the Hand that Grips the Sword

In the lands of the Pitac this battle should really be titled “the Hand that Grips No Sword”.  Shugenja and maho-tsukai have magic and maho spells reduced by 10 koku for a minimum cost of 0 (If you use Army Builder you may need to figure out a creative way around the point totaling).  Because the land is so shugenja and maho-tsukaifavorable, these units, even combat units lead by them, always get reserved movement.  Spent shugenja and maho-tsukaibecome unspent at the end of End Phase, no matter what part of the previous turn they had become spent or spent for.

Map details: pretty self-explanatory

End Game: 7 turns or 3 hours

Rewards: 2 campaign moves for the VP winner, 1 for the remaining players.

Multi-player rules: Spread’em around with a sprinkle of terrain in-between.  Playing on a slightly bigger table would help.  We have a 5’x8’ that works great for 3 or 4 players.
