I saw the ashigaru spearmen charge with their swords and pulling out swords for the melee... And my heart just dropped man.
Right then and there, my dreams were crushed. The hope that I would at least have one thing to do on the battlefield that would make this feel like an actual sengoku jidai experience... And the yari ashigaru pulled out their swords...

*sigh*

Alright. Ok.
Only one thing left to do now; hope for moddability.
