@Musicool did you mean Harima instead of Honma?

NotoriusBEN

Question with the attack phase. I can choose to attack a provincial force or an army in the territory, correct? and the provincial force and the army cannot assist each other, yes? because I didn't see this listed in the pdf

Preda

If, I read correctly, You attack separately with, army and eventual provincial forces from the same territory, but in defence, everything is put together.
I'll wait @MrBody‌ ufficial answer anyway.

MrBody

Preda is correct. Although they can attack in any order you wish. It's only during Phase D movement that armies have to go before provincial forces.

MrBody

Sorry, negligent of me to not make a final decision of player elimination. We are playing with the house rule that eliminating a player's final daimyo does not convert all his stuff to yours (his units disappear and his lands go empty), but it does allow you to replace one of your own dead daimyos for 2 levy koku next turn.

NotoriusBEN

hrmph, i've been dreading this turn, but it needs to happen.

Phase A.
move Army 2 Suruga, leaving behind the spearman because the game won't let me take him with me.
move Army 3 to Oki in the middle of the night.

Phase B.
Army 2 to attack Shinano
Army 3 to conduct naval operations and subdue Tsushima

Phase C.
Army 2 simply walks into Shinano.
The cunning daimyo continues with the remnants of his forces, and the ronin he hired to attack Purple Army 2 on the fields of Mino

Army 3 attacking Provincial force at Tsushima



hey, @MrBody, invisible castle is down, and there are a fair amount of rolls to make. Is orokos working properly with the forums now or is there another dice roller you want me to use?

MrBody

Go nuts with whatever, but geth is crazy limited right now and would require a billion posts for the battle.

MrBody

Were you waiting on me to roll?

Casualty preference for @kirindal ?

NotoriusBEN

yea, i've been looking for another dice roller, and I'd rather you just roll it @‌MrBody
the temptation to fudge rolls without keeping an automatic history is too great

MrBody

Alright, casualty order preference for you and Kirindal, please.

Kirindal

We'll be shedding off spearmen, swordmen, and archers in that order for casualties sustained.

NotoriusBEN

My casualty list will be gunners, then archers in the ranged phase; spearmen (if any), ronin, samurai in the melee.
keep the largest possible force for killing in the next phase of attack

MrBody

Geez. Invisible Castle is down and for the life of me I can't find any signup or password recovery option on Orokos. Will try later.

MrBody

Okay, it's STILL down and I can't find any way to register on Orokos. Am I just missing something?

MrBody

At this point I'm thinking I'll just use physical die rolls. Would everyone trust me with the results?

NotoriusBEN

I would be willing to trust you since you are the host and have no stake in the outcome... I would think... :P

Kirindal

Go ahead with the dice rolling. I've no problem with it.

Preda

No problem with you to roll, if it ever happen to my rolls.

Musicool

Make it so!

MrBody

Alright, I'll roll it up as soon as I get home.

(everyone PM bribe offers to me in the meantime)

Orange Army 2 to continue towards Mino and gain glory by wiping out Purple Army 2.

hrmm... I thought Army 3 had more experience.

MrBody

I checked last turn. Army 3 definitely went up a notch. They did sit tight in their castle not attacking for a few turns.

NotoriusBEN

this is unfortunate... but still required.
