Shimazu invades Owari with his 2600 men army, stationed in Ise (I saw that later) and tries to defend Ise with a garrison. This blocked my major attack on him, but since the ND came by sea they still attack.
First I thought "Crap! All the year without attacking, and then!?". But, giving it another look: if my No Dachi win in Ise and I defeat his attack at the river, the whole army is trapped and gone. Concluding, this could have been his worst move, ever.

That's why I'm asking. This time I was attacking and he was attacking and it ended in a defense for me.


Thanks for the answers.


I'll now start another turn. Don't have much time these days so I'll probably only do half a year.
