 The Western Army of Ishida Mitsunari

 Kobayakawa Hideaki "possible traitor" decides which army he will join

 The battle commences

 On turn 4, Kobayakawa Hideaki joins the Eastern Army

 Ishida Mitsunari has early success on his right flank

 The Western Army inflicts heavy casualties on the traitor 

 But, pays a cost in the center

 The "Red Devils" of the Li Naomasa clan push the advantage in the center

Tokugawa Ieyasu and his Eastern Army claim a decisive victory.

 The paper armies were made with 28 weight paper and Scotch Clear Glue (2 way applicator) and secured to cardboard bases with hot glue. Unfortunately, the high cost of printer ink pushed the cost of these two armies to around $10.

Another fun game night with a new media and a new genre. The battle lasted 2 hours as both sides had horrendous die rolls.
