Sengoku Jidai - 2022 Team Event

[GDod]

After a hard struggle, on turn 22, my heroic, though desperate, Ming finally saw off Don's Japanese challenge by 60-46. For most of the game we were suffering even casualties and either side could have won. In the end, I was able to use a wood on my right flank to make a mess of some of the Japanese spearmen and I think this made the difference.

Terrific game, very pleasant to play against Don.

Ming triumphs once again. Sad news but it sounds like Don gave it his all and almost saved our Qing Japanese allies. Maybe we'll have better luck against the Ming Mongols!

Umm, I'm the one invading Japan.

Ming Challenge: Ming Southern Army 1571-1593 invades Japan 1591-1599

I believe Ahuyton's win may be the defence of the Ming Tribal Rebels.

It is with great regreat, that I have to report to Emeror Gavin, the sad news that the Japanese Home Army has suffered an embarrassing defeat, 0-41%, in a game that I got completly wrong and resulted in a severe thrashing! I therefore offer my full appologies to our beloved Emperer, as I prepare to fall upon my sword.....

Congratulations and very well played to Brian, and thanks for an enjoyable and entertaining game
A sound lesson learned!

The tribal rebels 1595-1700 are invading the Eastern Mongols 16oo-1634.
The challenge is offered to any potential Ming defenders out there, who feel up to it....

I think you have made an error Warrior230, the Invader Tribal Rebels were conquered by snuggles and are now a Ming Province.
Gavin please help us out on this.

[warrior230]

Ok Thanks Brian....I'll take another look!

New Challenge:

Southern Rebels 1597-1683 invade Ming Northern army 1597-1683.

Gavin please help us out on this.

Although, the province was conquered a faction may still use that original army in a challenge. Please refer to previous discussion and post Brian.

An interesting thought. That may be a good amendment for the future. As it currently stands you may use any army from your faction list

Hence, Warrior's challenge is valid

Yes very good I say Gavin !
Japan has been conquered yet Japanese armies can still pour forth into the Ming, does not seem right.

Qing Bannnermen invade Western Mongols. I hope this is valid challenge.

Brian, I haven't heard the result of the invasion of Japan but I understand your point. However, I wanted to keep this one simple to see if the system works.The main idea was

• defending armies had to be from the province to provide variety (and include armies that normally wouldn't see the light of day in a tournament)

• challenging players have free choice to choose their opponent and/or army

• flexible timetable so that a player can opt out of challenges/accepting for a while but still be involved when they have time

It may be a desirable change if we played the system again.

Other thoughts include:-

• a fortified province would require an attack and defend game

• terrain is preset for each province

but Let's just say in the current game the Japanese fleet were already on their way, or engaged in a mass exodus when the shogunate fell to the Ming

[GDod]

Qing Bannnermen invade Western Mongols. I hope this is valid challenge.

Yes, a valid challenge Dave
