Nice chapter again Kage. I'll send you my decisions this weekend. :2thumbsup:
Envoy to Miyoshi and All of Japan
Clan Asai has decided to hand over the family and heirs currently in our possesion to there master Kitabatake who is currently residing as Miyoshi's Guest.
Asai Nagamasa has also decided to offer young Kitabatake a chance to uphold his families honour and once again prove the Kitabatakes worth on the battlefield. I come with an offer to make you a General in my armies with great power, land and men under your command... if you prove yourself half the samurai our father was it will be worth the risk of a knife in the dark, but if you prove urself .. your clans land, Ise, will be yours to rule in my name.
The war between your clan and mine was a war between our fathers which i settled at his request. I do not view you as an enemy and looked for all avenues for your father to live on and serve me as the great samurai he was. I have no bad blood towards yourself and grant you free passage throughout my lands and all japan.. all Kitatabatake family member now come under my protection and any disregard of this will be challenged with the might of the Asai.
Asai Nagamasa
To Asai Nagamasa
We would like to thank you for your offer and are grateful for your decision to return our family members back to us. But in any case we must confess that as Miyoshi has offered us shelter in these turbulent times, it will be Miyoshi who we shall serve, until reinstated back in our own lands.
Kitabatake Tomonori
We welcome the honourable step of the Asai Lord. We hope to see more steps like this on the troubled land of Nippon.
Miyoshi Chokei, Kanrei
Btw, Kage how many people are the Kitabatake family? I would like to discuss some details with Ravie on the topic.
Well Stephen,you are asking easy questions today.:help: Well the family members would be the wife of late Harumoto, Tomonoris and his two brothers wives and children. I dont have any historical data of how many daughters Harumoto had and likely they would have been married off to other clans in any case. I hope that helps.:smash:
Good. We, the Kanrei of Nippon, are going to send a ship to take the Kitabatake family.
:bow:
This is fine.. i was going to send them escorted via my personal guard to ur capital.. but if wish to send a ship then this is fine.
when are orders due?
Lets say Friday this week, it seems that there are still lot of diplomacy going on.:smash:
Gah! and i rushed to get mine in on the 25th.. the deadline... :furious3: :furious3: :thumbsdown:
Well now you have few more days to perfect your tactical schemes.I suggest you spend them well:smash:Quote:

Unto Lord Matsudaira,
It is no dishonor to surrender before insurmountable odds. It is better for my soul to let you live instead of crushing you like the rocks of an unstable mountain falling upon a poor peasant. Thus, I afford you this one chance to surrender and treat with me as to the fate of your lands. Perhaps you may be even humble enough to realize your mistake and become a vassal of the glorious Imagawa again.
Lord Imagawa Yoshimoto
Lord Imagawa, I doubt that someone who admits himself to be as an unstable mountain, could be accounted for as honourable. Thus I am beginning to understand why the Matsudaira has renounced their vassalship to you, and I pray that many clans will rise to oppose your coalition before it is too late.
Honour has forsaken this land. What daimyô would forsake his independence to serve another lord, and what lord would ally with another for any sake but his own?
Ôtomo Sorin

I cant see nothing dishonourable in the behaviour of Imagawa Yoshimoto, unless mercy is dishonourable in the eyes of Otomo Sorin.
Hojo Ujiyasu
A rider sneaks out in the middle of the night, carrying a copy of this message to every daimyo in the land
Come to your senses and see the truth. This foul alliance of the Hojo, Takeda, and Imagawa controls a massive army capable of conquering each daimyo, one, by one, by one, until the remainder are to weak to offer even a token resistance. Do not disregard me as a rebellious vassal, because if you do not soon unite and act against the foul alliance then you too, in time, will be reduced to a vassal of their empire. Heed my words, and unite. If not for me then for your own families and your own honor.
Tokugawa Ieasy
Envoy to Hojo
If Lord Otomo was thinking in anything similar to my own train of thought then I believe Lord Otomo was stating that Lord Tokugawa was clearly fed up serving the complete fool that is Imagawa.
Asai Nagamasa
Well if being betrayed makes one a fool, then many of us are complete idiots. I wonder what is worse, being fool or living without honour, like those of us who have betrayed their masters and turned against their allies.Quote:

What Matsudaira is now doing is what so many others have done before him. Spitting on him for his deeds would be like spitting on the graves of your forefathers. This however does not mean I am speaking in his favour, indeed a rebellious vassal should be smitten without pardon. Therefore I think that it is folly and not mercy that inspires Imagawa to pardon Lord Matsudaira, hoping he could shorten this campaign to quickly turn his hungry eyes elsewhere,
Ôtomo Sorin
Hojo,
Lord Otomo has just backed up me view again but in a few more detailed words... Imagawa is a fool.
Asai Nagamasa
Not sure why I never rejoined this interactive. Kage, may I be Shimazu?
Wellcome back Ichi, i will send you information about the Shimazu and you can start your game after the next chapter is out. About the next chapter, waiting orders from: Asakura, Satomi, Satake and Uesugi.. Please hurry up guys.:smash:Quote:

Chapter 11. Autumn 1562
https://img503.imageshack.us/img503/...ncolorsrw4.jpg
"A general of great merit should be said to be a man who has met with at least one great defeat."
- Asakura Norikage (1474-1555)
Like the Autumn leaves dropping from the trees and rotting on the ground, the bushi of many daimyo´s face their destiny during this season, forever loosing the light of their eyes, closing those eyes and falling in to eternal sleep of death.
On Kuyshu, Shimazu Takahisa decides to join in support of his allies Otomo and orders troops to join the war against Amako. Shimazu fleet embarks from Satsuma as the season begins.
In Chukogu, lots of manouvering takes place. Alarmed by the devastation in his home provinces, Mori Motonari orders a general retreat. His forces supporting Ukita in Bizen and both siege armies from Izumo and Bingo retreat to Mori´s home lands and start immediately rooting out the Amako raiding parties.
As Motonari retreats from Bingo, Otomo force umbering about 8000 men abandon the siege of Taigashima and march North to take over the siege of Amako capital Gassan Toda.
After Kikkawa Motoharu has left with his 9000 men, Amako inspects the enemy force and finds out that the numbers of the Otomo force is smaller then the previos Mori army. While 3000 Amako men has returned from Iwami, to harass the siege army, Amako Yoshihisa decides to sally.
On the night of september 12th Amako forces launch a surprise attack from the South and Western Gates of Gassan Toda, while 3000 Amako men attack from the rear of Otomo forces. Locally outnumbered, the Otomo force cant stop the attack and soon half of the Otomo army is routed.
In this situation, leader of Otomo forces Yoshimune has no other options, then order a retreat. Amako forces drive the remnants of the Otomo army out from the sight of Gassan Toda and after that deploy only scouting parties to witness the withdrawal of the Otomo army to North East.
In the battle Otomo looses about 4000 of their almost 8000 men, icluding some 500 teppos. The remaining less then 4000 keep withdrawing towards the North coast of Izumo. Amako losses in the battle are about 1000 men. On 15th of September, the scouts of Shimazu army, which has landed, meet Otomo and the two armies combine near the coast, together now numbering 12000 men.
Meanwhile Amako Yoshihisa decides to leave Gassan Toda with his father and main retainers and the castle is left under the command of Amako Tomohisa, brother of Yoshihisa. The garrison is joined with the 3000 Amako men from Iwami and now numbers 7000 men.
The Shimazu commander, Iriki-in Shigetsugu, rejects to besiege Gassan Toda again with their current numbers and the allied army remains in North Eastern Izumo.
Meanwhile in Bingo, as the Otomo has abandoned the siege, Amako sends scouts to the border of Aki to assemble the remnants of their raiding parties, while majority of their troops have been destroyed by the huge amount of Mori troops who have been hunting them down.
In Bizen situation remains calm as both Ukita and Yamana stay in their earlier positions.
In Kinai, Miyoshi dispatches ships to Ise to get back the family members of Kitabatake. While Asakura stays put in Owari and Mino, trying to rip every koku out of their new domain, their forces in Kaga are in serious problems, while the Asakura force in Kaga receives 1000 koku from a third party and raises additional 1000 men to protect Otama Kobo castle. They have new enemies as the Hatakeyama of Noto invade the province from North.
With an simultaneous attack, 3900 Hatakeyama warriors attack from north, while 3000 Oda and 2000 Asai warriors from South. The combined army surrounds Otama castle commanded by Asakura Kagetsura with his 2000 men and a ferocious assault starts on morning of 5th of September. Hatakeyma starts their assault from the North side of the castle while Oda attacks from South and Asai from West.
At noon three waves of attacks have been repulsed by Asakura, but the numbers tell a cold story. with each attack the Asakura ranks grow thineer and thinner, but the brave defenders hold the castle until sundown.
After sundown Kagetsura gathers his men on the courtyard of the castle and serves the remaining sake to his exhausted men.After brief silence the Taisho talks to his men.
"You men fought well today. You have done everything to your master that could have been done. I thank you in place of the Asakura daimyo for your great service to our clan. Once our lord returns, he will surely avenge our deaths. Have no fear, because our earthly problems are about to end. Take courage to your hearts and take as many invaders with you as possible, because tomorrow we shall all be dead, if heaven wills it."
After his speech Kagetsura orders his men to rest and a sigle flute starts to play until the morning hours. The fascinated besiegers listen through the night as the flute performs beautiful, but sorrow tunes, to both the besiegers and besieged. On the morning of 6th day the flute silences and orher tune starts this time with the load roar of concentrated teppo´s, playing the death tune of Kagetsura and his brave men.
In Owari Asakura Yoshikage decides to take no offensive. But the force from Owari only moves in Mino. On mid september, 4000 Asakura troops arrive via sea to Owari, on unidentified ships. After counting what harvest they have gathered, Asakura Yoshikage has a problem. He has more men in arms, then he can support through the year. Now he has to think carefully what to do, before his army starts to grumble before his own eyes.
In Mikawa, the Takeda and Hojo troops march back to Shinano, while Imagawa holds Tokugawa sieged in Okazaki. In September 21st, the Takeda and Hojo forces meet with the Takeda main army, which is facing Uesugi. Trusting their advance in numbers, Takeda Shingen decides to attack. The allied army numbering almost 40000 men launches attack against the Uesugi force which is only half their size. Shingen takes no chances, he launches attacks of similar strength like their opponents all along the Uesugi front, while moving his reserves behind the attacks to brake one part of Uesugi line at the time. In couple hours Uesugi Kenshin is forced to retreat and has to use all his talent avoiding a full rout in his army. Takeda harasses the beaten Uesugi force all the way back to Northern Shinano, where the harassing turns into moitoring of the enemy.
Uesugi is badly mauled and looses some 8000 men, while Takeda and allied losses are less then 3000 men.Clear fact is that cntral Shinano is in complete control of Takeda and Uesugi should be scared if the same thing will happen in Northern Shinano in near future.
In Kanto the situation remains as stalemate. Neither side launches offensive and the situation seems deceptively peaceful.
In North, Oura clan renounces Nanbu clan as their masters and kills or captures all Nanbu troops in their domain. Mogami clears any remaining Nanbu troops from Northern Dewa with Satomi, before the latter joins Date and Satake troops in besieging the Nanbu capital, Mito. The allied army has 5000 Date, 3000 Satomi and 1900 Satake warriors against 2000 Nanbu warriors lead by the Nanbu daimyo, Harumasa. It seems that Nanbu clans remaining days are not numerous, unless something unexpected happens.
I will send the situation reports tomorrow. Please wellcome back two of our players. Ichigo will take over Shimazu and {BHC}AntiWarmanCake88 will resume command of Yamana. Deadline for answers will be Sunday 17th of february and it will hold, so if you have nothing much to order send your orders early preferable rather then late. If you cant make in time, notice about it in the thread before, so the deadline can be adjusted.
Surely u mean against the Amako?Quote:

Open Letter to Asakura Yoshikage
You appear to have trapped yourself in a foreign land and have underestimated the might of Oda and Asai, You cannot sustain more than 15,000 men next season just holding Owari alone, lets hope you annonymous friend has a large supply of Koku for your men.
The Men who held Kaga surprised me ... so few who would fight so hard for a Daiymo of so little worth is astounding, the Samurai of Asakura are to be reckoned with, perhaps they wish to make up for what there Daiymo lacks themselves..
Asai Nagamasa
EDIT: Were all human Kage :smash: i had flu myself last week, it isnt nice, hope you get over it :dizzy2:
Ravie:
Yes, that would be correct. :laugh4:Quote:
Surely u mean against the Amako?
Great chapter Kage, much awaited. I suspected my winning streak would see its end sooner or later.
I assume this means I'm at war with Otomo? That stinks I wasn't planning on this.
OOC:
Ichigo:
Nope we are not at war against eachother, we are at war together as allies.
Once again we find the Asai capable of nothing more than killing thousands of innocents. We hear they rape all of the womenfolk they find within the walls of my people's houses and force the males to watch. Then they slit their throats. They have little in common with men and we pray that someone in the world will take heed of these atrocities.Quote:

Statement from the Lord Amako
Once again the snivelling Mori dogs show their true colours. They knew they could not stand against the honorable men of the Amako so they hitched up their skirts and scuttled home like rats in the night rather than face us in open battle. The only blow they know is the stab in the back. They are not true warriors and a disgrace to the Bushido code. As usual they decieved an ally, leaving the Otomo to face the might of the Amako. At least they stood and fought like men rather than fleeing like prattling women.
I say to all allies of the Mori - look at their record - they have stabbed me in the back after my forces had done most of the fighting and they deserted the Otomo when faced with the prospect of a fight. I say to the Otomo and the Shimazu who do you wish for an ally - a dishonorable coward or a warrior with honor. Join with me and we will crush these dogs who an insult to Bushido. They dare not face my small forces in Gassan Toda, so with a united force they will not stop running until they are up to their necks in the sea. I do not seek money or lands - they can be yours - all I seek is a justified revenge. Only when the banners of the Mori hang from and the severed head of the Mori Lord looks down on the ramparts of Gassan Toda will I sleep easy.
Open Letter to Asakura Yoshikage
This is War Asakura, People Die, Innocents Die, Perhaps you should have thought of this before you invaded Owari.
But please do not hold me accountable for what happened inside Kaga, Oda leads the armies of the north, You only have yourself to blame for provoking Oda and I have no power to stop him, infact i do not wish to, i stand by him but his anger is still raw, unavenged , he wants you dead Asakura and as you can see... it wont be long.
And i've never views Men with swords charging the lines of our men as innocent Asakura.. perhaps this is where you go wrong as a Daiymo and as a Man ... you cant tell the difference between a goat and a Human. I've heard the stories of your habits, so has Japan.
I just hope you can see why when you asked me to choose between yourself and Oda, there was only one sensible option.. I believe there are few Generals in Japan to match Oda, where as there is only one General in Japan which i hold you in higher regard than.. Lord Yamana.
Asai Nagamasa
Open statement:
Lord Ôtomo tends to find needless slander rather uninspiring. However this much is a fact:
Lord Asai has never ordered the slaughter of unarmed men, while it remains a fact that Lord Asakura indeed, has. Unless I am alone together with my ally Shimazu Takahisa to count christians as men.
As your fate draws ever closer, Asakura Yoshikage, I would have expected to see at least some measure of remorse. Nonetheless, you have managed to outdo even my own oppinions of you, which admittedly is quite a feat.
Message to Lord Amako:
Tell me, esteemed Lord. What kind of a man would I be to turn coat and betray my friend and ally, Lord Môri?
Ôtomo Sorin
The Christiansarewere not men.
Esteemed Otomo SorinQuote:

Who is to say if you are not next on his list of allies to betray? We both could weaken our forces fighting each other leaving the Mori cowards to attack the weakened force afterwards. This clan with no honour dares not stand in a true fight like you or I. I have no quarrel with you, I have only attacked you in defence of my capital. Join me and see how an honorable ally acts.
Lord Amako
Again a nice update Kage and I must say you sure manage to keep poor Oda occupied with challenges. But that said I do like to crack hard nuts. :2thumbsup:
Amako Haruhisa,
I assume you realize that as long as the Môri, the Shimazu and the Ôtomo stand united, you will fall, sooner or later.
Divide and conquer. If you split our alliance with false offers, turn us against eachother while strenghtening your own position, you can later pick us off, one by one. With your ally Yamana, you are already strong enough to offer the three of us formidable resistance. You have no need for any of us as allies, you would gain the upper hand by simply isolating Môri to stand alone.
I am not a fool, nor am I one to betray one man for the offers of another. Lord Môri withdrew to his lands to protect his people, and you call him a coward for it. All the while, you were the one who choose to attack defense-less people rather than fighting our armies upfront.
Lord Môri betrayed you, but that has nothing to do with my personal honour. You ask me to stain it by lowering myself to the rank of a mercenary, and you speak of it as honour. At this point I would fight you even if Môri was not involved.
And know this. What you have seen of the Kyûshû hosts up until now has been a token force. My assets have been invested in building projects, but now the harvest has come. By spring your lands will be covered with the banners of our clans. By that time, your people will thank the heavens that noone in our alliance is a ruthless butcher such as yourself,
Ôtomo Sorin
OOC:
Kage, I have sent you the updated map to your mail.
OOC:
Btw Kage, could you do deviation from the normal info PM order to give me the information PM first, so that I have the possibility of seeing it before I have to go back to the barracks tomorrow?
Like Kage said eariler, I am back to resume control of my baby, the Yamana Clan! Let the fun begin again! :beam:

Sadly this war has already degenerated to a state where a peaceful solution is impossible. I hope to be able to repair the damage caused by my occupation at the first possible moment and as a sign of my good will for the people of Echizen, the taxes for the next coming year will be decreased by a quarter to an amount of 11250 koku for the whole province. I will also attempt to persuade the new lord of Kaga, Hatakeyama Yoshitsugu to agree to a similar relief for the subjects of Kaga province. I wish the best for both of the provinces and hopefully under my supervision we can bring back prosperity to the wartorn region.

Lord Oda and Myself have no issue with religion.. so long as you serve us as all other religions do, then you are free to practice what religion you wish.
I invite priests to Echizen to renew the chrisitian influence here and help the christians that have survived the genocide of Asakura to rebuild there lives and practice the religion as they wish.
Asai Nagamasa
Open letter from clan Ôtomo
Lord Asai, Lord Oda, you have my deepest thanks for your show of benevolence, tolerance and wisdom. I will never forget this generous act towards christianity. I will send some of our priests to make sure the christian religion is practiced to its words in your lands, and that your christian subjects will lead peaceful and dutyful lifes.
May you set an example to all other Daimyô,
Ôtomo Sorin
Im sorry but i have to push the deadline for a week forward.I havent had time to send you your info, so im giving you more time for diplomacy.I should get the info sent at least on Friday.

OOC: Well, Kanrei is back and is ready to read and reply to the letters of his fans. :stars: (mixed the cookie, sorry; this is what will happen if the Kanrei fails to reply).
Hey, Kage, I've just voted for you and you are not going to leave this poor Interactive die in the cold night of the winter? :beam:
Joking aside. I'm back and I hope this Interactive will be soon rolling. If there is any delayal it's normal... Take your time Kage...
P.S. Happy birthday, King Kurt.

Back in the game:
The winter is coming and the season is beautiful. We think only barbarian can stay unmoved by the change of the seasons. But the winter is also the season of death so we will remember all who died in these difficult times in Nippon. We will pray to the Gods better times to come for Nippon. For the winter is also the season of the beginning.
Miyoshi Chokei, Kanrei
Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, i will pm you the information as soon as i have little time in my hands.The IH is not definitely dying.My hands are just bit tied with real life and Ran No Jidai mod.Everybody will get their information during the next couple days.:smash:

But it will be attached to my body, and I shall stand alongside Lord Otomo and Lord Shimazu while I view MY castle from the top of MY keep.

Mori Motonari
And concerning Lord Otomo's faith, although we of the Mori clan are devout Buddhists, we shall make no effort to suppress Christianity. The people are free to practice it as they like within my lands. There is a church in Koriyama Castle, alongside a Buddhist monestary that all men are free to use as they like.
So says Mori Motonari
