I've done some playing around myself to create some Sengoku era Samurai rules to try out, and I'm currently planning to begin a Great Northern War mini-campaign. I'm haven't been disappointed with Neil Thomas' offerings yet.Natholeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359406949497306737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-35746976825951581852015-08-03T10:36:02.478+01:002015-08-03T10:36:02.478+01:00Hi Paul,
