| Sample Crab Armies Last updated |
These are some personal armies I have fielded. Each is an experiement with a particular aspect or two of game play with the mighty Crab Clan. Perhaps they will serve as some inspiration for another Crab general as well.

Sukune's Day Out - The army I used for GenCon 2001. It is a fairly balanced army that can deal a lot of damage and has some good tactical options. Unfortunately, it is vulnerable to a dueling army, although I was lucky enough not to encounter any at GenCon. If I had not let my impatience get the best of me, I might well have made it to the finals, but I let my opponent draw me out and flank me. Sometimes even a good army design will not save you from yourself!Claws of the Crab - This is a fairly interesting army. It bears some similarities to Sukune's Day Out, as this army was a predecessor to it. This army is much stronger in dueling, with the substitution of O-Ushi for her brother and Hiruma Kage for Hida Unari. The Crab Heavy Infantry are solid troops that are not too expensive, allowing me to purchase some of the other tactical options in this army.
Ocean's Fury - An experiment to take Hida Yakamo (exp) in an army and take him for a spin. Unfortunately, he is so expensive this unit is short at least one good combat element, which leaves it very vulnerable to being flanked.
