Thank you for downloading Samurai Blades: On Deadly Ground. If you have never played Samurai Blades or a turn based strategy game, I strongly recommend going through the tutorial at least once. F1 is the help file and I suggest you take a quick look over it as well. If you'd like to download the rules, counters or maps used in the game you can go to:
