Heiho, Let's Go!

A dynamic illustration showcases a chaotic battle scene from Sengoku-era Japan, featuring armored samurai and ashigaru warriors engaged in combat. Prominent figures include a horse-mounted samurai wielding a spear, flanked by foot soldiers in traditional armor, all set against a backdrop of waving banners and a hilly landscape. The title "HEIHO" is displayed at the top, with "MASS BATTLE SAMURAI GAME" prominently featured at the bottom.

Wargames Atlantic and Helion bring us ‘Heiho: The Art of War’, a collaboration bringing nearly a thousand 10mm hard plastic figures to your tabletop for recreating the massive battles of Sengoku-era Japan. The box set includes 988 miniatures across eight frames of Ashigaru, four of Samurai, and two of Command units, alongside bases, dice, tokens, and the complete rulebook. Designed by Pauli Kidd - a 20-year student of Katori Shinto Ryu (sword fighting to you and me) and author of numerous works on Japanese history and culture and big name RPGs - the rules accommodate armies ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 warriors and support famous engagements like Kawanakajima and Sekigahara.
