HISTORY DETAILS
In 1568 Oda Nobunaga's army had control of Kyoto, but when the Asai joined Asakura, together they effectively cut off Oda's army from it's home base. With some sly maneuvering however, Oda managed to return home and after reinforcing his army, headed back. He was laying siege to Yokoyama south of the Ane River when the Asai and Asakura forces arrived to the north. Both sides deployed for battle with Oda facing Asai and Tokougawa against Asakura. The two almost separate battles were fought across and in the Ane River. Although there was a disparity in numbers, the Asai were holding their own until the Asakura were finally forced to retreat.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. Can you change history?

udd and I finally got back to the board to play a game. I was red and Judd blue. I was outnumbered a bit, and had fewer samurai infantry. But nonetheless I wanted to win. Judd set up to play a serpent card, and I pulled back to try to unify my troops. We went back and forth with some ranged battle, and his guns did more damage than my arrows.

He finally moved up, and I had a lot on my hands to deal with. I hit his right side several times, but was not able to punch through. I did play a personal challenge that killed his leader. That helped some, but eventually he still have more numbers. I Head Hunter card game me some honor, but I was losing men and honor too quickly.

I had one shot left to win, which was a Cav unit trying to hit his weak units in the back. But Judd had a great Dragon card that froze me in place. That was my last chance.

Judd wins. Great game Judd.
