Thanks, Gavin, for an excellent game. Your Ikki monks were fearsome and their numbers told in the end as my troops kept getting outflanked. A most enjoyable defeat.

Kyōnyo Shōnin, the 12th Monshu of the Jōdo Shinshū Hongan-ji and Ikko-Ikki now challenges Hojo Ujiyasu of the Hojo clan for his home province and the glory of his lord Oda Nobunaga.

Map Update #8

Disobeying his lords advice, Rennyo the 8th of the Jōdo Shinshū Hongan-ji commanded his Ikko Ikki to seize a hill surrounded by steep sides on his right. In a race to the crest, his force was intercepted before they could reinforce the top, and cut to pieces by a strong force from the Asakura clan led by Asakura (Snugglebunnies) Yoshikage himself.

So I just wait to issue more attacks until the next campaign turn, correct?

You may issue challenges immediately after the result is posted snuggles (ie: now) You may also direct me as a retainer to attack nominated provinces.
At the moment I'm locked in combat with Hojo Ujiyasu for his Home Province. (though I fear he's playing very coy, despite the imminent threat to his camp!)

So I'm not too clear on the rules, but would I be clear to attack Kiwi in Otomi then?

Match is up, pw snuggles

So, I'm late to the game after a year hiatus from playing SJ. Are the Ikko Ikki playable? Is there still a space left for another player? Thanks.

Welcome back Alex.
There are some White Provinces left so I would say so.
Gavin will set you up I'm sure.

That would be great.

You are welcome to join Alex. you may choose between the Imagawa clan or the Toyotomi clan.

Imagawa Ujizane
After his defeat in the 1569 Siege of Kakegawa, Imagawa Ujizane allied himself with Ieyasu in return for help in recovering his territory in Suruga Province.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Hideyoshi rose from a peasant background as a retainer of the prominent lord Oda Nobunaga to become one of the most powerful men in Japan and is regarded as the second "Great Unifier" of Japan.

• See page three for rules, players and background as to the situation in 1570.

Lascar (Akai) defeats SMJohnso77 (Uesugi)for Amigo Province. 47/20
The Uesugi fought valiantly and were worthy opponents.

It is correct that a province can only be attacked if it is adjacent to one that you control? In other words, no sea borne invasion allowed.
