My Post-Mongol Samurai faced off against Peter Dunn and his Patricians at Warlords on Saturday. I am sad to announce that Rome has successfully invaded the Land of the Rising Sun. Of course I claim the that the sun was in my eyes ...
At least I got to deploy second with a difficult hill on my right and an orchard (full of Sohei) on my left. Peter decided that having an Art(S) and a bunch of pike (Ashigaru Pike(F) are still pike) facing his knights was a poor match up and did the Roman "I think I'll rearrange my army now" trick. Yes I'm looking at you Dirk.
There was much bouncing of LH(S) off the Ashigaru and a bit of largely ineffectual shooting but eventually the Patricians managed to break the monks due to an unfortunate episode with a Monk general and a Kn(F). The other Kn(F) had marched from the Roman right to the left and eventually contacted the Samurai Cv disheartening the command. We called a day with the Peter the winner.
Note to self - need to practice more with the Samurai. They don't have a lot of intrinsic advantages but they have some reasonable troops and should be tough if I can get the doctrine right. Patience while I practice everyone.
