    Captain Jaku Subalo: "Admiral Yorinobu! From now on I will be your second-in-command in naval battles. My name is Jaku Subalo."
    Yorinobu: "I like your pirate name!"
    Jaku: "(In style) You forget one very important thing mate, I am captain Jaku Subalo."
    Yorinobu: "... Nice. So Jaku, what can you teach me about piracy, I mean naval battles?"
    Jaku: "First, we need to know that the enemy will always come to us under any circumstance."
    Yorinobu: "That's silly."
    Jaku: "A little. But they tend to find the gaps in our formation and sails behind us, probably in an attempt to surround us."
    Yorinobu: "I see."
    Jaku: "So that gives us lots of potential ideas we can experiment one by one."
    Yorinobu: "Good. So what's our ultimate goal in naval battles?"
    Jaku: "Capture or sink every single ship, letting none escape."
    Yorinobu: "Great! OK here is an idea. If I line up my Medium Bune in a flat line, but leave spaces in between, wouldn't Imagawa's trade ship inevitably travel through the gaps between our ships... then we can start boarding them?"
    Jaku: "Let's try it out!"



    Yorinobu: "They get close! Board now! Go go go! Darn, Why are you not going?"
    Jaku: "Admiral, I am afraid your method failed. The Imagawa fleet passed through your gap and is now at our back."
    Yorinobu: "So what should we do?"
    Jaku: "Just break up from the formation and capture it!"

    Yorinobu: "Darn, what a chaos. The Imagawa fleet were everywhere, and we broke up our formation to board random targets..."
    Jaku: "But since they are so weak and slow... we still managed to capture all of them! We won!"
    Sailors: "Yee-Yee-Oh!"

    Yorinobu: "My trap idea did not pan out. Any suggestions, Jaku?"



    Jaku: "I actually like your idea. All we want is to capture enemy ships, so they do not get to flee. So any tactics that focuses on "capture them as soon as possible" is a good one. But Imagawa's fleet was a little too fast, and you issued the board command a little too slow..."
    Yorinobu: "I can issue the board command sooner next time, but Imagawa's fleet was already the slowest possible - they are trade ships!"
    Jaku: "So we need some thing to really slow them down..."

    Takakage: "Father, Sagara and Ito have finally started to fight. Ito foolishly kept bumping its one full stack into Sagara's two stacks - inside Sagara's territory. It looks like Sagara is going to win this one."
    Motonari: "Hm... is Sagara smart enough to counterattack? Maybe not."
    Takakage: "If they are stuck, we are stuck, too."
    Motonari: "Indeed. Now our monks have arrived to preach in Bungo - our army can move out! Let's interfere and break this stupid stalemate!"



    Takakage: "So which side are we on?"
    Motonari: "Sagara is winning, so we have to help Ito. They will certainly pay us to fight Sagara."
    Takakage: "And just before that, Sagara would pay us for infinite military access. Wow, 5080 koku! And we already sold 5 turns for almost 1000 koku last season."
    Motonari: "That's so mean, but I like it!"

    Takakage: "And Ito pays 1970 koku for declaring war on Sagara!"
    Motonari: "Good! Let's fight a good one!"

    Takakage: "Father, Ito's damaged full-stack joined the battle as expected."
    Motonari: "Good. You don't get this kind of help very often. Let's see how the battle plays out!"
    Takakage: "It is going to be an easy victory. No nap?"
    Motonari: "We want to deplete Ito's army in this battle as well. Better see it ourselves."
    Takakage: "Sure!"

    Takakage: "Father, Ito's daimyo and his son are chickens. They sat in the back and let their soldiers attack the castle..."
    Motonari: "That's only slightly better than throwing themselves to the spears. Is there anyway to take a closer look?"

    Takakage: "Our ninja already opened the gates for them, and they still chose to climb the walls!"
    Motonari: "I don't get it..."

    Takakage: "Everything is going well... hey wait a second, father, there is some Sagara Light Cavalry coming your way!"
    Motonari: "Nope. I don't see anything."
    Takakage: "They are coming! At least the replay shows they are coming..."



    Takakage: "Watch out! Our general is in grave danger, my lord! Your bodyguards are dying!"
    Motonari: "Nope. Nothing came. We finished the battle without losing a single bodyguard."
    Takakage: "What the... is this the wrong replay?"
    maltz: "This is the right replay."
    Motonari: "... so... hm..."
    Takakage: "Er..."

    Note: The faulty replay is a known issue when reinforcements are involved. So we will have to cover the battle with words. Please use your imagination.

    Takakage: "Father, Ito's soldiers were killed off at the bottom of the wall. They failed."
    Motonari: "Not surprising. But they did good works for us. Sagara's defenders are weakened, and they have much less arrows than us."

    - Please imagine: Ito soldiers were defeated by Sagara defenders and were routing off the field. -

    Takakge: "Look, the Sagara reinforcement have arrived."
    Motonari: "And we are very well prepared for it. Let's finish them!"

    - Please imagine: Sagara's weak reinforcement were slaughtered by Mori army. -

    Takakge: "No more reinforcement. Now what do we do?"
    Motonari: "If we want to minimize casualty, we can move up our Bow Ashigaru one by one and shoot their melee units. But that's very time consuming."
    Takakage: "Yeah. This kind of micro-managing is only required in the beginning. Let's do the macro-managing."
    Motonari: "So we storm the castle all together!"

    - Please imagine: Mori's army split into three, one for each opened gate. -

    Motonari: "Bow Ashigaru in loose formation - march forward and shoot!"
    Takakage: "After Heaven and Earth we have so many arrows - certainly we can outlast them."

    - Please imagine: Mori's Bow Ashigaru march forward and start firing at defenders inside the castle. -

    Motonari: "The west gate bow units are under return fire, but the east gates are lightly defended. Yari Asghiaru on the east gate - charge into the castle!"
    Takakage: "Sagara's melee units swarmed to east gate! Now left gate is undefended!"
    Motonari: "Yari Asshigaru outside the south gate, charge!"

    - Please imagine: Mori's Yari Ashigaru started to enter the castle. Some of them met heavy resistance. -

    Takakage: "Sagara's Bow Ashigaru in west gate run out of arrows! No one is defending west gate!"
    Motonari: "Yari Asshigaru outside the west gate, charge in and take the town center! Hold it at all cost!"

    - Please imagine: Mori's Yari Ashigaru engaged in fierce fighting in east and south gate, while those entering from the west gate successfully occupied the undefended the town center. Some Sagara units returned to defended, but it was too late. The Count down clock goes... 3 - 2 - 1 - 0... injury time... Victory! -

    Takakage: "That was a good fight! Can't forget how silly those Ito soldiers when they rushed up the wall when the gate was wide open 20 steps from them."
    Motonari: "Sigh. Their commander is not much better thatn that. They just sat there and did nothing after their men fled. Ito lost almost all of their men from gross incompetence."

    Yorinobu: "General Motoharu, be careful, the Hatakeyama clan just shipped a full stack army to this area."
    Motoharu: "Yeah it scared me, too. But they landed in Miyoshi clan's Awaji island. The two clans are enemies."
    Yorinobu: "That's good. Why don't Hatakeyama just build a Bow Kobaya in Settsu and ship a full stack from there? That's much faster than shipping all the way from the northeast."
    Motoharu: "My father would say, would you prefer to fight a genius or a moron?"
    Yorinobu: "...ok. Let's just keep our mouth shut."
    Motoharu: "But once Hatakeyama or Chosokabe defeat Miyoshi, they would both run out of enemies. Maybe we need to do something so they do not turn onto Mori at the same time..."

    Takakage: "Father, it is checkmate for Ito. Rebels in range, and all their mobile armies and recruiting castles are sabotaged. They can only watch the rebels taking both their castles."
    Motonari: "Good job. Our work in Kyushu is almost complete! But we have a lot of diplomatic work after this. The risky invasion on Imagawa, the manuever between Chosokabe and Hatakeyama, and the breaking up of the Takeda-Hojo super alliance... We have to plan carefully."
    Takakage: "Certainly!"



    This concludes chapter 6 of our story.
