Commands & Colors: Samurai Battles

A Commands & Colors system wargame that recreates engagements from Japan’s Sengoku era. Players command armies built from scenario-specific force rosters, deploy units on historically inspired terrain, and use command cards to issue orders and resolve combat through the system’s hexless combat and block-based unit resolution. Scenarios vary in scale: some treat units as large clan contingents while others represent small warrior groups, and the scenario booklet specifies unit composition, terrain, and victory conditions for each historical engagement.
