Samurai rule sets

Furthermore - and again in common with Amazon’s description, which appears to be taken from the book itself - it’s historically dubious, conflating the Onin War (1467 to 1477) with the entire Sengoku period, which can be taken to have begun with that conflict, but lasted until at least 1615.

Saved me the trouble of saying it.

Apologies for the Necromancy but I see there is another Samurai
rule set up from Caliver now called No Dachi No Dice anybody know anything about it. Sounds like Mass Battle?

I had a chat with the author of those rules.   

I quote
 "No Dachi No Dice" is a fun, dynamic and exciting game for 2 to 10 or more players that will run for 1 to 4 hours fitting within a club night or equally a full day of gaming! A game that relies on base sizes rather than figure scale allowing it to be played with any figure sizes from 6mm to 54mm! Amazing looking at 6mm but Spectacular at 10mm and 28mm scales and only needing 15 bases for a full army but no upper limit for those mega games! Just 60 28mm figures will see you with enough to start this epic adventure Ideal for Two Dragon figures or the forthcoming Wargame Atlantic 10mm plastics.


no turn order or turn phase, a unit activates when its Tai Commander receives a Hikyaku. Daimyo may send out new Hikyaku at the rate of one after every Tai activation (including enemy activations). Each Daimyo may only have on the table a maximum number of Hikyaku equal to their honour (always a minimum of 1).

I have just got it and still trying to suss it out to be honest.
Initial thoughts are yes you will need dice and lots of different colored counters.
