I got in on this string a bit late so if I repeat what someone else said I apologize. I was an Asian History major in college and I must say that one of the best movies depicting medevil era Japan is the Movie "Shogun" by James Clavell (spelling?). (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hey all, I received a baggie of chrome parts from an Ebay auction today and outfitted my knights with them. It's great to see the breastplate available in such a small set, and the chrome Dragon Master helm is great! I hope this is a trend that (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It captures the sweep and movement of battlefields very well. The movie can also be a little tedious at points. Kurosawa's films always seem to hover around 1600 (firearms usually appear) and I recommend them in general: Seven Samurai, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
