I was playing in campaign mode last night and sent in forces to take a particularly tempting ronin province. When I clicked the end turn icon, I found that a rival Daimyo (with whom I was at war) had designs on the same province and sent in waves of his own troops. I whipped the rival, who had curiously detached 1/4 of his troops to attack the rebels, then went on to throw the defenders, and three units of reinforcements off the map. I thought this was it until, Damned if I know where they came from, but the rebels sent in about 350 fresh troops en mass. My too tired to spit guys were crushed in short order.
I'd saved the game beforehand and thought such a cool coincidence would be fun to try again. This time I didn't engage the rival Daimyo, and marched my troops to the other side of the map to wait until he shot his wad. This was a poor strategic choice. The rival apparently had the same idea and just sat there for the duration, doing nothing save sending in a few cavalry archers to harass the defenders. With about ten minutes to spare and being tired of waiting I drove off most of the defenders, hoping this would spark the other enemy's offensive, but it didn't. The clock ran out, and at the end of the turn we both lost out. I'll Try it again tonight just to see what happens. Any suggestions guys?
