It was Samurai wars. It just seemed that whenever the enemy got really close (the enemy as yari samurai) that around 10 yari samurai were killed with each volley. I would say they were around a inch and a half away on the screen. One thing I do love about the game is how, when the enemy is put in impossible situations or they are getting slaughtered, a mass rout occurs. 10x more realistic than the demi god heroics in MTW.
