Question I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

I just bought the Kozuke Samurai about 30 min ago, and man, they're cool. they're charge ability would be great when on stone, because then they would get a move of 11. If its allowed to go higher than 9. is it? I always wondered. well anyway, great sculpts. Anyone have any history using them? Good Bad? I'm using them tomorrow morn. Thanks.

Re: I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

This is from the Book of Kozuke Samurai under the FAQ section:

- CHARGING ASSAULT : Bonus Movement Using Charging Assault
When using Charging Assault, can the Samurai’s movement be enhanced by anything like roads, or auras to increase
the amount of spaces it can move?
Yes. This ability is enhancing the base movement of the card, which may also be enhanced by things like Glyphs, Auras,
or special terrain. (Hasbro FAQ)

Re: I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

Keep in mind that that 11 move is only possible if they're unengaged, on road, and moving into engagement.

Anecdotally, I've used them a few times with some success. I'm always a fan of counter-strike, so these guys see lot of play with me (as do all of the samurai, and Charos, and Cap...). I like the Tagawa better, though, as their higher defense makes getting that counter-strike that much likelier.

Re: I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

The Kozuke are one of the staples of many of our games. I've always found them to be very dependable. And yes- that 8 move is useful every time we play them.

As Manatee says, the Tagawa are also a great squad. At 220 pts for the combo, I see no reason to decide between them. The Kozuke can do what the Tagawa cannot against heroes and possibly ranged fire. Heroes- because the Tagawa need some quick kills to get really scary. Ranged fire- obviously because the Kozuke's Charge spans the same distance as the Range on many ranged attacks. They are among the most flexible of melee squads.

EDIT: ::Spite sees the post above his own and freezes, hoping Cav's vision is based on movement::

Re: I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

I like them a lot, with the first few markers on them they can do some damage. I had a game where the killed Cyprien by turn 2, eliminating a huge threat. My only problem with them is they are fairly quick to die. I think if the dropped the attack by one, and made them common, they would be a great squad.

Lucky you. I tried the Kozuke once and was hooked. Their movement and attack combo did some heavy damage. I don't have them yet so they are number one on my wantlist. A Kozuke-Tagawa-Katsuro army sounds intriguing.

Re: I just Bought the Kozuke Samurai

They are awesome against low def. heavy hiters like jotun or drake, and they are worth 100 points. Die quickly though.
First round, all orders makers on them, run around assasssinating heros until there are no kozuke left.
They should come with ninjas, and trust me, i have terrible luck with disappear, so dont use them.

Dave Grohl + Josh Homme + John Paul Jones= awesome

Cav never said this was a dumb thread so I would advise you to ...

1-Don't put words into peoples mouths especially well established respected people here.

2-Use the SHFIT key...it is on the keyboard for a reason.

3-Stop being so rude. Your responses in the blogs have already gotten you warned yet you still continue to post the same way. This is not necessarily directed at this thread but I did not see the need to post it in the other threads.

4-Change your sig...because if you keep this up my motto is going to be NEG REPPING TEMP.NERD IS FUN
