Who's played shogun?

So on base there's a comic shop. The guy that runs it on Saturday has got me interested in a game called shogun (^no dur right^) no he dose have his original copy of the game in store for play testing and I really want to play (hard to to becomes fellow marines don't want to do all that nerdy bs). But I was wondering even after I play it and still like it. Should I buy a copy of it? Have you all gotten a long life out of this game? Was it ever a problem to get your friends to replay it?

Have I heard of it? No. So maybe, more information what it's about?

It's risk but with fudell Japan. It plays a little faster than risk and is pretty cool.

Oh. Well. Um.

I guess you'd need a board with a map of some kind to play?
