Like patdj and as I've mentioned above, I have now started an Imagawa campaign. So far it's going slow though I've trained up some Geisha to avoid a repeat of last time. My strategy is to hold both the east and west as long as possible, to avoid the linear and predictable west to east sweep pattern. So far I've converted to christian and have begun large scale teppo production. I managed to assassinate Lord Oda in Owari, wiping them out, with the view to expanding there. He was holed up there and not really making much progress. This did not go as planned as his forces joined the Shimazu and they are quite sizeable. Deciding that it was time I went to war with him and invaded Bungo.
