I'm happy you appreciate the new design Brent. For now, it is available only in the Genpei War extension. If it works and people like it we can think about moving it in the Samurai Battles module.

Round 2, GP06 Sunomatagawa, August 1181

Mark McG/Minamoto, 6 banners won, 21 figures lost
Brent/Taira, 5 banners won, 24 figures lost

Drew an initial Centre Advance card, so I went straight up the guts. Attack into the ambush is the classic tactical advice. Figured if I was going to die, may as well try and take a few banners, and if I could get to the Command Tent, that would be decisive. First casualties were a leader each, pretty much first casualty check.
I rolled well, Brent rolled poorly.. I won, just.

Thank you for the battle report. The usual initial massacre of leaders. I am wondering if such a high mortality of leaders is realistic. Was it higher in feudal japan than in Middle Age Europe or Ancient times? Does anyone have a knowledgeable opinion?

BTW in the second red turn it seems to me that the move of Animori (the lonesome leader) is illegal. The command tent is impassable, right? Did I miss something?

my recollection is that he is a mounted leader that can move 3 hexes, so he can move around the Command tent, even though it appears in the log as a length 2 move through the tent. I did have one of those, hey... wait a minute.. never mind.. moments in the game, and this could be the one.

Mark's right about cavalry leaders moving 3……..but Arimori is an Infantry leader in this scenario. If I did move him through a unit with a leader attached (here the Command Group) it was a mistake…….or cheating…….one of the two.

Brent..

…….I was trying to remember who Arimori was. One of the sons of Shigemori and therefore grandson of Kiyomori, he was a lieutenant of Tomomori at this battle, which was his high point. As well as being a filthy cheat in C&C , he was defeated and shamefully fled with his brothers at Mikusa and then Kojima, and finally jumped into the sea arm in arm with his brothers at Dan-no-Ura and went down wit the rest of the Taira.

Well he was pretty effective last might.
A foot leader.! Maybe I was thinking someone else
