Shogun has always been my favourite

once you have tried all the campaigns that came supplied i suggest you grab some of the extra campaigns available for download from the Org

and I hate to plug my own work but Iron Man (historical edition) remains my absolute favourite campaign
:-)
Try playing Iron Man as aggressively as possible (and on hard setting) for maximum effect - it will have you biting your nails with the intense tension while waiting for the AI to make it's moves...
(you will be heavily outnumbered so often you will soon have Elite Battle Hardened Yari Ashigaru capable of withstanding almost anything...)



and did i mention Atmospheric Ambience?
NOTHING beats the sheer terror af facing a Takeda cavalry charge in pea-soup fog - or watching yari cavalry comes streaming out of the mist BEHIND your lines...
The ability to outmanouver using the weather and terrain in Shogun has never been matched by MTW or RTW
(ask Gregoshi about that - remember the charge into your rear by my Nagi Cav Gregoshi?)

Another thing Shogun was very good at (and MTW was dismal at) was detatchments - if a group of your units begin the battle a distance away from your General they are not affected by his demise...
Many is the time opponents have thought me beaten when my General and the bulk of my army fled the field only to find my heavily armoured and highly experienced detatchemnt take them apart from the rear...
Some around here can tell you how hard it is to fight an opponent who fields not one army of 16 units, but two armies of 8 - which group is the decoy??
(If you see him around ask Yabusama about that little trick)


Supporting units providing decent morale bonus's is another thing that MTW seems to have "lost" in the translation - keep your army together in Shogun and it will be harder to break,
uncommited yari cav on each flank and your gunners or archers right up behind the main mellee will do wonders...
