Brian Bradford is developing an Samurai RPOW Module.
Steady progress is developing on my samurai
RPOW module. Several
people have asked what it will be about. Here is what I have:
It's possibly going to be published by the POW staff after I am
done. It would be in the same format at the Austro-Prussian war
module put out for 19th c. POW. RPOW Samurai will cover the sengoku
jidai period and include lists for all the major clans, to include
Takeda, Oda, Uesugi, Tokugawa, Hideyoshi, Mori, Shimazu, Date, Hojo,
Chosokabe, Imagawa, Asakura, Otomo and the Asai. I will make list
for the monk branches as well as the Ming and Chosin Koreans.
The armies will be based off the POW system using their basing
system, but having an oriental feel to it. The rules will
be "orientalized" to simulate eastern and Japanese combat methods.
My first mission is to prepare
the rules, which I am steadily
developing with my spare time. I plan on not rewriting the rulebook,
but modifying each point so that it fits with the period and RPOW
rules. Players will need a copy of the main rules to play.
Army lists will follow as these should be simple to make. I will be
using much of my research from KK to do the project.
