WOW! I read in the manual that an enemy ninja can open the gates and allow the outside force in during the nite. I have tried this and sure enough - it is an option that is given. The percentage of success is quite low, and I have not been able to succeed - but supposedly this will give you a HUGE boost enabling a final slaughter. Anyone succeed in this endeavor? If so, how is the battle handled?

I have been successful with this tactic.You don't fight a battle,it is like auto resolve.Drop your ninja on the castle,choose open gates,then make sure you take your army and drop it on the castle like a normal end siege attack.

I have tried it once and I was successful!! The message box came up and said that it was very successful. All the enemies are dead but it doesn't say how many of your men are dead. But I took a look and hardly any of my men were killed.

I read that too, haven't tried it yet though. Kinda confusing, gates are already open during an assault. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif

Why bother taking a risk with letting the AI decide on your chances? Send your BN in with another unit as the Taisho - so the AI does not give away your BN's position with a nice white blob - and the unit of BN can easily take out 200 defenders. Done it many times. Even if they have archers the BN have a defence of 8(?) and will slaughter the archers. The honour your BN pick up is amazing as well.
