Fight at the Shrine Game Report 神社の戦い

The introduction scenario for Test of Honour is a small-scale skirmish, with only 6 models per side. Two samurai from rival clans (and their commoner retinues) have decided to stop and pray at the roadside shrine. Unfortunately they've both come on the same morning, and things get ugly quickly.

テストオブオナーのシナリオ＃１です。たった６人のアーミーで、ルールを簡単に習うことができます。ライバルの侍が同じ神社にお参りしているところに、戦います。

▲　Hosokawa Clan : Makoto

▲ Mori Clan : Ross

Let's Fight!

▲ Ross's forces (in red) march straight up the road to the shrine, shouting insults at their hated rivals, while their archers quickly duck behind fences to try sharpshooting Makoto's spearmen.

ロスのモデル（赤）がすべて前に走ります。アーチャーの二人が壁の後ろから射撃しようとしますが、なかなか当たりません。

▲　Although Ross's spearmen and samurai boldly charge at the enemy spearmen (white), they fail to cut any down. Even worse, the red samurai hero fumbles his attacks and trips over the pillars of the torii gate.

ロスの足軽と侍（赤）がっ突撃しますが、失敗します！突然、ロスのヒーローが鳥居の下にこけった　－　大失敗！

▲ Meanwhile, Makoto's samurai hero (white) has dashed along the other side of the tall hedge, and doubled back to attack the red spearmen from the rear! Quickly cutting one down, things don't look good for Ross's forces...

MAKOTOの侍ヒーロー（白）が赤い足軽の後ろから急に突撃しました！足軽の一人が倒して、ロスが大ピンチ...

▲ With his samurai (red) leaping to his feet, Ross charged him into Makoto's hero (white), looking for a quick kill. An epic back-and-forth swordfight ensued for several turns, with neither quite able to gain the upper hand. Makoto's hero forced Ross's hero back, but was distracted from the deathstroke by arrows shot from behind the fence.

ロスのヒーローがMAKOTOの侍に突撃しましたが、倒せんかった。戦いが何ターンも続いたが、二人の能力がうますぎた。

It was then that Ross revealed his true colours! Grabbing a handful of dirt from the floor, his samurai threw it into the face of Makoto's hero and finally cut him down while he was blinded! Such dishonour!!!

決定！ロスがそのまま勝てないなら、恥ずかしい事をしました。DISHONOUR CARD（名誉なしのカード）を使って、ボーナスダイスで砂をMAKOTOのヒーローの顔に投げてしまった！MAKOTOさんのヒーローが急に殺されただ！

▲ I think this was about the moment when Ross's samurai hero fumbled his attack dice and tripped over!

ロスの侍突撃の大失敗は面白かった！

A truly brilliant game! We played this scenario a total of 4 times that day (each game is about 40 minutes or so), and everybody loved the excitement and speed of the game. The final samurai showdowns were always awesome moments, and people enjoyed being able to follow the action without rules checks slowing things down. Thoroughly recommended!

本当に素晴らしいゲームだ！ルールが簡単なので、約４０分で終われます。その日、４回プレイしました。見学の方にも大満足できるゲームです！

Test of Honour is that fast paced, easy to pick up game that is great between the more lengthy and calculative battles of 40k. Great fun!

Thank you for sharing your experience of this scenario with us, it reads like it was a lot of fun! I really like your set up and the clear bases - I think I will have to try this.

It was our first try of the game, and everybody loved it so much we've actually played that scenario 9 times so far!
