Took ten years

The photo report will have to wait until tonight as I'm having a problem with photobucket on my pad (I'll have the laptop out tonight)

cheers

Beautiful setup!!

And if it did take ten years it shows.

The ten years was the time taken to persuade my wife I needed a room

Right then, technical difficulties are abated so on with the action...

The year is 1586 and things are starting to hot up on the south coast near Nagoya. The Murakami clan are getting more arrogant with their raids and more wako are teaming up with them to partake of the spoils...

The small village of Kaigawa just inland from the coast with Sanada forces moving through it to intercept the incoming Murakami

The aforementioned Murakami and wako on the move

The Sanada moving through the village

The two forces get closer, who will spill the first blood!

The raiders enter the village and come under fire from some Sanada teppo on the periphery but with limited effect

The Sanada rush out from the village to try and catch the Murakami in the paddy fields (yes, I know there's only one

)

But are taken out by the roaming wako

The Sanada samurai 'hide' behind some of the village buildings (a ritual disembowelling for Sanada Akihito if he survives...)

They finally come out from cover into a hail of arrows which they pass through relatively unscaved and see off the offending archers with aplomb

After seeing off the archers, the samurai turn on the remaining Murakami foot troops and a bitter struggle ensues...

But the Sanada samurai are victorious (just) and chase the last remnants from the field

But in their victory they forget the wako who are left to raid the village and kill the hapless locals (only two though so it wasn't too bad

)

All in all, quite a bloody game with no clear victor (although others will tell a different tale).

Will nothing stop the Murakami from plaguing the coasts...

cheers

Bloody hell!!!

Some serious eye candy on display there, mate.
I have seen most of this at Salute and it never fails to impress again...and again.

I know that feeling.
The cupboard under the stairs can be quite claustrophobic at times.....

De 'Ath with the Sanada, by any chance?

Not on this occasion, it was Malamute who was skulking in the cover this time - my archers were out in the open for all to see

The game, the table and the miniatures all look great mate. Look forward to seeing more.

Lovely stuff

Well worth the ten years

Those corner hills...

Splendid terrain James.

Congrats on the move, and celebratory game.

Cheers

Many thanks for the replies gents

It was good to play a largish game on a sturdy table... I foresee many more to follow

cheers

Always a treat to see your gaming tables James, I hope that one day get to see at least one of them at Salute "live"

What rules were used with this, were there any Warlord special abilities in use (I faintly remember your previous post about such plans?)

I like to refer to it as making best use of the available cover.

A splendid game, most enjoyable except for my awful die rolls.

It was just a quick LLA punch up. Samurai were better than the normal troops, guns had a longer range, nothing special really.

I'll be giving the Sharp Practise mod an outing soon enough though
