And although the game achieved some popularity for the most part the game flew under the radar of most gamers. Perhaps the blame was with the time required to assemble the 100 plus plastic Samurai figures before one could even play the game. And once assembled these plastic models, although truly fine figures, were very fragile, almost too fragile for game pieces. Finally when it was time to pack up after a game, it was extremely difficult to store them away safely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, the Samurai Battles game still gained a small following of very loyal fans. I tend to believe, many fans who were already familiar with one or more of other games that use the Commands \u0026amp; Colors system; Battle Cry, Memoir ’44, Commands \u0026amp; Colors Ancients, or Commands \u0026amp; Colors Napoleonics, actually brought them to the game. But after a couple of years of dwindling sales and the untimely death of Zvezda CEO Konstantin Krivenko, who was very supportive of the project, the game was phased out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich brings all of us, you, me and the fine folks at GMT, who also believe in Samurai Battles, to this P500 write-up for the new, improved and more robust version of Commands \u0026amp; Colors: Samurai Battles. Before getting into details why GMT’s Samurai Battles game is Great, first the standard overview text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Commands \u0026amp; Colors: Samurai Battles game rules allow players to portray important engagements of Japanese history. The battles, included in the scenario booklet, focus on the historical deployment of forces and important terrain features in scale with the game system. The scale of the game is flexible and varies from battle to battle.","brand":"HOLDSON","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":58596585308463,"sku":"PR1150518","price":367.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9159\/9663\/files\/243669_TTWNSWNHDERM.jpg?v=1790859546","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxstore.com.au\/products\/gmt-games-candc-samurai-battles-2nd-printing-board-game","provider":"SmartfoxAU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
