Some Good news for Samurai Battles, according to Richard Borg on Boardgame Geek, GMT will pick up/expend the game. Not clear what is coming, but it has to be better than the alternatives.
Re: Regarding need to expand Samurai Battles and Ninja Attack
As the saying goes... WAIT FOR IT!!!!
GMT is already on this and will be leading the charge soon!

Trying to better engage my son to play this game (Old Japan / Samurai Era doesn't look attractive to him) I've started creating some stickers (for wooden blocks) to create both Mordor and Free Peoples armies.
Next I've also adapted Command and Dragon cards and manged to create a Vassal module to be played online.
Here you can see a preview.
Below you will find all files created (consider actual Vassal Module as a "work in progress")
Please post your comment / suggestions in this forum or directly on BoardGameGeek.
Hi guys,
as some of you already know this website has received another "chance" and will go on for another year (thank you so much to StevenE on BGG).
On my side I've been in contact with original Vassal game module author and asked the permission to modify and update it!
LurchBrick kindly allowed me to do that so I've refreshed gamo module graphics (many thanks also to StevenE and Eric) adding different map styles and also a new terrains hex set.
After setting these things up MarkMcG updated all scenarios and now you can find all of them inside actual Vassal game module.
You can easily download it here.
Here you can find some picture preview about new graphics.
and here you can find a log with "version history".

Another Year is passing by and we can turn back to see the path we followed:
2008 - launched www.CCAncients.net website
2011 - launched www.CCNapoleonics.net website
2013 - launched www.CCSamuraiBattles.net website
Right now these websites are full with every available expansion (as to say units, scenarios, rules, faqs, online game modules).
We have 564 scenarios on CCA, 107 scenarios on CCN, 20 scenarios on CCS.
In the past months I've also tried to cut off some of the continuous "spam attempts" and sadly I have unwittingly created login problem to some of you... I've also managed to resolve them but I'll take this opportunity to apologize with you.
Sometimes my intervention is timely, sometimes not so timely. So again, I want to Thank You for your patience.
In order to keep these three webistes online and running I'm here to ask for an effort to all users with whom I shared so far this wonderful adventure that I hope will continue for a long time.
Those who wish, without any obligation, could use PAYPAL form (available on right pane) and make its personal contribution.
Take care and have some nice Christmas Holidays!

Hi guys,
I'm proudly presenting 5 new scenarios from Brent Steeves.
Here they are.
| BS01 Anegawa (1570) Phase 1 |
| BS02 Anegawa (1570) Phase 2 |
| BS03 Kawagoe Castle (1546) |
| BS04 Battle of Miyajima (1555) |
| BS05 Nagashino (1575) |
| BS06 Battle of Okehazama (1560) |
You can see al scenarios from Brent checking his own "scenario designer" page (HERE) or even using tag search.
After logging in you will be able to record scenario plays.
Pressing TOP arrow (red) will record a Victory for the army at the top of the scenario picture.
Pressing BOTTOM arrow (yellow) will record a Victory for the army at the bottom of the scenario picture.
This will lead in automatic counting and calculating the balance for each scenario, as long as populate all other statiscts available in STATISTICS PAGE.
For problems or clarification needs I kindly ask for you to post questions in the FORUM.
Hi guys, I'm writing these two lines to suggest to add @ccsamuraibattles.net mail domain to your "safe sender list".
This should fix registration process.
After registering and login you will be able to see "User Menu" on the left side (see picture).
USER LIST - will show a list of registered user (with online - offline status)
SUBMIT A SCENARIO - if you have created a new custom scenario and would like to share with other users (you can send it in plain text format and then I'll add CSS styles)
SUBMIT AN ARTICLE - If you have a CCS Related or Historical related article.
SUBMIT A WEB LINK - no need to specify... :-)
SUBMIT A FILE - if you'd like to share a file to be posted in Download section
EDIT PROFILE - if you want to modify some of your registered details.
CCS website is ready to be launched!
It's still a Work In Progress, but you can easily register your account, partecipate in the forum, rate scenarios, search for them using tags and most of all record playing statistics!
I hope you can enjoy this website as much as you enjoyed his brothers (CCAncients.net and CCNapoleonics.net website).
Welcome aboard.
