SW009 ‘Ashigaru Arquebusier w/Sashimonu Banner’

     In general, fewer Ashigaru Arquebusiers carried the small ‘Sashimono’ banners as it was believed they might hamper the loading and firing of the cumbersome matchlock weapons.  However, their commanders would assert the necessity that at least some archebusiers must ‘fly the flag’ so their positions on the battlefield could be seen from a distance.
