This week the first of the Shimazu commanders take to the field with the foot versions being completed. Using the same box as before from Fireforge you get a good mixture of commanders with some taking it easier than others. I also have three mounted commanders from the box to paint up.
At least the troops are no longer leaderless!
We also played our second game of Test of Honour with Stu coming over with his birthday Sohei Monks to take on the home team's Samurai and Ashigaru.

| The Home Team |
The scenario saw the Monks attacking an outpost defended by a portion of my brave boys whilst reinforcements came on from behind my lines.
The opening move saw the Monks shoot and seriously wound my leader, he needs to make sure that some peasants are the closest target in the future so he's not so easily inconvenienced. My crack team of musketmen however didn't manage to hit anything for the whole game and so proved to be an expensive and ineffective addition to the team.
The game moves along really quickly with combat being reasonably bloody as long as you don't fluff your dice rolls.
In the end the Monks came out on top as they cut down my leader and one of his companions leaving only a travelling Samurai to hold the enemy off. He did manage to kill the enemy leader though to salvage some honour for the home team.
