Bamboo Barricades: The Ingenious Defenses of Feudal Japan
Reinforce your lines and hold your ground with our brand-new Sengoku Jidai Bamboo Barricades release!
In the chaotic, fast-paced warfare of medieval Japan, commanders needed fortifications that were both fast to deploy and shockingly resilient.
Nature provided the ultimate solution: bamboo.
Prized for its incredible tensile strength and fibrous density, bamboo was heavily utilized to construct rugged barricades and stake-walls. These ingenious defenses served a dual purpose on the battlefield—acting as an effective physical deterrent to disrupt and break terrifying cavalry charges, while providing sturdy, lightweight cover for archers and matchlock ashigaru firing from relative safety.
This new papercraft sheet brings that historic ingenuity straight to your tabletop, creating a striking and authentic scenographic item that adds instant tactical depth and visual drama to any medieval battleground.
Protect your flanks, anchor your defensive lines.
Welcome to the Age of Battles. Welcome to the Sengoku Jidai
Notes
Once downloaded, the sheets can be printed as often as you like, which means you can build up any number of Barricades very cheaply.
You will need scissors, a craft knife, glue, appropriate paper and some stiffer card for bases, all of which are described in the how-to section.
The figures are laid out in A4 format, which will print onto US legal sized paper, or will fit US letter size printed at 93%.
You can, of course, print the Bridge in any scale you choose, making them uniquely flexible in this respect.
