Both want to cross from the other side at the same time but the stubborn old man insists he put his foot on the bride first. THAT sort of story: you know, old wisdom from the orient. I think this kind of game will provide JUST that sort of entertainment, as well as adventure seeds and movies like "The Last Samurai" <br /><br />"All for One......"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-91552446016194859822017-05-17T20:54:56.500+01:002017-05-17T20:54:56.500+01:00I shall look forward to that. ;)I shall look forward to that. ;)Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-65226650695730174462017-05-17T20:20:34.794+01:002017-05-17T20:20:34.794+01:00Sounds good to me buddy.

Although not a Bushido player, I do like a bit of Oriental Fantasy gaming and now that the 'Irish Contingent' is intending to join the fold, albeit with s different game, I have a feeling I may follow suit.

I thought the Gobbo methodology behind a "Bushido" warband was to buy up every miniature belonging to all the factions, and ensure that nothing was left for anyone else!?!

Like the rest of the guys, I have a deep interest in Asian tales (for me, this has always tended to be more Chinese "Water Margin" "Once Upon A Time In China" and similar) and always read such articles... especially if about gaming.... with intense interest. What I liked about your example of planned Bushido warband creation was that even though it described builds for a specific game, it was still interesting as a generic guide to building a game `team`.Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-47784026785119159732017-05-17T13:52:23.889+01:002017-05-17T13:52:23.889+01:00Very interesting dGG!

The terrain making actually goes perfectly with her other hobby.. which is miniature Penzai (potted landscapes). Ok that`s Chinese, but combined with her love of Bonsai will set her in good stead for making miniature gardens - aka some pretty cool battle boards that you can actually play on as well as being real proper miniaturised gardens in their own right.<br /><br />I completely see why you yourself would not get ToH Andy, when you already have Bushido: it would be like playing 3.5 ed D&D AND Pathfinder at the same time. So similar, it would just not be worth it. Besides your Bushido collection is stunningly good. However, from my point of view (starting at the beginning), you can imagine how excited I am at the thought of ToH. I can hardly wait for the pre-order to be available (end of this month, so not long to wait). Even comes with free exclusive minis.<br /><br />https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/test-of-honour/products/the-complete-test-of-honour-bundle<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-70971701491668771352017-05-17T12:35:52.218+01:002017-05-17T12:35:52.218+01:00Interesting to follow the thought processes as you...Interesting to follow the thought processes as you define a faction to suit both yuor style of play and your 'take; on them.
