Introduce yourself

Welcome to Jwar Isles!

Bushido is a great game, if you like tactical games over killing games you wont regret ;)

Have fun!

Welcome Rory,

have fun and I bet you will convince those guys in your group in no time! ;)

Hello!

My name is Rick, hailing from Paris, France.

I'm back in the hobby after a break of several years, and discovered Bushido while looking through the available skirmish games these days (never was into painting 200 times the same thing, even just one unit of 20 bores me to tears). I'd actually ignored Bushido for a while, as I'm really not into manga, anime and the likes, and given the name, I kind of expected the game to be just that - more of a cheesy j-rpg than japanese sword & sorcery. Glad I decided to take a look at it after all.

I'm much more of a hobbyist than a gamer, but Bushido just might change that.

Anyhow, see ya around in Jwar!

Hi there and welcom abord!

welcome to the forums paul, ret-kenton has proved himself as the cult overlord round here if you need any advice:) check out the painting section for some inspiration.

Welcome Guys!! enjoy your journey to the Jawar Isles

Aloha James, and welcome to the forum.  I usually vacation in Texas (as my dad is in the oilfield) so seeing Bushido start up there is good news!

Welcome all of you, to Bushido and the boards!

Rules questions are best asked in that section, but the text on the Wall of Water specifies that the wall is Obscuring. That means that it gives cover, and models can only draw LoS to models up to 3" beyond the wall (p97 of the rulebook). 

Then you´re at exactly the right place Roberto  Welcome to you all.

Welcome to Jwar Isles! ;)

Hello all. My name is Frank and Im from Connecticut US. I just started once I found this game and within 2 weeks, I have a fully painted Ito starter, and 5 Prefecture blisters (not the starter..fully painted). my wife also plays and was drawn to the STS..(hers are almost finished). Already have 3 different tables ready to go...the only sad thing is there are no players around me:( I did meet a great retainer from Massachusetts and played a game with him and hope to get this game started in my area. 

Welcome to Jwar Isles! Have fun! ^^

Hi Alistair. I think you found the right game as it is made by people who loved Confrontation and those that loved playing it. It's a worthy succesor! I played C3 in the heyday, but mostly spent time at the firm forum. Bushido is very young, but like Infinity which grew through solid rules and models I really believe it has a shining future. And yes, we all want more of it :-) Someone should record more videos.

Hello Calum, welcome to the Bushido forums. There's a few players in Glasgow, most of us go to G3 on Tuesday nights. If you'd like a demo game or two, just give me a shout and we can arrange something.

Welcome to a great and growing game Luke

Welcome Bogdan-san.

Its a great game and a friendly forum.

welcome pippa:) I'm sure you'll have a blast in nottingham, i personally feel a tournament isnt complete unless i have made a fool of myself though;)

Hi Im Chris from Bristol UK, been a wargamer for close to 25 years now, and for a long time been playing mainly historical wargames. Last year I got sucked into Warmachine much against my better judgement, and loved every minute of it. Ive been looking to branch out into some other similar skimish systems as I enjoyed Warmachine so much. So far Ive tried Infinity, which is pretty good- I  loved painting up the models for my Haqqislam force, Malifaux- got a Gremlin crew but only had 1 game so far, which to be fair I did enjoy.

Stumbled across Bushido at Games Expo UK earlier this month, but sadly my 7 yr old son was with me and it was near the end of the day and he was flagging big time (man the catering arrangements sucked big time), and the stand was busy so I didnt get a chance for a good look. Having looked at the dloadable rules, Im intrigued big time- it looks fantastic. Ive been offered a demo by Ret-Rudders in a couple of weeks, but Im not sure I can hold off that long without buying something! Knowing me by the time the demo happens, I wil have the rule book and a couple of factions!

We only went for the day  and having read the blurb I decided my son and I would grab a sandwich there. Big mistake, we managed to eventually squeeze into the tiny shop near the bar area and grab some crisps, water and chocolate. Other than that it was a massive queue for the bar food and it looked really badly organised. Lesson learned for next year. Having a hungry and tired 7 yr old is not conducive to a good gaming experience.

My only previous experience of this type of game was a very brief 40K stint before switching allegience to warmachine which I do love. However for me the main attraction of Bushido is that unlike warmachine it's not all about just running forward and killing the enemy. There are more subleties of play in Bushido and more tactical thinking. The scenarios add a totally different style of game where you can actually lose if you kill your opponent too soon. Loving it so far!

Welcome newcomers and let me just quote this because it is so true. Bushido is nothing about fighting as much as tactics, which is the greatest reason for it´s brilliance, amongst other things :)

Seems like the Expo did a good job of bringing the game to some new players as a lot of people have mentioned it.

Welcome aboard!
