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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

• 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

• 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
