Great job James.

Emilio

Thanks 

They are based on English pennies which are about 20-21mm in diameter.

We played the game and a report will be forthcoming this weekend 

cheers

That is what I thought. At first they looked to me todo be bigger, buy they look great.

Looking forward to seeing the aar. oh, and great paint jobs on the civilians, but you knew that!

Aha! A game was played on Thursday and much fun was had 

I had to put my feet up and let the bunny out after work but the scenery didn't take long to set up at all.

The small village of Kahano lays peacefully near the coast on the Kanto plain, unaware that a small raiding party of Wako and Ronin are on their way to steal and pillage.





The Murakami Wako start to make their way across the river


But the Ronin cross by the bridge and seem to be unaware that a small Sanada force is coming down the main street to see them off



More units of Sanada troops enter the village



The Murakami cross the river in force and dramtically see of a small unit of Sanada teppo



Meanwhile, the Ronin cross the bridge into the village proper and are met by the main Sanada unit, fierce fighting ensues in the narrow street






The Ronin are seen off and chased out of the village, loosing many men as they go




Seeing the threat from the unscathed Murakami, the victorious Sanada unit moves from the bridge to confront them







But they are beaten and the victorious Murakami have the village... We felt the images from the destruction of the village were too distressing for the gentle folk here so we leave it to your imagination...

Actually, there weren't any photos from the end as I forgot to take any 

Mo to follow in the coming weeks as the Murakami get braver and their attacks get larger. Can the local lord stop them before his daimyo has to intervene...

cheers

Shame you didn't get a photo of Marks Ashigaru hiding in the garden from the pirate archers

A veritable feast for the eyes, wargames porn at its finest.

And he wasn't kidding about letting the bunny out...

[olyreed]

Inspirational. Think I may be purchasing a few more buildings from you over the next couple of months. I want my village looking like that! Not envious at all. Honest..

[Mason]

Absolutely gorgeous set-up.
Proper.
That is what that is.
Proper!
 

And he wasn't kidding about letting the bunny out...

Now I am scared!
 



I must also note the use of a backdrop.
I do hope that you have the paperwork to prove that the services of a proper bona-fide, Union-affiliated Brother was used in the making of this production.
 

[von Lucky]

Sublime.

This is will double up as your terraformed Mars Victorian sci-fi board, right?

[Dr DeAth]

Great set of pictures Bibbles.  The game was fun to play, even though my forces got trounced - I'm claiming it was the distraction front the bunny being out, that and the umpire not knowing the rules properly! 

I will have my revenge.

[OSHIROmodels]

Many thanks chaps 

It was good to play as I might have mentioned, this was the first samurai game I've played for six years 

Shame you didn't get a photo of Marks Ashigaru hiding in the garden from the pirate archers

You mean this one... 


Drop me a line Colon, got plenty of stock in 

No backdrop workers were harmed in the making of this report 

Mars will definitely be staying red 

and the umpire not knowing the rules properly! 

We had an umpire 

cheers

James

I must also note the use of a backdrop.

I'm sure it's just Bibbly in a new t-shirt. He's putting on.  



Oh yeah, and well, awesome! Well worth 10 years of work.

[Malamute]

We had an umpire 

cheers

James

He had to blame someone for losing and for his decision to hide his troops in a garden
