Description
Test of Honour is a skirmish wargame played on a tabletop battlefield, with roughly 10-20 models on each side. Players select their force before each game based around a hero – perhaps a samurai, a masterless ronin, or even a warrior monk – along with one or two loyal companions and a variety of followers, who could be anything from clan soldiers to peasants.
Battles are swift and bloody as players alternate acting with one of their warriors – moving and fighting to achieve the objective of the scenario, whether that be cutting down the enemy, defending an outpost or finding and protecting a spy.
As you play through the battles, your hero will use new skills, and perhaps even take the shameful path of deceit and trickery to gain victory – such choices are the ultimate test of honour.
An isolated tea house is under attack. The hostess and her clients band together in its defence - peasant and samurai, ronin and priest forced into an unlikely alliance.
- Hostess - elegant proprietor - don't underestimate her!.
- Ronin Marksman - crack shot with a musket.
- Clan Envoy - high-ranking samurai, able to summon reinforcements.
- Wise Old Man - with years of experience and local knowledge.
- Priest - kneels in prayer to inspire his allies.
- Ashigaru Deserter - hated by his former comrades.
- Watchman - searches out enemies in the darkness.
- Blacksmith - sharpens blades and hits things with hammers!
This set is slightly different to the previous expansions - you can certainly use them together as a complete, and very characterful force, but the individuals are also designed to be added into other forces.
Their abilities tend to help the friends around them. For example, the Blacksmith improves everyone's weapons while the Watchman can remove enemy Cautious markers, and of course helps in night battles!
Box contains 18 gaming cards for Test of Honour and 8 metal character miniatures plus bases.
Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled
