Ok new set of rules for 2013, am looking into possibility of skirmishing the later Samurai period, apologies, just starting into period so don't know correct terminology. I know Osprey are releasing Ronin later this year, but also liking the look and feel of small unit action in SAGA. How transferable would these be? Before taking on a samurai band thought I would cut my teeth on the rebellious masses with the Ikko Ikki, any suggestions as to how to compose a force. I'm thinking Allied Samurai Warlord – Hearthguard 1 x Unit Samura – Hearthguard (mix of mtd and ft) – 8
1 x unit of monks – warriors (naginata) – 8
1 x unit Ikko Ikki – foot (mixed weapons) – Levy – 12
1 x xunit Ikko Ikki – musket – Levy – 8
1 x unit monks – bow – warriors – 8 Also do Kingsford Miniatures and Perry's mix in same units? Cheers as always jon |

There has been some discussion of this on the Saga group at link |

It's kind of funny, because this is something I had little to no interest in. But now with Saga, and plastic figs available, it is tempting… |

It was always the number of figs involved that put me off, yes Peter Pig do a stunning range in 15mm, but for me it has to be 28mm, now with SAGA it looks like there might be a set that capture smaller unit actions really well and make it practical in terms of cost. |

JB, I feel that Kingsford Miniatures are a bit larger than Perry's. However some of our customers have mixed them. Our Yahoo! Newsletter has some comparative pics and its easy to join.

Where did I put that picture…
Fat redhead is 6 feet tall. The other two guys are born-and-raised-in-Japan Japanese. Notice that the three girls are barely 5 feet tall. Not to mention this one:
As long as the equipment is about the same size (and pre-industrial armies avoid that issue, too), I really don't care what the individual model heights are. |
