History
Japan’s Sengoku Jidai – the “Warring States” period – was a time of near-constant conflict and shifting alliances between feudal lords known as daimyōs. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, powerful clans fought for supremacy, each raising disciplined armies of Samurai and conscripted Ashigaru foot soldiers. Battles such as Sekigahara in 1600 determined the fate of the nation, ushering in the Tokugawa Shogunate and over two centuries of peace. Heiho: The Art of War captures this epic era of tactical brilliance and relentless ambition, bringing its historical drama to your tabletop in vivid miniature form.
