In this episode, Little Wars TV takes you back to feudal Japan for one of the largest, bloodiest battles of the samurai era--Fourth Kawanakajima. Steve and Zach meditate in a Japanese garden, where they try to divine the true intentions of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. Was Shingen's Woodpecker plan a masterful maneuver or a classic blunder?
Then, back at the club, four players fight the wargame on an incredible 8'x6' tabletop with 6mm miniatures and the rules "Killer Katanas 2" by On Military Matters. Can Takeda Shingen repeat his great victory, or will Uesugi Kenshin smash his enemies on the banks of the river before it's too late? Try to rewrite Japanese history with us this week on Little Wars TV!

Our men are running from the battlefield! Shameful display!

When youve played shogun 2 and finally know all of the factions and generals.

I love that all the Japanese at the beginning was just listing off different WWII vessels lol

“...the peckers showed up and we were forced to flee.” We’ve all either used that line... or heard that line before.

I must say I envy you guys. You have a tight crew that's always down to play those cool historics scenarios just for fun and i never see any salt in anyones behaviour. Where i live we have a huge tournament scene for WH40K and it's all cool but there's very little chill, it's impossible to find someone if you want to just chill and play and the historic scene is bunch of salty trolls so i can eithar have a competetive experience or none at all. I really envy that, i think it's wonderfull and unique and you should cherish that :D oh and also you have so many minis for different eras and so many systems - that's great :D !!

Love the haiku at the start! The IJN ship names really propel it into the realm of brilliant! Haiku on top of haiku, very meta.

Love the ‘Princess Bride’ allusion 😄

I have never heard of Kawanakajima being considered a defeat for Uesugi, usually it is considered somewhat of a draw. Pretty sure the Woodpecker general committed a suicide assault in penance for his failed stategem during the fight, being shot dozens of times and collapsing to finally die on a hill nearby. He barely made it to the field as Kenshin was absolutely slaughtering Takeda.

Fantastic show and game. I know nothing about this period, so this episode has been informative and entertaining. Great stuff guys, keep up the good work. We love this.

James Clevel’s shogun was sooo good

@michaelnewbanks2569 5 лет назад

Another great wargame guys! Keep it up! Your quickly becoming my favorite war game channel on youtube. You've already got me re basing my 15mm armies on 40mm x 40mm for Age of Hannibal, and i'm looking at 10mm and 6mm armies to start collecting.

You can see that Greg realized the tags were still on his Pokémon shirt during the last few turns as it disappears on the end of game recap

I play most of my games with counters and blocks. The rare times I get to push figures is at game conventions.

hentai shirt killed me XD keep up the amazing videos boys, would love to see more American civil war, or possibly lesser known wars, I always thought war of the triple alliance would be amazing for 6mm, you could use civil war miniatures and some of the battles in that war were intense and absolutely barbaric!
