Samurai battles   Leave a comment

The mist rises over the Matachi river. The year is 1517 and the Takeda are defending as the Mori cross the river and attack.

This is the second scenario in the samurai battles CCA book.

Link played as Takeda and me as Mori. My Mori crossed quickly with the cavalry and launched a mounted charge which gave me an early lead after a Shogun card .

However my hold and fire card was blocked by Link who then counter attacked and soon we were at five flags each with one more needed to win.

Somehow my Ashigaru survived with one hit remaining. On my turn I moved up with my last remaining cavalry unit led by my commander and rolled two hits thus claiming victory!
