Wargames Atlantic Heiho: The Mass Battle Samurai Game
Heiho brings large-scale samurai warfare to the tabletop with a fast, elegant ruleset designed for sweeping battles, heroic duels, and iconic Sengoku-era formations. Created to complement Wargames Atlantic’s growing samurai range, this book offers an accessible yet strategically rich system perfect for both new and veteran players.
Product Info:
This core rulebook provides everything needed to command armies of samurai, ashigaru, monks, bandits, and more. Inside you’ll find force-building guidelines, battlefield scenarios, terrain rules, unit profiles, and special actions inspired by historical Japanese warfare. The game emphasizes maneuver, discipline, and the dramatic clashes that define samurai combat.
About the Setting:
Heiho evokes the feel of 16th-century Japan, an era of shifting alliances, powerful daimyo, and armies raised from castle towns and rural provinces. While grounded in history, the system also welcomes cinematic moments—archery volleys, spear walls, sudden cavalry charges, and decisive samurai duels—all tailored for mass battle gaming.
About the Model:
Though designed with Wargames Atlantic kits in mind, Heiho is fully compatible with most 28mm samurai miniatures. The rules support large units and impressive army displays, encouraging collectors to build and paint substantial forces. Clear diagrams and streamlined mechanics make it easy to learn and fast to play at any scale.
