What will you be playing ...

[Rich Jones]

historical, cinematic or fantasy ... what will you be playing?

I will be doing all three, probably more 'fantasy' and cinematic when it boils down to it

[terrement]

I'll likely do primarily historic, with a bit of "Hollywood" (though that surely isn't the right term...) thrown in. I find that I like exceptionally skilled fighters, but found the films (not samurai) like the recent Chinese ones to be too fantasy for me - one warrior vs thousands.

Having said that, I did and do enjoy "Big Trouble in Little China"

Probably fantasy-leaning so we can get some Oni involved, and maybe some Tengu.

Certainly historical only will have its place too!

I'm thinking that I'd like to game all three if the rules work well. I checked cinematic because that was the inspiration for my collection of single mounted 28mm castings. However, I have multiple mounted 15mm armies that will be used for historical battles using a variation of the Perfect Captain's Spanish Fury rules.
Thanks for sharing the information about these rules, Rich. I'm looking forward to trying them.

No worries
We have tweaked the same mechanics for multi based stuff in other periods - however we mainly play my variant on Black Powder for unit based stuff - it is in their yahoo group files I think.

Went for Chanbarra, but will most probably try all three.

Found some nice Black hat unarmoured Samurai that have quite taken my fancy.

Yeh they are nice!

Historical for me.

I expect to play historical but with so many great figures available these days, I could be tempted with fantasy.

I checked historical as I will be playing lots of samurai skirmishing between clans, and Korean's. (Perry miniatures).
