Simple Tactics for Simple Folk

[d1ng0d0g]

I mostly play against the AI so the tactic described will likely not work against humans, but against the AI it has been quite solid. So solid it is becoming a little boring.

The most basic version of the tactic requires 4 levy spearmen and 4 levy infantry. The spearmen at the center, the levy infantry split up at the flanks. Defending or attacking the tactic is mostly the same. Spearmen engage, guns go into flanking mode.

Once upgraded to line infantry and Yari Kachi, this formation becomes very strong.

Casualties can be high, but taking the increased recovery rate option for a general can take care of that. I even had a general with a 2x a 5% recovery rate retainer, who at that point became my field hospital.

I thought it would be nice if other people shared their simple tactics. (That are not total abuses of flaws in the AI). Requirements. Tactic should be capable to be done with 10 units or less. And the units involved should be from the lowest two tiers of a building.
