This was another nail biter that keep both of us on our toes. Just like the previous game, the leader with the fewest samurai pulled back. Judd withdrew well. I was able to take out a samurai bowman early, but then he put together his CAV units and threw down a CAV charge card. However my blue line of spearmen held, and I quickly moved back to gain some space. I had a few men on his left to annoy him, but not much happened. Just when he had me for a big center push, I played Spirit Fox which allowed me to cancel his mounted leader from advancing. It took a lot of wind out of his sails. I also got a good roll and took out a samurai spearman in one roll. I shaved off a lot of blocks, but was myself holding on by a thread. His CAVs pushed my archers to the end of the board, but twice could not put me away. My own Cav was able to kill a unit with a leader. Judd survived the leader check and pulled back to the river. However, I attacked again, and as he could not cross the river, he perished. I won on a very rare encounter for a 6-5 win. Our games just keep coming down to the wire. You can't ask for more.
Good game Judd
