Now 800 point Samurai

[irondog068]

I took on a 800 Mongol army and I found a couple of weakness with my battle plan. The 800 point is basiclly the 600 point list with more Ashigaru (all armored). and just so I used all the points 4 fortifications. What I found out was:
1) Ashigaru with Yari being only protected were kind of a weakness. Mainly because of there lack of armor.
2) As cool as foot Samurai are unless I can catch the horse (they did twice and bad things happened to the Mongols) without missle fire and being forced to take a Ashigaru with Yari I do not think they are worth the points.
3) Samurai cavalry are evil! They were attacked by Mongol light horse with a General from behind and they killed a stand and the Attached Samurai General was able to bring a Mongol General's head to the Diamyo.

What I plan to try next game this Friday is:
1xFC
2xTC
1x4 Samurai Cavalry
1x6 Ashigaru Protected/Avg/undrilled/offensive spear. (Have to take one of these with every "pure" Samurai unit)
1xAllied commander with a 6 stand Ashigaru Armored/Avg/Undrilled/Bw*/HW
The rest of the army (8 units I think) are all Ashigaru Armored/Avg/Undrilled/BW*/HW
This lines a 8x5 table from side to side with a reserve and everything but 1 unit shooting and every unit with having a shock weapon.
