Gorgeous Dragon Clan army, pity they will be destroyed by Shadowlands Hordes! always good to see this range getting love, incredibly underrated

Some superb minis here!!

What game is this?

Excellent summary of these mountain-dwelling monastics. Keep up the great work!

Nice! Glad I found your channel, lots of inspiration to get my CW forces back into the fray.

Man, I really have to get my Crab figures painted up. You've done a nice job with the paint scheme. I feel you about lack of Clan War discussion online... this is really a fun game and I am always surprised how people so quickly move onto the "next big thing" and leave behind classic games like this. Eventually those folks have to get sick of the churn and buying every new game that comes out and reflect on which games they played that were actually worthwhile. Clan War is absolutely on that list for me and I am glad I still have all my minis. In a way, I am even glad that the L5R franchise has finally gone out of print as I never really liked the stuff they came out with after around 1999 or so (and I started with the very first release of the Imperial Edition of the CCG). More people should look back at these classic 90's games and bring them to life like you have. Thanks for the videos.

I would love to see a 1e Crab Expansion review as well! 1e had more units and more options for unit leadership packages as well.

That is an awesome sight!

Very Nice Brian.

Im working on an army right now; Im mostly using newer plastics for the Samurai since some of the old figures are really hard to find/IMO not quite as nice as the newer models created today. I would love to see this game get an update as Ive lost my old models for the game

Add 1 to the success column Just joined the facebook group and I am planning on learning this game so I can play it using some 6mm scale samurai armies that have been waiting for the right wargame rules Looking forwards to seeing more of your stuff!

Holy shit! Clan War videos?! Very Based.

Veey interesting I start a dragoon army but have not paint them yet. Maybe you could finish with an example of army (1500 or 2500 pts)?

Très bonne idée ces revues de clan. Tu en prévoies d'autres ?

Kaze do unit is a good low cost unit for Togashi Yokuni with tattoo liké tiger / lion. Just put it a Shield unit if there are mass bowmen

The Dragon Clan has always been my favorite, ever since I picked up my first deck of L5R cards in 1995 on a trip to Boston (an Imperial Edition Dragon Clan Deck). You should review the Dragon Clan Expansion for 1e as well; I liked the treatment of the Clans in 1st Edition Clan War much more than how Daimyo Edition handled them. One house rule I always use is to give the Agasha Fireblossoms a special rule where any target they damage with the Fire Eggs automatically becomes unformed (disrupted by the sound and smoke of the grenades). Otherwise, the limited range of that unit makes it kind of useless. Dragon Clan also have the best and cheapest Fire shugenja in the game… much better than Phoenix, believe it or not! Lots of really low-cost, decent-Fire Ring shugenjas. The army has a great feel on the table.

Love this, I will give it a watch tonight!

I like the idea of faction reviews! I would love to see some close-ups of the models and units. Thanks.

DUDE MAKE MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!

1st Edition is better, but DE is a fine game. You didn't mention that the four scenario books follow the timeline of the card game, so you can play the storyline events at the same time with both the CCG expansions and Clan War. There are also a few more minor expansions in the Imperial Herald, but nothing as substantial as these books. Great video. A good solution to the slow movement issue is to double infantry movement in the reserve phase and triple cavalry movement in the reserve phase. Works perfectly and doesn't interfere with any other rules.

Great review and comments. Thank you!

Cool 👍 i have the 4 but never used them ! 😢

Just getting back into clan wars. Sold my furst edition box years ago and now bought it again second hand. Great video!

Is this new or is this just the old one being played?

awesome!

Please to see this fight between 2 olds ennemies 👍👍

Nice report. And see everything was painted ,also very nice. One other thing the Kumo nest spiders each base counts as three for out numbered purpose.

3 void spent Can reroll a moral check. Tell the necromancer 😇

Living the dream, I swear. A little advice about table set up, putting terrain in the center of the table like a curtain causes a lot of headaches for movement later on. The best battlefields are wide open in the center… historically, generals would choose their battlefields very carefully, preferring open terrain for maneuver and so that different regiments could support each other's flanks.

Re: Blood Fury The base dice would have been 4. It's *equal* to the Maho Skill or 1/2 Magic to reflect that regular Shugenja are not as skilled in the Maho arts 👍 (You just calculated the Maho wrong in your excitement 😜)

I don't know why you were recommended on my feed, the content isn't really for me. But I wish you all the best. You seem to be passionate about your subject matter.

Great video, I've got half a mind to do some Clan War 1e videos to show the differences between that and Daimyo Edition.

I realized I forgot to specify: a full 10 points of damage is needed to inflict 1 wound. Hence 20 points of damage=2 wounds, but 27 points is also only 2 wounds.

Anyone know a place to buy or trade clanwar stuff?

This is an epic battle! Incredible paintjob on those Scorpions.

Your armies look great. I've only played the CCG, but always wondered about a tabletop wargame.

Excellent video quality, although the sound balance with the music in the beginning was a little off 🤔 I'm commenting as I watch it, so there might not be much after this: 1) The Crab who did a Left-Face shouldn't have had a -1" movement since the Free Simple Maneuver doesn't require a test, correct? 2) FEET! 😜 (during the melee demo) 3) I love that I can feel your excitement while you're clashing the two units together 😌 Overall, a great video; reminiscent of the classic bat-rep videos I fell in love with a little over a decade ago and a good refresher on how to play before I see you across the table 🙂

Not so obscur but surely ancient 😊😊 excellent vidéo !

Great vidéo very usefull. I agree with demand on magic and duel. Another question is thé possibility for french subtitle ? 😊

i didnt expect to find a video on Clan War, so im very greatful that you made this. im afraid it might tempt me to spend even more money on wargames that noone in my club would be interested to play xD i look forward to more videos on this game from you

Great to see a CW battle report. As a Shadowlands player, I kept hoping the table would catch fire and kill both the Lion and the Scorpion armies but even though that did not happen, I very much enjoyed watching your game. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see a BR for clans wars ❤ very Nice scorpion's paint too!

Very good and very helpful. But my opinion is that you have to make a part 2 with how duels magic and all the rest take place and when in a battle.

As someone who isn’t that familiar with the rules due to lack of gaming partners, this video was very helpful!

Nice work. Very helpful for a newbie like me. Thanks.

Great video! A suggestion for a short follow-up video: it would be nice to hear a deeper discussion about how Clan War is different in pace and feel than its contemporary version of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, specifically in how Clan War allows for lots of hidden information and lots of cat-and-mouse games, card-bluffing and "plans within plans" type strategies. Even deciding whether you want to increase or decrease a units initiative says a lot about how you are trying to respond to and control enemy movement. Clan War is a bit slower paced, but it really allows for secret strategies to develop.

Compleat Strategist in Boston is one of my old haunts!

Sweet poster!

My best ever exploding dice (l5r rpg) made 81

Can't wait to see your first battle report. One thing I would ask is doing a army list in it showing which each unit is and equiped with. Just for those who may not of played the game before so we know what is what.
