DIVINE WIND - RULE CHANGE


WEATHER
Clearly, weather played a significant role in the invasion of Japan . To replicate the ‘chance of a divine wind’

• The Mongols have a 25% chance that they will be affected when moving by sea.

• The Japanese have a 10% chance of an adverse effect.

If rough seas are encountered, the affected player must take 2 units of raw troops for each rough sea encountered, or the maximum, which ever is lower.

Added to clarify

If a town/port, or shrine, is taken, or the challenge is unsuccessful, the unsuccessful player must return to the town/port, or shrine they advanced from. If unable to do so, the nearest town/port, or shrine.

Battle for Murotsu resolved, the Yuan invaders have been repulsed with heavy losses.
Hojo Defenders 9% Yuan Invaders 40%
The terrain was utilised well with ambushes and attacks from several directions giving the Yuan no chance to form up and drive the Hojo from Murotsu.

'Lords KiwiWarlord and Lascar'

'I am moving towards the Hakozaki shrine with the intent of reinforcing your positions should things not go well on the battlefield. I am currently at Imazu castle. Continue your advances and together we shall drive the barbarians from our shores!'

'Ludendorf.'

[AlexDetrojan]

AlexDetrojan(Hojo)62 has managed to defeat Gdod(Yuan)17. It was a tough battle. The Hojo were favored with about 2,000 more troops, a river and rough terrain to defend behind. A flanking maneuver by the Mongols on their left flank was of great concern(their cavalry are ferocious), but was eventually stymied by bow fire from the Hojo Yumi. After that the Yumi archers started to degrade the Mongol hordes, followed up by charges by my Samurai warriors persuaded those smelly barbarians to head to a shrine and supplicate themselves before the gods... Great game Gavin.

Question re the Defender of the Shrine Gavin.
Hojo entered the unoccupied Shrine and set up camp and gathered the Monks back to Hojo.
You posted that you moved to " Defend " Munakata Shrine.

The Attacker needs to win the Battle whereas the Defender only needs a " no result " or a " draw " to Hold the Shrine.

As Hojo was occupying the Shrine they must be the Defender and have to use all the available Monks

If not then no Monks are required within the Hojo Army but they must Win the battle to "Hold" the undefended Shrine that they occupied.
OK the Hojo may not have been there for the 4 Days but the Yuan are Invading an occupied territory.

Please state which of us is the Defender.
Thanks

Maybe an addition is in order to clarify the intention of this rule Brian

• Japanese players attacking or defending a shrine must use all warrior monks available.

• Moreover, the Japanese are attempting to take the shrine. hence they are the attacker.
