This question is really a result of the 'UNIT COSTS' thread in the Editing forum.
How realistic are the abilities of Ashigaru in the game?
In particular, is there any kind of historical precedent for, say, honour 9 Yari Ashigaru beating honour 2 Yari Samurai. It has been suggested in the other thread that this is impossible, that Ashigaru could never beat Samurai troops.
Also, were arquebus-equipped soldiers actually less expensive than archers (including costs of Samurai training as well as equipment)?
A proper historical viewpoint on this might help to settle our argument
