That looks suitably gory, Martin - the children loved it!

Have you noticed any increase in sales of samurai figures or the rules since the Netflix series started? I've seen quite a few people talking about getting into the Sengoku period off the back of the programs, but I wonder if it's translated into any actual purchasing commitment.

[martin goddard]

Sadly no extra sales.
But we are busy anyway, so no loss at this time

Good to hear. Must be everyone having to collect both sides now that all the games are happening on Zoom

Not enough hours in the week, paying then have time to watch!!

I'd better not take a peek or it'll derail my MexRev project in favour of revitalising my Sengoku Jidai forces...

Watched the first episode and it was not of my liking.

[martin goddard]

It is really good at putting the main characters/leaders in perspective.
It helped put the who's who in position.

These are my Ashigaru started last night. Still some way to go.

Do I spy a command group in that photo?

Sean's a butterfly.

More like a moth to a flame.

I'm quite enjoining the freedom of painting figures from various ranges with no end goal in sight. Once I crack on with the Mexicans it'll be nothing else until they're done.

Really enjoyed episode 1 of this series. Nobunaga was a bit of a one wasn't he?

The Heroes & Villains series which featured Tokugawa Ieyasu at Sekigahara has my vote. A well produced docu-drama... a novel use of 'Blue on Blue' fire to goad an ally into committing to battle. It makes you ponder what would have happened had Richard taken pot shots at the Stanleys at Bosworth.
