Hoot Hoot

Woot woot, hoot hoot, it's time to get some playtesting done.

I'm planning on going to Common Ground Games in Stirling on the 8th of May - the day after Carronade.  If any of you want to come along and play some Bushido, let me know either here or on Facebook.  I shall bring some profiles for testing - minor spoilers, most factions do not have any profiles under testing at the moment.

I'm trying to find out if I can get hold of the Jung Pirates at the UK Games Expo.  It's fairly unlikely, but there's just enough of a chance that I'm planning on bringing my modelling tools with me in case I have to do some emergency miniature building.  Currently I can field 43 rice worth of Jung Pirates with the profiles from Rise of the Kage and the Kappa.  So that's 7 models with plenty of rice to spare...

Failing getting hold the Jung Pirates, it's Tengu Decension all the way, though I'm worried that the warband I'm thinking of bringing along is weak against warbands without a single specific point of weakness to exploit: Prefecture of Ryu ashigaru swarm, Temple of Ro-Kan Righteous Warriors, and Savage Wave Alphas are all warbands I'm uncertain against.  I'm going to play around with some alternatives, or not and end up doing some playtesting...

Harping on about the Tengu Decension though, my Kanut arrived!  Which was both good and bad... Bad in that his card was misprinted (the back of it actually belongs to Bikou) and for some reason he was missing the axe blade.  Good in that GCT immediately sent me out a replacement for the missing axe blade, and they'll send me the re-printed card when it's available.  My Shepherds of White Mesa is now complete!  Or I have all the models, but I actually need to paint it.
