Wednesday - Leighton Buzzard. Neil kindly took me through the Test of Honour rules. It's similar to Mortal Gods.
Neil's terrain is beautiful. My single building sits off, left. We went for a stand up fight, Neil arrived at the riverlet first, but found it uncrossable apart from at the bridge (random rol;).
My force, (borrowing Neil's cards) three Samurai of different types, and four units of Ashugaru: two spear, one archers, one arquibusiers - 23 points. Sure there is a way of getting it to 24...
Neil had two samurai, two spear armed Ashugaru, two archers and a shooter too.
My shooting forces escort the fighting types in. My battleworn samurai is behind the shrine center-left,
My first shot, the dice are slightly different to Mortal Gods (no wild/pegasus for instance). I got hits, but Neil also saved loads more.
My Battleworn Samurai took a series of serious hits from shooting here.
Passed his 'Test of Honour', but took an arm injury. -1 attack dice. Drat!
The action quickly developed into a brawl over the bridge, shoing back and forth with the five Samurai doing the bulk of the fighting. Neil's dice were on fire, mine were dreadful! 
My three samurai all picked up injuries, while Neil's two were unscathed. I did more damage charging with my spear armed Ashugaru and poking oer the parapets! 
Neil brought his spear armed Ashugaru up, but didn't need to worry. His two Samurai were carving through mine!
With all three Samurai out of action vs one of Neil's the game went to him. Great fun, will definitely play again.
