Sengoku Period

Post by Friedrich August I. » Thu Jul 31, 2014 5:24 am

Gents,

I am thinking about using Donnybrook to recreate skirmish warfare in the
Sengoku Period. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Günter

Yes, I think that I'm going to have to purchase the Donnybrook rules set!
I have approximately 400 of Zvezda's 1/72nd scale samurai figures, maybe 20 of which are currently painted. Even though they're only 22mm in height I've managed to painted quite abit of the armour lacing on each figure, they're really nice figures. Here's a link to the unpainted figures:

Is Donnybrook only available in printed form or is it also available in pdf?

40mm Samurai stuff is very nice indeed...

Anyway, Herr Heim...

I seem to remember you saying to me that you didn;t like skirmishing games :lol: :lol: :lol:

A change of heart in the heart of Wien? :wink:

Comment's like these let me regret that I have mentioned it... :roll:

It comes down to this:
I like to play wargames and there are times when I have to jump over my own shadow! All because I want to play with my best friends.
So I get desperate and reach out to grab something even it is something which I intentional try to avoid.

I didn't want to build troops for BlB but after I made my mind I did it in full :twisted:
I always dedicate myself with full force to a task - no half measures!
NICHT KLECKERN - KLOTZEN

So it may be that I even do DONNYBROOK besides of running wild Scotsmen... :D
