Chrysanthemum Throne is Out

Game in the days of the Age of the Country at War! The rules provide for play with all the fundamental unit types – samurai, ashigaru, matchlocks, mounted samurai, ambush parties, shinobi, and foot samurai, as well as the important characters - taisho, tsukai-ban, daimyo and champions. Experience the flavor of late-samurai warfare with rules for spectacular suicides and challenges. Campaign and tournament play are facilitated by the short play time (about 2 hours), the fate of characters, and the allowance for withdrawal. Finally, Chrysanthemum Throne includes a plain English guide to painting samurai armies.

Chrysanthemum Throne features the following:

• Fast play rules with the emphasis on fun and experiencing the flavor of the period!
• Rules for characters that facilitate campaigns, tournaments, and re-fights.
• Chrysanthemum Throne is designed for use with 15mm figures, but may be used for any figure scale desired.
• A plain English guide to painting samurai armies.
• Rules for spectacular suicides and challenges.
• A movement and combat system based on previous, proven Chipco game systems, modified to suit the period, and with new rules for detachments.
• Chrysanthemum Throne can easily be played on the typical kitchen table (3’ x 4’). It can also be expanded to encompass battles of any size.
