Well folks I'm finally making a post again. Apologies for being away so long, but I mentioned a while back of having to deal with some major issues with our home. We're still not finished with the problem, but getting there. Anyway, I hosted my Imjin War- Siege of Ulsan game twice yesterday. Both games went very well. Much better than the play test earlier last month. The besieging Ming and Koreans were able to scale the Japanese fortress walls and fight their way onto the ramparts with several units. They even managed to break down the main gate in both games. However, they were held off by the defending Japanese inside. I used a modified version of Hail Caesar, and homebrew rules for the scaling ladders and assaulting the main gate. The Japanese relief force met stiff resistance from the Korean right, and weren't able to provide direct support to the defenders. Here are some pictures from both games.
This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Fantastic looking game, Dean! Good to see your return to the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Yes, I've been distracted for too long. I have to get back to the hobby table. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat to see you back Dean, but I assume the "real life" stuff needed your full attention, and after all, wargaming is just a hobby, very occasionally, something more important crops up!

DeleteWorth the wait Dean the Samurai battle is awesome 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Yes, it sure was a long wait - built the castle rock walls earlier last year, and then had my gallbladder surgery in the summer, before I could playtest the game. Had a quick playtest last month - with slight mods made, which had these two games go off very nicely. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent looking game Dean. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray! Both games with 6 players were very enjoyable. It was great to have mechanics of the actual wall and gate assaults work well. Warmest regards, Dean
