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.

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 Last edited by temp.nerd; July 24th, 2008 at 03:51 PM. |
