Yeah, I'm betting you can sort it out pretty easily, in some ways it's easier in fact. Take realm divide, what was once quite a jarring experience you needed to prepare for, is now really just the imperial side vs the shogunate side facing off, something that is taking place most of the campaign already anyway.

As for guns instead of sharp pointy things, that's certainly easy enough to adapt to as well, just empire meets the east. Get a bit of city development going so your research doesn't get stopped by modernization (also a change btw you should take note of) and once you have line infantry and some 2nd level canons, you can pretty much sweep the map. I would take note that modernization does lead to some unrest you'll need to keep an eye on. The navies of opposing clans are more active, so you can't just ignore your naval development, especially given out aggressive the AI can sometimes be about raiding trade and off-shore bombardment.

But all in all, if you've been through campaigns in Shogun 2, I don't expect you'll have any difficulty at all with FOTS. Enjoy!
