I have been advertising on the internet for quite a while and am starting
up a game called Bushido.  It's a game set in feudal Japan with lots of
battles.  It involves taking on the Shogunate or the main honcho in
Japan, or you can choose to defend him like a good sumaritan.  Most
players are feudal lords with a lot of independence.  The Shogunate
doesn't have much control over them, or the monks and shogunate generals
in the Shogunate territory.  But the Shogunate family, the Hojos, have a
large army of 40000 samurai in Edo.  To win you have to defeat this army
and capture Kyoto and the emperor, who is a mere puppet of the
Shogunate.  I am just about ready to start playing, with only one player
needed to get going.  I hope you will play.  I can accommodate another 4
players, maybe 5.  If you are interested in more information, I can send
a letter I sent to Alan.  It has some information on the intro to the
game and the fee required for postage.  Yes, I can't send the rules over
the internet.  But I am prepared to consider using internet most of the
time if you know a good system battles can be represented with.  Yours
sincerely,
Bret.
