HISTORY DETAILS
Through the night, the flanking force of "Operation Woodpecker" under the command of Kosaka had ascended Mt. Saijo only to find that the Uesugi troops had abandoned the position. Hearing the sound of battle, Kosaka quickly moved to the ford of Amenomiya, which was guarded by Amakasu Omi-no-kami Kagemochi, one of Kenshin's most reliable generals, and a small detachment of men.
The fighting was fierce as the Uesugi rearguard was almost wiped out trying in vain to stop the crossing. When Kosaka and his men did cross the Chikumagawa the stage was set for a dramatic turn of fortunes, for Kansuke's "Operation Woodpecker" plan would surprise Kenshin and his army.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. Can you change history?
