Super game and play through, you both had some good dice but I think Matt had the upper hand 😁 I myself played it (ToH) for the first time last week (I blame Martin) and enjoyed it. Look forward to your next game.🤓 Once again super game Martin 👍
Really enjoyed this plat through and happy to see and hear that Matt enjoyed the game and wants to play it more. I can’t think of a better game to demo to attract new people into table top gaming. Thanks for the report and I look forward to the next one guys
Outstanding skirmish! I was getting into it big time! I broke out into a sweat during that mounted samurai's charge through the village! Great job Gents!
Great board and minis as always. I feel your wife may have been able introduce some Adam and the Ants references though 🤣. I really can’t make my mind up about this game. I want to like it because I like the figures and love the period it’s just that the game doesn’t really scream Samurai / Bushido to me, more like a bunch of thugs having a scrap in a village. Friend of mine has hundreds of Samurai and is looking at Pike and Shot but I’m not sure that appeals either. Others have suggested Clash of Katanas but the reviews aren’t great. I think there’s also another Osprey game. Def need a game to get some Samurai action though, and Mariko-sama (and an exact 3d print of Anna Sawai LOL), just not sure this is hitting the mark 🤔
Haha I know what you mean, I'll have to try and make it more "elegant" rather than a scrap in a road. I've seen some people using pike and shotte which looked good, not really seen much of COK 👍
@@7thson726 To be fair, it’s not your terrain. Your terrain is exceptional as usual. It’s the rules for me, the character special rules and overall rules just don’t really give it much of a samurai / Bushido feel IMO despite all the Japanese style on the cards and in the book. The combat rules I found really uninteresting, mostly just an extra dice. Very bland for me.
Very enjoyable battle report. I like this game a lot. It’s a perfect entry for anyone unknown with miniatures wargaming. Easy to learn and just a few models per side needed. Highly recommended!
I LOVE the scenery you guys have, really top notch stuff. Are those village homes from any particular kits, or are they scratch built? If so, you ever think about dropping terrain tutorials once in a while?
Hi there, so the buildings are from Oshiro Terrain while the walls are from Blotz MDF kits, the trees are all home made. I have thought about possibly doing a video where I set up a board for a game showing how I do it, using the scatter and such, but wasn't sure if it would be that interesting 🤔
@@7thson726That would be awesome. These videos have been helping with my interest in wanting to get the game as of late. It was funny going from your 2nd video saying you hope to not wait too long to play again, to watching this one a few years later haha
Fantastic board Guys! Awesome model painting. And a great game. It was really fun to watch! Thank You.
Thanks so much, was great fun to put together and play on 😁👍

I’m often accused of having the upper hand where dice rolling is concerned 😅
Cheers buddy, thanks for watching 👍

Absolutely, it's a great gateway game, thanks for watching 👍

Glad to see the Test of Honour batreps are still coming

Lovely looking winter themed board.
Thank you! Cheers! 😁
Next level mate! Stunning figures and board

Glad you enjoyed the video buddy 😁👍
Awesome battle mate. Loads of fun! I just wish I didn’t have a stinking cold when we filmed it 😂
So glad you enjoyed it, re match in 2024? 😁😉

@@7thson726I think that would be a good video. Terrain for this looks very nice
@@Exhileon I'll add it to the list and see what I can do 👍😉

That was a really good battle!
Cheers buddy 👍
Great game...just waiting for my Sohei monks to arrive..
Brilliant, let me know how you get on with them, I've played against them once and they were alot stronger than I thought they would be 👍
I will drive in to work early so I can be on time for this one. I have Bushido and really like the mechanics and want to see how things work in ToH.
Hope you enjoyed it buddy 👍
Terrain is impressive , this game is shown in wargames illustrated in this months issue
Really appreciate that, thanks 😁
Your naginata armed monk would kill those cavalry 😅
He'd probably trip en route 😅
@@7thson726 with his luck likely :P
@@Schalazarro 😅
It's a nagitana ;)
@@ianfwhite7573 which is what? :P
That was a great game ! Might just inspire me to get my figures and buildings painted !
Did You make the battle mat ? It really sets the scene ...
Thanks so much 👍 the mat is from Geek Billy 😁
Are those card buildings ???....gorgus table.
The buildings are from Oshiro Terrain and the walls are from Blotz Buildings 😁👍
I swear this said premiering in 15 minutes 5 minutes ago and it now says premieres in 20 minutes
Is there a time warp?
If there was I hope it changes my dice rolls 😅
What was your technique for making this snow terrain?
It's a mixture of flocks and scatter with a little talc here and there 👍
Love these vids, but you're going to need to start pronouncing NagiNATA properly, it's not NagiTANA! :P
Haha cheers, genuinely, I've always thought it had an N 😅
