Daimyo of the South

hi all



This coming Saturday Damon "Rulez" Carlton and myself will once again be representing the Nerd Herd in a Bushido tournament - the Daimyo of the South. Hosted by a brand new Bushido retainer and all round good egg Ben Calvert-Lee and located at the Royal British Legion Portsmouth South club this 42 rice (point) tournament promises to be a day of competition played in the most relaxed of atmospheres, for me Bushidoists play very zen indeed!

No automatic alt text available.

Rulez will be taking his Savage Wave, a faction of snarling and brutal Oni (demons) and mischievous Bakemono (gremlin type creatures). Last time he did very well with his ninjas, running away with first place, so he's hoping to retain his Gold coin status this time around.

Me, I'll be taking my Silvermoon Trade Syndicate rather than my beloved Temple of Ro-Kan. The gangsters that make up the Syndicate operate in an entirely different way to the beneficent monks of the Temple so we'll see how I get on.


As to the rest of the competitors we are facing 3x Ito Clan (snake samurai), 1x KKZ (ninjas), 3x Tengu Decension (bird men), 1x Cult of Yurei (undead), 1x Prefecture of Ryu (human samurai), 2x other STS and another Wave. Sadly no Temple, if I had known that I would have taken them and sadly no Jung Pirates which surprises me as they are the latest releases.... 

I'll publish the list I took following the event so as to give no succour to my enemies, but it will come with the reasons I took them and of course an account on how we got on!

Cheers

      My aim is to win a game, so not too much pressure. If I can beat my previous fourth place then all the better!
      Pics guaranteed Clint :-)

    All the best, mate. Take lots of photos and have fun. I'm sure you will, anyway.

      Undoubtedly Bryan, it's the only reason I'm going! I don't do the serious stuff anymore ;-)

    Having recently failed my willpower roll and bought the SIlvermoon syndicate, I'm very interested in how you get on. Are there many relaxed tournaments like this around for Bushido?

      Hahaha, you've bought into a cracking faction JamieM, loads of character and unique playability. Embrace the gambler in you....

      There are a few, Bushido is a growing game particularly up north and in the midlands, sadly not too much down where I am in the South east most corner of the UK but we're hoping to change that. Me and Rulez are on a mission!

    My very best to you both for this tournie, Andy, and if some chap comes up to you during the game to personally wish you well, it'll hopefully be me!! Hopefully I can get in as a non-player...

      That would be great Simon, it'd be lovely to meet you in person! I'll be wearing my Gobbo T-Shirt and no doubt a bead of nervous sweat as my opponent tables me.....

    Thanks for the good luck messages to the both of us. Very much appreciated.


    As for retaining my gold coin status I think I was fortunate in my games in the last tournament.

    My goal is to win a game like last time with this faction as they are new to me. I'm taking an interesting force so fingers crossed.

    Plan to take loadsa pics if I remember of course 😊
