47 Ronin (2010)

Issue game of Wargame Japanese History #4. This game covers one of the most important Samurai-era episode "Chūshingura". Chūshingura happened December 14th, 1702. One year before the incident, Asano-takumi, the lord of Akou-han was ordered to harakiri by Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi without detailed judgement due to his outrageous action in Edo-castle. The 47 warriors of Akou-han had strong will to revenge this judgement and had waited for one year to do the final action. In falling snow, the 47 warriors assaulted their target Kira's house and did their wish without seriouse damege on their side. But, Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi again decided to order them harakiri. Because of their strong will and bushido-spirits, this fact became very popular as "Chūshingura". Even in recent period, this is very popular on TV drama series again and again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chūshingura This game covers this episode by small wargame. 8 page rulebook 80 counters 1 map 2 dice
