Thanks for sharing - these will take a bit of digesting. They will rely on some specific basing to work though?

What foot print are you thinking a sonae will typically have? Do you think it will be best to have a sabot base that the various elements are deployed on?

I figure 100 by 50 or so for the core ashigaru and samurai together on a sabot with the missile troops and cavalry on 50mm wide bases making the whole sonae up to 200 wide.  The actual footprint wont matter too much so long as both sides are the same.

Thanks - I remembered you have a painting thread so have refreshed my memory on that.

I'll have a think about this a bit more. I like the concept, but it's very incompatible with my current basing (40mm squares). The Daimyo rules whilst lower scale are very compatible with my basing.

Peter Pig's basing is nominally 30mm square for 15mm figs; but like any rules, simple to adjust for scale and/or taste.

Literally, no one is a Facebook user, anymore - it’s dead.

The various gaming groups and manufacturers' pages and groups are all going strong, which is the primary reason why I use it.

That would work ok.  2 bases of each type would give a unit with a frontage of about 160.

OK, that could be good.






Ok, that could look good. I'll have to have a re-read of HC as when I checked your conversion notes I realised I couldn't remember what any of the special rules do!
