Hi all, here's a challenge:
Attacker: gets some Cavalry Archers. 2 units or a few more. take something about H2 W0 A0.
Defender: gets some musks and some yari samurai. take in total the same or about the same amount of units as the attacker. perferably the same amount of ya as the amount of musks. or a bit more musks. Take musks of armour 3 and with some honour. The total firepower of the musks must be better then the power of the attacking Yumi samurai, in order to make this fair.
Take the Ironing Board, or if you don't have 1.02 stats. take Totomi or whatever almost flat map. set weather to summer and niveau to expert, if you have some experience. try to get sunny weather if you can, because that's better to practice.
Strategy:
When attacking:You have Cavalry archers only. Never just engage with the Yari Samurai, because that garantees loss. The trick is to make his Yari's chase your men, so you can circle around and take out his musks. But be careful, it's hard to get out of the fight and if the Yari's come in you're done. After you get the musks, or before when the Yari don't decide to chase you, fire down the yari's. You can try routing them by attacking from front and rear the same time, when you're already routed the musks, that will be too much for their morale. But better is to put them on skirmish and target the Yari's, or just skirmish manually.
When defending:You have only Yari Samurai and Musketeers. You must shoot the enemy cav with you musks, and protect those with your Yari's. try to keep your yari's out of their range, but close enough to defend your musks.Perhaps the enemy will just target them anyway... if so the only thing you can do is to spread them. your musks have almost unlimited ammo so you should just keep firing till the enemy flees.
I have enjoyed those battles, both when defending and attacking. Being able to protect your musks is important in shogun, especially in multiplayer. and when you can handle them well cavalry archers will be a pain for your opponent. Try this challenge both attacking and defending, and when you win it make it harder by giving the enemy more honour or more men, using fewer men of our own or if you attack, attack a hill map. When you get bored just do some 1v1's using 16 units. But still give the attacker some Mounted Yumi Samurai and the defender yari's and musks. try to fit those strategies into large battles like that too.
Any tips or questions would be welcome! Please tell me something about it if you gave it a try.~:)
