Forty Seven. Observe the Enemy's Formation Carefully or Regret

"I understand. They say the best generals crave to meet a good opponent, because they are tired of winning."
"Actually I am not tired of winning. But still, it will be a nice thing to say that we won our victory the hard way. Isn't it?"
"Let's do it then. (with the cost of hundreds of extra Ikko soldiers). Draw out the Bow units next, we prepare for the final clash!"
"Let's do this one for Japan! "

Note: Actually the real reason for not drawing out the middle of Naginata is that I COMPLETELY MISSED IT. What an embarrassment. And when I realized it was there BEFORE it is too late, I got lazy, thinking this wouldn't make a big difference.

Why not a big difference? If this middle Naginata was drawn out, Oda would not replace it with a Yari unit, though. The "Misplaced Katana" role is fulfilled only by a Katana or a Naginata. So Oda would turn into a "Bow First" formation. But at least I would be able to work on their side to draw out one more Yari unit. So 2 units is not a big difference out of 25. Yeah maybe I could work on their Yari Cavalry. I admit I really got lazy.
