BUSHIDAN: Miniatures Rules for Small-Unit Warfare in Japan, 1543 to 1615 AD

Control the forces of samurai families, ikko-ikki covenants, pirates, bandits, and warrior monks - or even forces engaged against the Japanese of the era such as the Ming Chinese and Joseon Koreans. Focus is on the small-unit tactical systems that were developing to meet the demands of the new age of warfare. Players must plan their tactical 'box of tricks' with care, and choose the ferocity, style, and cunning that their forces will bring to the battlefield. The game includes a campaign system to allow players to pit their Bushidan against one another in longer conflicts. A typical army might have 8 or 9 units, each of 4 to 16 figures each. Includes 43 color photos, four color illustrations, and three tables.
