Hare some images from my Shogun custom battles. It's about time some Samurai entered this thread
Some of clan Oda's heavy cavalry are fighting a bunch of rebel No-Dachi in bad weather. The battle had a lot of heavy rain but it has cleared up for a few minutes here.
Gavin's first day as a Kensai was not going well
For those barbarians ( ) who didn't play Shogun a Kensai is a single man with a sword, in this picture he is being charged by 80 honour 8 heavy cavalry Amazingly he did manage to kill 9 of them before he died. The poor kensai was only honour 2
On a side note: Isn't the mist in the valley lovely?
These next four images are all from one battle. There were three units of honour 4 warrior monks (clan Oda) Vs four units of yari Samurai and two units of yari ashigaru (the rebels and ronin). It might not be a challenging battle but it was fun.
Here you can see two units of warrior monks waiting for half the enemy army to close for combat. The rebels are being sensible and keeping their general back. The other half of the rebel army is moving to outflank the monks on the left, but that is out of the picture.
This is a very scenic picture; Shogun has some truly beautiful landscapes.
The charge begins - a unit of yari samurai charge the monks lines. A second after this shot was taken the monks charged themselves.
Here is the same two units after a few seconds. They have mixed up and the formations have been broken. The monks are starting to cause casualties but the yari samurai are holding on.
The fights in Shogun were so much messier than the ones in MTW, the units loose their formations quickly and the men mix up so it can get hard to tell who is on what side. I like it
This is the Oda general, he is fighting a unit of yari samurai and a unit of yari ashigaru has already been killed on this spot (note the large number of bodies leading off screen). The monks have sustained heavy losses but they won't give up. A few seconds after this picture the rebels broke and ran, ending the battle.
And that's it, does anyone want more Shogun pics?
Also don't forget that the org's picture hosting facility applies to this thread as well, so if you want to post but have no webspace take a look at this topic.
