Koriyama Castle 1540
October

In October, although rebuffed on a number of occasions, Akihisa renewed the offensive, burning the remaining buildings outside the castle. Mori Motonari still believed he could prevail and decided to risk a general engagement, but before he marched out he sent a small force to each side of the valley to set up an ambush. The Amako army under the command of Misawa Tameyuki advanced straight at Motonari. When the two forces met, the ambush force was given the signal and emerged from hiding and the Amako army broke in panic.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.

Ideally Yellow needs to withdraw, but without Centre cards, that gets problematic.
