Samurai!
With the club once again opening up for participation, decided to take my Samurai with some basic terrain. I laid out the terrain in a haphazard method, placed troops on the table only in their clan grouping without any respect to tactical positions, and said to the players your troops start in those positions and gave the terrain descriptions ( this and that are rough ground, etc. ) Quickly looking around the table, I then gave them the briefest of objectives ( which turned out to all converge upon the village centre as I soon discovered ) and had them to it. So much for careful scenario design, eh? Still better than the 'kill the other guy' routine.
Pictures from the game:
 |
| Added a small contingent of Europeans to the collection. Perhaps rather un-historical but adds to any scenario design as mercenaries if needed. |
 |
| The 'sacred white stone' in the centre of the village. (Hey, I found this interesting very white stone in the gravel and so gave it its own sitting stool. Very Zen. And a scenario objective. ) |
