The rules were To the Strongest and it was a bad day for the army of Toyotomi Hideyoshi which was severely thrashed by the Koreans.
Here are a few images of the game.

| Those menacing Korean infantry... |
 |
| ...close in on Kato Kiyamasa's command |
 |
| The Korean heavy cavalry form up... |
 |
| ...and clash with Ahimszu Yoshiihisa's samurai contingent |
 |
| Il Naomassa's 'Red Devils' surge forward |
 |
| The Korean's approach a village... |
 |
| ...but soon clash with the Red Devils |
 |
| The Korean cavalry smash into the flank of the last of Ahimszu Yoshiihisa's infantry...destroying them and ending the game. |
Superb looking game, great collection, so colourful. Nice to see them on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, it was like greeting old friends...
DeleteA lovely colourful looking game Mark…
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the painted shields on the Korean infantry.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. I'm sure glad that I wasn't the one painting those shields.
DeleteBeautiful figures there Mark, especially the more colourful Koreans:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve...the Koreans certainly colourful
DeleteSorry I was unable to attend this one Mark, both armies look superb!
ReplyDeleteIf you had been there we would have had trouble fitting you on the table... six around that table was tight enough!
DeleteYes, Chris mentioned that, Mark!
DeleteI was literally thinking about these collections only last week, and wondering when their next outing would be. Really beautiful stuff and a great game.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find a way to run a bit of a campaign with these armies.
DeleteWonderful collection, love the color and the period, one we once gamed way back only in 15mm. Only our paint jobs couldn't match these! Our group are also big fans of To the Strongest. I think either this one or your South American War of Triple Alliance armies are my favorites of all of yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the greatest fan of TtS...I feel that all the cards on the table spoils the aesthetics...yes I myst get the Tripple Alliance armies out again, but before that I have some ideas to get the Russo-Japanese out again.
DeleteYou have a gorgeous collection of Asians, Mark! Splendid game. Did you utilize TtS! in the last outing too?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. No we used my house rules last time which us less structured than TtS and gave the Samurai more of a chance.
