Well it seems you've reached critical mass and I could use an excuse to watch Ran again, when is the battle report?

snowcat@: in 2.2 light horse are dangerous, psiloi can be come a hero. Mesurement allow auxiliato mowe into a flankposition but not the slow troops. The tablesice of 60x60cm is an optimum.What you can use from V3 are the armylists... mark@: Kurosawa movies are great... ...but the armies of Oda Nobunaga didn't just fight other samurai armies. The war against the Iko-Iki rebels, who were actually rebellious peasants, Buddhist and Shinto monks, lasted 10 years...  |

...I was in Japan 9 times for 1 month each time and traveled to the castles or their remains. Most of the time I lived in Kyoto. From there some castles can be reached. Osaka about 1 hour away. But since I also have friends in Tokyo, I also visited the castles in this area, including Matsumoto on the island of Kyushu: ..die Mikasa in Yokotzuka...

...have had many samurai miniatures painted in Sri Lanka. For this I had to send understandable painting instructions with the respective back banner; here the Akachi clan:  ...at the Battle of Nagashino, Oda Nobunaga outwitted and destroyed the Takeda Cavalry. To do this, he built insurmountable cavalry barriers behind which the Teppo riflemen could safely shoot at Katzuori's cavalry. The picture below shows 2 barriers at the top and 2 schematic cross-sections at the bottom; linsk without lock, so that the cavalry can destroy the enemy; right with impenetrable lock. I think this kind of barrier can only be overcome by precise demolitions...  |
