From The Chikubasho:

In this world of uncertainty, ours should be a path of discipline.

The two halves of the map differ wildly in Fall 1574. In the north, the combined forces of the Asakura, Oda and Hojo continue to frustrate the aims of the Takeda clan - resulting in no movement except along the peripheries of water. In the south, however, the Shimazu defence crumbles in the face of the Mori onslaught - turning more than half of the green centers a Mori blue.

Two retreats were required - one an automatic disband and the other having only one place to go, so I took the liberty. The Shimazu fleet in Satsuma was dislodged and disbanded. A little luckier, the Shimazu army in Bungo was auto-retreated to Hyuga. However, if OTB is preferred by the Shimazu please just let me know.

Winter builds are fairly simple with the Takeda, Shimazu and Mori owing adjustments. We'll set the Winter 1574 deadline for Friday, November 16th (11:59 PM GMT). As always, please just drop me a line if you spot an error.

Cheers guys,

Trout
