Samurai v Teutonic Knights
Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:07 pm
After Chasing the Mongolian Horde West my Samurai Came across a new enemy barring my way
So my Samurai Deployed to oppose them
The Teutonic's moved first and came on I advanced my Infantry towards a wood and hill that was in the middle of the table my 3 Units of mounted Samurai moved up my left flank against large numbers of mounted xbows and Knights. Then on turn 2 my first unit of Ashigaru Bowmen crested the hill and he hit 11 out of 12 9+ to hit (this was going to be a long day) killing it completely.
In the next turn things got really Hot as he charged his 3 Teutonic knights at my 3 Samurai Cavalry
with great skill the Samurai stopped the 2 side units of knights with there bow fire leaving the 1 in the middle to fight all 3 and died following up in my turn I hit the other 2 knights and a unit of mounted x bows which resulted in pushing the x bows into a wood a stalemate and a tactical withdraw by one of my units. In the center there was what could be described as a car crash as foot Samurai and ikko ikki fanatics charged into the x bowmen unfortunately the Samurai where shot off back into the wood but the ikko ikki hit and bounced.
further to my right the Teutonic spearmen where finding my Ashigaru Hand gunners very difficult to deal with as my spearmen got into place to hit them
In the Teutonic's next turn he hit my Cavalry unit fighting against his x bows in the woods as I was fighting against an opponent in a wood I couldn't count stands where his unit that hit me wasn't in the wood so did and I lost my second unit of Cavalry my 3rd was put upon by his knights but held on in a stalemate for 2 turns until some spearmen turned up. but surprisingly I managed to get away after losing half the unit he then fell back as he didn't like my Cannon park which was causing him great annoyance there then was a mighty clash of infantry which the Ashigaru won the killing 1 enemy general as they went the ikko ikki also ploughed in and by the time they had been killed had dispatched 2 and a half units of the enemy. by which time more than half the teutonic army was dead I had lost a 3rd of my army and we had 3 generals on the table out of 8 that had started a real blood bath which was touch and go the whole battle
