Best armys & tactics

[Da Masta]

Best army ever is 4 HC, 6 WM, 4 SA, and 2 YS
it maybe a lot of money but it works, I use the YS to take archer fire while the monks tail behind then send the calvery to the right and left of the enemy while the monks and YS hit the middle and the archers rain down some arrows.

I don't like the use the CA because there fire isn't as good as the SA and SA
A cost less.

2 armys of these will win you the war or save you from an attack.

perfect 7k army =)

Reduce the HC and put a YC and some 4 guns or more...

I tend to play smaller koku games so this is a smaller koku lineup but,

2 muskets
2 samurai archers
2-3 yari samurai (improved honor)
2-3 monks or nodachi
1 yari cavalry.

I don't see a lot of people using the Naginata. Are they completely usless? I have used them in both sp and online and they have performed well.

I hate them the only thing they are good for is bridges.

I was playing SP last night, and Imagawa invaded one of my provinces with 120 YA and 60 SA. I only had the 60 Naginata. They ended up killing 153 and only losing 10. I was very surprised.

Naginitas come in very handy in multiplayer too. Put 3-4 in front of monks and ND to take musket and arrow fire, you get hardly any casualties. Have them hold formation and position then send monks and ND around to flank.

What I find also works well is 1 line of 4 muskets, 1 line of 4 Naginita, and 1 line of 8 monks and ND(and maybe cav too). Put the muskets in front, followed by Naginita, then the other line behind. Always keep the offensive units on the 3rd line, but rotate the Nagi's with muskets to move up. In other words, have muskets in front, then Nagi's, then muskets, and so on. If the enemy charges you, then put your Nagi's in front, send 1 or 2 ND or monk unit as reserves for the center, then send the rest around the flanks. By the time your offensive units get there, they will be pratically unharmed by missle units(except for the occasional casualty).

well i have a few great armies for 6000koku as thats what i mostly play but im not gonna share them all lol.i will share one of my good ones though i have won many battles with it.
1 yari sam honour 6
no-dachi 4x-1-2-2-2
warrior monks 4x-2-2-2-2
muskets 4x-2-2-2-2
archers 2x-2-2
heacy cav honour 2
this army is very good if u split your infantry in 2 groups and when attacked or attacking send each group to the flanks and keep missles in the centre but 2 do this u have 2 be careful were u leave your general.

Naginata get tired easily and if it is going to be a huge battle stay away go for YS. They are great at holding your 1st line especially in the woods
