RE: SAGA - actungpanzer - 07-12-2012
so i've been sort of looking at SAGA for a bit but i saw someone using some samurai in a battle report,a look with google turned up nothing,are they house rules or a supported army?
RE: SAGA - Zeewulf - 08-12-2012
Samurai will probably be house rules at the moment as I'm pretty sure there isn't any battleboards out for them
RE: SAGA - Noisysteve - 14-12-2012
None that I know of. werent Samuri just a type of troops, rather than an entire faction?
