Daishō (2015)

Daishō Skirmish Wargaming in Mystical Japan have you ever wanted to replicate the incredible feats of swordsmanship you see in movies like 47 Ronin and 13 Assassins? Stand surrounded by half a dozen angry Ashigaru and then, in a single fluid motion, strike them all down? Bring forth fiery darts from heaven and hurl them at your enemies? Face demons from the pits of hell? Disarm and hammer an arrogant Samurai lord into the dust with your bare hands? Lead a howling mob of vengeful villagers against their overlords, armed with little more than spades, hoes and hope? Slice an innocent bystander from neck to crotch for allowing his shadow to cross yours? Laugh as the blades of your enemies rebound from your iron-hard flesh? Pierce the eye of a Kitsune with your arrow, even though she thought she was hidden from view? Get beaten to a pulp by a little old bald guy with a walking stick? Defend your clan from the devious plans of men and demons alike?

You can do this and much more if you play Daishō, skirmish wargaming in mythical Nippon.
