Editorial Reviews: Product Description 'If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete' (Sun Tzu, The Art of War). Empires of the Dragon, the new companion book for Field of Glory, reveals the secrets of the armies of Asia, from the samurai of Japan and the forces of the Qin to the elephant hordes of India and Thailand. With historical overviews, maps and artwork, and details for hundreds of new troop types, generals now have everything they need to know to command or crush the empires of the Far East. CONTENTS: 160 pages; soft cover

Customer Reviews: Another List Collection from FoG March 7, 2010 Christopher M. Tebo (San Antonio, Texas United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Probably one of the better list books in my opinion. This and Oath of Fealty have the most army lists so you get quite a value here. My only possible gripe is that chariots may be under what was historically present in the early Chinese (for lack of a better term!) armies. Also, I believe there should be an early border nomad list that actually has chariots. It must be remembered that barbarians in the early period became the "civilized" people in later periods. The division between barbarian and civilized early on had more to do with cultural differences than anything else. I might also question the Japanese list that throws together cavalry and foot troops as being in the same unit. While no doubt that they interacted closely, I don't think they are modeled well in this fashion. As unit formations are important, I think some sort of a detachment rule similar to the older WRG rules sets might be a better way to model this. Also, cavalry still played an important part in battles for quite some time, I am not sure that infantry was such a large proportion as in the some of the lists presented. The last Samurai list encompasses too broad of a time period and should have been broken down in two. I think also that Offensive Spear should be available in larger proportions too. But again, these are personal opinions and don't necessarily detract from the the playability of some of the armies. From a competitive point of view, there are quite a few viable open list tournament armies in here that should perform well. Again, there is a wealth of information here and it is great to have a short historical write up for each army listed. The illustrations are the great ones from the Osprey series. Most of the armies listed in here also have the benefit of having some of the newest Osprey artwork and artists.
