I am starting up a game called Bushido, based in Japan.  The aim of the game
is to defeat the old Shogun's armies and capture Edo and Kyoto.  The
player types available are shogunate general, daimyo, assassin or ninja,
and samurai etc.
The turns are every one and a half months.  The most important aspect of
the game is building a financial base to build armies.  This can be done
by aggressive policy of invading your neighbour or more peacefully
through the ignoble use of merchant tactics (this is frowned upon by
samurai).  I need some money from you to send the rules, as some of the
game is through the post.  But I'll try to use email as much as
possible.
     Things are a bit slow, so I'll start by giving players a few
mock battles to learn the techniques of warfare and how the game works.
To get the rules and first few turns if they need to go through the mail,
send 5 dollars US or 5 dollars Australian to:
