Mongol Invasion!
Remember, this was on Hard setting, not Expert, so it was perhaps a bit easier than it would have been. With the extra morale boost, the Mongols might not have routed so easily in some of the battles.
OTOH, I made some strategical mistakes that made things more difficult. Basically, no matter what level you play at.....you cannot prevent the landings. Set up what I would term 'control points' from which to send out reinforcements. I chose Aki in southern Honshu, and Satsuma on Kyushu. I've seen strategies that involve sending everything that's already sitting on ports to Hizen the first turn, but if you lose that battle, you lose all the troops you just sent because you cannot defend both Hizen and Chikugo, and Chikuzen is lost on the first turn.
Still, on my prior attempts, I was constantly losing at Normal setting so I guess I've made some progress in tactics
Perhaps next up will be one of the historical campaigns. Several of them are harder than anything presented in the regular camps.....the AI has always mopped the battlefield with my armies on previous attempts except the Oda campaign that starts with the Battle of Okehazama............
