Blue typically wins, but Judd has lost as Blue before. I went in not sure what to expect.
Judd put a Lt bowman in a forest hex on my left which turned out to be a thorn in my side. I could not flush him out. My left was where most of the battle was fought. Judd was doing well, but I finally killed a unit, and then his samurai leader also was killed. The tide seemed to have shifted to me.
However, in the long battles on my left, I just could not roll well. At one point I rolled 8 dice and got no hits or even honor. A terrible day.
We also both ran down our honor to the bare minimal of just 1 or 2 at times.
Judd was persistent though, and wore down my heavy units while also killing 2 samurai leaders.
Judd wins, 6-4
Good game Judd.
