HISTORY DETAILS
By midday Kosaka's flanking force was across the Chikumagawa and charged into the rear of the Uesugi army.  Caught between Kosaka from the rear and Shingen, who had reformed the Takeda battle line, to their front, the Uesugi army began to fall back. Nobutaka's "Operation Woodpecker" plan had turned what looked like a defeat into a Takeda victory.
Both sides had suffered an incredible number of casualties, and a lot of heads were to be viewed in Shingen's triumphant head-viewing ceremony.

The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. Can you change history?

Blue typically wins, but Judd has lost as Blue before. I went in not sure what to expect.

Judd put a Lt bowman in a forest hex on my left which turned out to be a thorn in my side. I could not flush him out. My left was where most of the battle was fought. Judd was doing well, but I finally killed a unit, and then his samurai leader also was killed. The tide seemed to have shifted to me.

However, in the long battles on my left, I just could not roll well. At one point I rolled 8 dice and got no hits or even honor. A terrible day.

We also both ran down our honor to the bare minimal of just 1 or 2 at times.

Judd was persistent though, and wore down my heavy units while also killing 2 samurai leaders.

Judd wins, 6-4

Good game Judd.
