Editing Nippon (section)

===3E===
The Nippon forces began their slide into obscurity in this edition; in the corebook, they don't even warrant a separate entry as a nation in the basic writeup of the setting, being instead folded into the Cathay writeup - the book promises that "a complete guide to the lands of Nippon is already under development", but it never appeared.

''Warhammer Armies'' saw them downgraded from their own independent fighting force to simply a [[Mercenary]] force. In this edition, [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elf]] armies could take a single Samurai Lord commanding a single [[Ninja]], up to 60 [[Samurai]] and up to 60 Ashigaru... why were Dark Elves the only army that could take Nipponese allies? Who knows!
