I know that hill(From my campaign story in one of the threads linked above).......................
Something to the Hojo advantage is that you can be pretty sure where the Mongols will land.....the western provinces of Kyushu, and Honshu. You cannot prevent them, and will spend the early part of the campaign simply reacting to them.
Use/create centers of resistance and create a net of ports that allow you to shift your troops quickly to contain the landings. I found Aki to be a good place for this, as well as Satsuma. Some players make a stand in Hizen. I chose not to in my campaign because if you lose that battle, the whole of Kyushu is as good as lost.
Don't be afraid to be coldly calculating. You must inflict heavy casualties on the Mongols even if it means sacrificing an entire army to do so (as long as you can follow up a defeat with a quick counter-attack that finishes them). Do this especially in bridge provinces, where you have a high probability at causing casualties.
And as has already been mentioned, quantity is more important than quality here. That shouldn't mean that you can't reserve a well-led, experienced army for the tough battles, but early on, don't expect many survivors
And it goes without saying, use your Daimyo well......he's verrrry important for this campaign.
Yeah.......Mongol Light Cavalry, then more Mongol Light Cavalry, and then even more Mongol Light Cavalry..........By that, do you mean to say they use the same tactics on the battlefield?
They move quickly into shooting range, pepper the hell out of you, and quickly move out of range if your spears (or anything else) get too close. And if you over-extend, they'll turn and charge you
I had a good example of that in my camp....and I lost a 4-star general (and heir) in the process![]()
