The
playing pieces include samurais, ninjas, ashigarus, Monks and peasants. No two
characters are alike, each has his own name, costume and
combat values, bringing the period faithfully to life.
Note: Unlike the original game, these counters have adopted
the CROISADES format (higher speed for horses, defense armor
and direction arrow for horses). |
