Just been watching the film again – what rules would you suggest for classic 18/19th century Samurai games – large scale skirmishes with lots of swordplay rather than the set piece actions later in the period, with maybe 40-100 figures per side? For once, I wasn't sure where best to post this – maybe we need another board!? 😇 |

For my Boshin War project I plan to use modified Rebels & Patriots from Osprey Games but the Boshin War was fought mostly by troops armed with firearms. |

The Osprey Ronin rules has section on this conflict. Works well with up to 30 figures a side. Regards Alan |

Years ago I wrote an article on the organization and weapons for the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877. If you would like a copy you can contact me directly at burker1 (at) aol (dot) com. In regards to rules, I would use The Men Who Would Be Kings. The Imperials would be regular infantry and the Satsuma Samurai would be Irregular Infantry and Fierce in battle. |

Glengarry-what figures do you use for the Boshin War? |

Hi, it's an interesting scenario. I alway thought I would use the Smooth&Rifled rules with this supplement PDF link if I ever got round to do it….. Or you could use that PDF link expansion for Sharp Practice (a little more miniatures on the table maybe). Or the Triumph & Tragedy expansion. Although I don't know if that is still available in print (or pdf). The expansion is available at least here link |
