I'll let you guys argue this out, but FWIW, I ran Feudal Japanese at Fall In and
had a blast (until I failed nearly every waver against Tim Brown).
Interestingly, my favorite game was agaisnt a Swiss army. Between the two
armies we lost a total of 5 units (one a scuzzy LI unit) and we managed a 3-3
tie. The dynamics of both lists' special rules made the whole experience lots
of fun.

expert on the Samurai by any stretch, but my
view can be summarised as follows:
1. I do not believe that any armour that heavy in that period was
good enough to offer that degree of protection and allow that much
freedom of movement. It may be a case of excessive romanticisation
of Japanese "technology" and/ or "craftsmanship";
2. I am of the view that with the high morale (no quibble about that)
of the Japanese, treating them as LHI (my preferred classification)
is the way to go - if they get shot up they are still likely to pass
the test and go on to kill with their great weapons. Making them
LEHI stops them from ever being shot up. I don't think that is
right.
3. Keep in mind that this is an army that never fought a series of
battles against anyone other than itself, and never fought even one
battle anything like a fair and open against anyone ever.
I should disclose that I have in the last six months purchased the
lead for a 15mm Feudal Japanese Army - and if I ever take it to a
comp I will go for every advantage I can, including the LEHI. More
likely I will use it for Friday night and club friendlies and see
how they fare as LHI.
