Bushido day!

hi all

Last week I spent a day playing Bushido here in da Grotto. Three glorious games on three boards with three different Warbands, trying them on for size.  Sadly as we were trying to get in as many games as we could I didn't write any notes, so no batreps for you guys - sorry! But I did take some photos and I promise I'll do a batrep soon when I can grab some free time and do a solo walk through. Solo is difficult with Bushido due to the combat system but I'll work something out as it's a great way of working your way through the rules and getting them cemented into the brain in time for going to the Bushido tournament in November.  I also got a massive order from Blotz the chaps I get my tokens from, I know i've done a post on Blotz before but the reason i mention them again is to highlight their amazing customer service.  Their standard set of tokens doesn't cover the full range of Bushido "states" due to new models coming through and new states being added to the rules via errata documents, so when I bought my first set of tokens i was a little short and they did not quite cover what I needed.  I scoured the internet to find some tokens to cover the states such as "immobilised", "held" and "spirit blocked" but couldn't find any, let alone some that would match. Dejected I went back to Blotz and sent them a cheeky email to see what we could do about this.  Within the hour they had contacted me back saying that they would custom make the tokens I needed. Beaming with happiness I duly sent off the order and TWO working days later I get my tokens!! - just superb service and these tokens come highly recommended by me (as if that means anything at all....lol)

anyhoo
Enjoy the pics...

















just to finish this post off i'm trying out a new app on my iPad



hope you enjoy

  3. So much delightful eye candy,
    From the Bushido Master Andy.

    He has proudly spoken.
    He likes his new tokens.

    If he publishes a batrep soon,
    I'll be over the moon.

    I should have done this as a haiku,
    But this was the best I could do.
