First Battle of Azuki-zaka (1542)

The Oda and Imagawa were great rivals, but fighting between these two families was rare, for the two were separated by the domains of the Matsudaira family. In 1542, however, Oda Nobuhide and Imagawa Yashimoto, seeking to extend their influence and reacting to moves by the other, both advanced into Mikawa. The armies met at Azuki-zaka, near the Matsudra capital of Okazzaki. The Imagawa army’s vanguard was led by a brave warrior, Yuhra, but was quickly overpowered by Oda Nobuhide and his three brothers.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
