Another of the regular contributors to the PORTABLE WARGAME FaceBook page is Luke Casey, and since July he has been fighting a very interesting campaign set in Medieval Japan that I have been following avidly.
He drew his own map of the campaign area ...
... and arranged his troops into the various warring armies.
(The sheer colour and variety of the uniforms makes this a very attractive period to wargame and I have been very sorely tempted ... )
It is impossible to relate the events of the campaign, but I hope that the following photographs show why I have been following it with such great interest.
Please note that all the photographs and drawings used above are © Luke Casey.

Luke has a fantastic looking set up Bob, again thanks for sharing these images.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteI enjoyed reading the original FaceBook posts and guessed that many of my regular blog readers would also enjoy seeing a selection of the photos from them.
All the best,
Bob
A very impressive array of troops, must admit I think the Portable Wargame would be the way to go to scratch the Samurai itch I have, very inspirational post!
ReplyDeleteDonnie McGibbon,
DeleteThe PW concept does seem to ‘hit the spot’ for this type of wargaming, and inspirational posts like Luke’s show just what can be achieved with a little bit of thought and effort.
All the best,
Bob
The temptation, Bob, is something I haven't been quite able to overcome - not when 3 Zvezda boxes of Samurai infantry were going for 5 bucks the time. I've bought a fourth (top dollar) and hanging out for the fifth for my 'Shogun' armies.
ReplyDeleteIf I needed it, Luke Casey's campaign would have provided further inspiration!

DeleteI look forward to the inevitable ‘Archduke Piccolo does Samurai’ battle reports! If past experience is anything to go by, they’ll be magnificent!
All the best,
Bob

ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exile FoG,
DeleteYou KNOW that you’ll just have to climb that loft ladder sooner or later, and what better reason could you have?
All the best,
