One day game – Battle of Sekigahara

Now the big SB game is done I can turn my attention to the 1 day game.

Reminder this is Saturday 12th Dec!

The game I’m proposing is something a bit different. It’s the battle of Sekigahara, 1600 in Japan

Among the soldiers forming ranks at the battlefield of Sekigahara as dawn broke on the morning of October 21, 1600, there were few who could doubt that a decisive battle here would mark the end of decades of civil strife and that, at the end of the day, a new shogun with power throughout all Japan would emerge. It was just over two years since Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a man with the power and strength to unify Japan but without the breeding and authority to become shogun, had died. Since then, the most powerful daimyo in the land, men of noble birth and regents to the juvenile heir of Hideyoshi, had continued the feuding for absolute power. Factions among the five regents had formed so that, on this day, the two most powerful contenders for the shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari faced each other for the final showdown

I have 2 armies worth , so has Dene, and Wayne/Lynnette have an army, so I’m hoping that this is enough. The battle is massive – in real life – with over 120K combatants. The rules will be FoG:R. I’ve got the Orbats and hopefully will organise with those with figures to organise the forces over the next week or so.

There should be plenty of space for players, but just let me know if you are interested so I can plan for number. Of course if you don’t want to play that’s fine, and the room is still open for other games. Let make this day a success! I suspect it will be the last this year
