Die Einheiten

   
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).
