I love eye-candy in all my games, so I put forth some effort in making the command stands included in the boxed game as a diorama to compliment my Samurai Battles table.
I'll be using epic 6mm miniatures (previously referred to in an earlier post http://thehistoricalminiaturist.blogspot.com/2015/12/hai-on-more-conversions-part-1.html) to truly capture the scale of these opposing armies.
Additionally I substituted the Honor and Fortune tokens with some generic Chinese coins obtained online.

| Cardboard Game Tokens (Honor and Fortune Tokens: White Asterisk on a purple field) |
 |
| Chinese coins from EBay |
 |
| Typical Figures that come in the box |
Using the provided game accessories to record and document a general's winnings seemed lack luster and uninspired to compliment the epic look and feel of the game.

| Red and Black Army Command Stands |

| Vignettes depicting Army Commander receiving messages and viewing heads (victory banner representation) of vanquished enemies |
Sounds great, superb minis!
