still likely to have been some fairly steep vets' bills after this game. There were 2 instances of friendly fire where players declared shots against figures they thought were enemies....

Brilliant stuff (and built in fog of war…… priceless when it happens on the tabletop). This just looks great fun.

Hi,  Can you list the changes that you have made to the game?

Thanks

It was a fun game. The most effective thing on the table was a bush which unhorsed two of the Taira. A strict 'no takebacks' rule creates lots of (usually hilarious) player errors.

Main changes so far are a different combat results table, additional abilities for bushi and horses, and a morale system. I'll eventually get the changes written up and put on the blog, but it might be a while yet.

Another game, another two 'friendly fire' incidents.....





I've put a V2 of the rules up on my 'blog:
