It is 1562 and there is only war.

979fddd2eb.jpg



After the defeat and death of Yoshimoto Imagawa at the hands of Oda Nobunaga, the once powerful Imagawa Clan fell into internal disputes. Taking advantage of this situation, one of their retainers, Ieyasu Matsudaira, rebelled and establised himself at the province of Mikawa. An alliance with Nobunaga further cemented his position and secured his western border.

686038037e.jpg



The Imagawa clan holds two provinces in the east, while the Takeda in the mountains of Kai have recently expanded and become a force to be reckoned with.

From left to right: Gold, rations, horses, firearms, development, labor.

Ronin are hired, especially those capable in handling domestic maters, to help in developing our provinces.


66dcb9ae83.jpg


The first step is to enact a policy of increasing labor, where mlitary manpower is used as workforce in the provinces. It costs quite a bit of gold to maintain but it will do for a bit.


dfb2719b5b.jpg



To keep the Hojo from interfering in favor of the Imagawa, a diplomat is sent to improve relations.


3bab97ee7f.jpg


Since no armies will march for a while it is safe to sell rations to finance the army buildup.

c7beb3439e.jpg



Relations gotta be maxed out. The Hojo are probably the most powerful clan at this point, it doesn't hurt to keep them on or side.

Benis'd.

3ea86afad8.jpg


With harvesting season over, more grain is sold as money is always in short supply.

e5c93bdbbc.jpg


Nobunaga asks us to defend Inuyama from his enemies in Mino. If we do end up fighting a battle, it might be worth the rations as it will serve as training for our officers, might allow us to capture enemy leaders and will put us in the Oda's good graces.

8dd3877b56.jpg



Okazaki Castle's army is raised and makes for Inuyama.

As Nobunaga suspected, a combined enemy force prepares to lay siege.

Gifu is a fuckhuge fortress, the 2nd large castle in Nobunaga's possession.

Nevertheless, the army arrives in Inuyama.

The besiegers are caught off guard in a night assault.

Nobunaga arrives to reinforce but by then Ieyasu has already trashed the enemy formations.

BUT HAYHAYHO NIGGA. WE GOT THE LU BU OF THE GAME WANDERING THE PROVINCE AS A RONIN.

The guy is hired without a second thought and rewarded with a treasure to keep him loyal.

a4b01c2b63.jpg



A 2 year alliance is signed with the Hojo. We are now clear to invade the Imagawa.


3a04450a28.jpg



All the armies make towards the border in haste. The enemy has greater numbers, so speed and concentration of force is of the essence.

IT'S ON.

PREPARE TO HAY-HAY-HOOO

Almost 3000 of their men are caught in the midst of this lightning offensive, finding themselves outnumbered as the rest of their soldiers are still enroute from the east.



ITZ STARTING.

CHAPTER 1: FUCK THE IMAGAWA

Here goes.
15e52c0b7f.jpg
Completely caught out of formation. The outcome is easy to predict.


d2be7a18da.jpg



The northern armies push the enemy towards the fortress of Nagashino while the southern ones continue slaughtering their way through the overextended Imagawa.

2c01259b87.jpg



Tribal auxilaries from Mikawa are sent in first, acting as cannon fodder to keep losses in our main units at minimum.

a68a8e6e8e.jpg



The enemy is easily outflanked.


b51f55e17d.jpg



They try to pull back but find another army assaulting their rear.


4cc9a14fc3.jpg



Hikuma is open but if Ieyasu strikes north he can trap a further 3000 men around Nagashino.


8ffb5d2e0f.jpg



53c9dd19a3.jpg



Forces at Hikuma Castle attempt to sally out but are caught and destroyed.

cb624af40a.jpg



4c6007f11a.jpg



The enemy is thrown back with heavy losses.


76a10a1008.jpg



Fighting around Nagashino is hectic and the battle switches back and forth.


a6c16cbfed.jpg



One battered army retreats.


f7b723b778.jpg



46c7c44d5c.jpg



A smaller unit is overwhelmed by superior officers and volleys and thrown into confusion.


c5324f5938.jpg



A mass charge breaks it completely.

426c30da5f.jpg



300 men die until Ieyashu maneuvers around to trash the remaining formation.

0ee5de9d32.jpg



Nagashino is too strong and well fortified to take without wasting many men storming it, so the army makes for Hikuma.


26219b3eae.jpg



Another 1500 appear to try and frustrate attempts at sieging it. If I'd moved slower by opting to keep supply lines or invested one location instead of trying to catch their armies while they were still arriving I'd have been overwhelmed.

1235847966.jpg



Their efforts are in vain however and Hikuma soon falls. With our supply lines cut and our rations dwindling, further operations have to be suspended until September.

55fbca6a42.jpg



But the campaign was successful. A fortress taken and the larger part of the Imagawa army destroyed. They won't be able to recover fully in this small breathing window.


39a56b0898.jpg



In september the western army marches again-towards the massive fortress of Nagashino.


b703ec4265.jpg



A tribal force serving under the enemy attempts to hold a fortified hill but are hopelessly outnmbered-


fae72783a0.jpg



-and outmatched.

8996abcdf4.jpg



The charge pushes them over the hill and wipes them out.

bf125bbd44.jpg



While the main part of the army heads north, the rest makes for Hikuma, where it will remain as a reserve.


915ac8ee04.jpg



Ominous. Better the friendly Hojo than the expansionist Takeda Shingen.

beb6c00eb1.jpg



Much larger battles are taking place in the east and the Imagawa send their last reserves in.

552253ef8e.jpg



Not much to worry about. We have the numbers to contest the river crossing and maybe take the castle as well.

c4f1e65ee1.jpg



Shit. Should have checked him up before. If he ends up defecting he'll catch the northern army between himself and Nagashino.

6d948a3fe3.jpg



This could well be the last major battle fought against the Imagawa.

7798492f19.jpg



Sakai is a pretty decent officer and his Leaderaship score + Ability make him great at defending.

746f06670e.jpg


1925345266.jpg


But the enemy charges anyway, losing more men despite his numerical advantage. Sakai still takes a battering from the enemy horsemen.


d7a1d9384f.jpg



Could have gone better. Got overeager and went in range of their towers and charge.


9fee72dba6.jpg



One more unit remains.

5c5bd4a741.jpg


650ffb9d5b.jpg




A similar situation plays out at Nagashino.


30b19efbd1.jpg



136fb2aeb0.jpg



Routed, they are thrown back against the gates.


05d487a54f.jpg



14df07498a.jpg


664cf554fd.jpg



f72afaa5e0.jpg



Many ronin arrive and are all employed as new officers are needed to govern the conquered territories.


c575f3874d.jpg



With the exception of Inui, which fell to an Oda force hurrying to steal some spoils, all of the Imagawa fortresses are under Ieyasu's control.

HISAHIDE MATSUNAGA

REALM: 911 ( "CALL THE POLICE, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK" REALM)
CHARACTERISTICS: FUCKED OVER BY ANIME

A companion of Miyoshi Chokei, he was a retainer of Miyoshi Masanaga from the 1540s. He directed the conquest of the province of Yamato in the 1560s and by 1564 had built a sufficient power-base to be effectively independent. It is believed that he was conspiring against Chokei during this period, from 1561 to 1563 three of Chokei's brothers and his son Yoshioki died.

In 1565, the guardians and Hisahide worked together and dispatched an army to capture Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun, who was then either murdered or forced to commit suicide. His brother Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled and the shogun was replaced by his young cousin, Yoshihide.
In 1566, fighting started between Hisahide and the Miyoshi. Initially the forces of Hisahide were unsuccessful and his apparent destruction of the Buddhist TĹŤdai-ji in Nara was considered an act of infamy

Hisahide often appears as a shriveled and scheming old man in fiction. However, this is a fictitious image propagated in response to the assassinations and the destruction of TĹŤdai-ji that he was believed to have perpetrated. In truth, he was a tall, handsome, and educated man as well as a patron of arts

jZyuZ.jpg
: It was Yoshiteru himself paying no mind to the motions of the world, acting in futility only to fulfill his own ambitions. Neither the shogunate nor swords will be needed in this world to come. All that await one who fails to notice that is death.

jZxPs.jpg
: REPORTING, MY LORD. LORD ASHIKAGA HAS FALLEN.


jZyuZ.jpg
: Finally dead, is he? How did he meet his end?

jZxPs.jpg
: Our men surrounded him with tatami as shields, then slew him.
