HISTORY DETAILS
In late December, Sue Harukata arrived with the Ouchi relief force. Motonari decided to strike again and ordered Harukata to guard his rear with the Ouchi, while he moved to attack the Amako allied camp at Miyazaki Nagao. But Harukata had no intention of waiting to do battle and seeing that Akihisa’s main camp was inadequately defended, also attacked. Amako Hisayuki's bold charge to check the Ouchi did not slow their advance and the Akihisa’s camp was overrun. Losing both camps in the days fighting, Akihisa took council and after months of fighting choose to lift the siege.

Special Rules

My chances looked strong after "Physician" brought back a Samurai Spearmen from the brink in the centre (benefit of the Command Tent) and White Dragon blunted Red's attack. Still, from 1:4, Red came back with a strong response. Rice Famine took Blue's last remaining H&F and subsequent Lack of Honor rolls weakened several Blue units and helping the scoreline to 4:4. The melees continued, sweeping up a weakened unit on both sides. Lack of 1 more hit on Red's last melee gave Blue the last turn; cavalry charge bonus combat finally catching a retreating 1 block Red Ashigaru Infantry Spearmen unit.
