Rise of the Daimyo

[Hawklord]

The defenders are worried that the Date magic stones will land on them, we are sure there is some trick here, the walls were sturdy. The main contractor has mysteriously disappeared. The general is passing a wary eye over the foundations. The local magistrates bank balance is being examined in great detail. We will get to the bottom of this, if we survive long enough.

I did not know we had a comedian among us.

 

[Cyc]

And you still don't know it, semental, as no one has told you that yet.

 

[Hawklord]

The defenders are now forced to hide behind piled up furniture. Curses on that contractor.

Yippee a rock lands on the Yambushi.
Yambushi 3/4

Diggin' in.

Action returns to Odawara approaches:

Bushi (4/4) vs Yamabushi (4/4) -> Bushi (0/4) vs Yamabushi (3/4)
Bushi (4/4) vs Yamabushi (4/4) -> Bushi (2/4) vs Yamabushi (1/4) retreats north into hills
Bushi (4/4) vs Stonearcher (4/4) -> Bushi (3/5) vs Stonearcher (0/4)
Horseman (4/4) vs Stonearcher (3/3) -> Horseman (4/4) vs Stonearcher (0/3)
Horseman (4/4) vs Yamabushi (1/4) in hills -> Horseman (0/4) vs Yamabushi (1/4)
Horseman (5/5) vs Yamabushi (1/4) in hills -> Horseman (3/5) vs Yamabushi (0/4)

1 catapult captured.

From the heavy artillery detachment, I can only assume they hoped to reproduce the miracle of Joestu.

And now for something totally different....

The Uesugi declare on the Imagawa. Daimyo Cyc, treating all terrain like roads moves in and captures the capital city of Fuji, which was left ungarrisoned.

Troops advance towards Kawasaki.

The magic rocks launchers were to strong. We have the alchemists working on a solution. Maybe anti-magic rock magic rocks. Maybe it is too late, the dark force is strong in them.

North Odawara approach:

Oda Catapult bombards Imagawa Horseman (4/5) -> Imagawa Horseman (3/5)
Oda Horseman (4/4) vs Imagawa horseman (3/5) -> Oda Horseman (5/5) vs Imagawa Horseman (0/5)
Oda Horseman (5/5) vs Imgawa horseman (1/5) -> Oda Horseman (5/5) vs Imagawa Horseman (0/5)
Oda Horseman (3/5) vs Imgawa Daimyo (5/5) -> Oda Horseman (3/5) vs Imagawa Daimyo (0/5)

We would have liked to save the people of Yokahoma & Kawasaki, but the reckless actions of Daimyo Semental that invited the Uesugi into the war, required a swift end to the war. These lands are at last free (of people and claims).

Great job Semental defending and counter attacking. If not for a few hit points, last turn, it would have been you writing my obituary.

Oh well. Had to take the shot. No point in being a cripple in the game.
