Ronin miniatures looks great ! Do you know if it will be the same scale compared to Okko miniatures ?

Depends on the band, pts value and the choices you make but it's generally under 10 figs for a mid sized game.

For a small 100pt game you'd probably have 4/5 figures depending on Buntai restrictions.  :D

Well, I have anyway.

Under 10 minis sounds really great! I am a slow painter, so anything that doesn't require miniatures by the dozen is perfect for me!  lol

Got my package yesterday - the figures are lovely  :-*, and just flicked through the rules, but they look good

As already said, you don't need much (depends on characters, weapons etc), but a sample force given in rules consists of 4 Ashigaru & a Samurai. However, I'd keep missiles to a minimum - it seems most buntai have a restriction that no more than a quarter can have a teppo, & no more than half can have a missile weapon.

So who are your US stockists that those of us in the US get the figs from?

Brigade Games USA,
On Military Matters,
Warpath.
Maybe Architects of War and Age of Glory, I'm not sure if they have ordered yet, but they are regular stockists of North Star 'stuff'.

Lets not forget War and Peace in Australia, we shipped the figures out to him last week.

In Germany, Miniaturicum will be receiving their order soon, as will Battlefield Berlin.

I think their order has either gone or is going early next week. You'll have to forgive me, I'm just the boss, the other guys at North Star deal with the orders  :D

Could ronin handle multiplayer games? Say three a side.

Received my Ronin figures and book yesterday. Looks great so far :)

Hi
Have the rules and we plan on trying them next week. However does any one know if OSPREY will provide a PDF of the cheat sheet, and perhaps the log sheets also?

Thanks
William

PS thanks to North Star for great service!!!!
