    I've heard that Samurai Warfare by Dr Stephen Turnbull is good (he was a consultant for the game) though I haven't got my hands on a copy yet.

    I'd love to get my hands on Akira Kurasawa's movies like Ran and Seven Samurai but they aren't distributed to Australia. If I get it from the US it would cost a fortune and they are probably dubbed. If I get them from Asia the subtitles are really poor.

    Search through the forums, there are plenty suggested books and movies.

    You are right it's really a good book, he use the Army of Takada Shingen to describe the avrage army ( the warriors + the support )
