After figthing a grueling defence of a bridge against Takeda early in my "hard" campaign as Hojo...I was left with a few scraps of units. Of note was the 5 YA who now had honor of 4.

Well, the ememy daimyo was killed on that bridge, so they went ronin.

A few turns later, I was invading the province they retreated into...and threw that YA unit into the invasion "for the hell of it". Well, I was glad that I did.

I was not prepared for his 37 remaining CA troops, as I had no cavalry...so when they started pelting my infantry, I sent my 5 YA after them...

And for the rest of the battle, the 37 CA were neutralized, skirmishing with a unit of 5 inferior infantry. In the mean time, I wiped out the other units on the field. I lost one of the YA, and killed none of the CA, but they retreated into oblivion anyway.

I just found it comical to see all these horsemen retreating from a handful of peasants. And when 4 of them survived, I was amazed. Apparently the 4 honour was enough to keep them from routing...

Anyway, long post, sorry...
