it appears so to me.  Very impressed by Garry's tenacity in this game, and the reversal of his fortunes.  In all the games of Sengoku stretching back to 2000, I have never seen Asakura get pinched in the middle and negotiate their way back to contender status like that...in every other occasion, either they blitzed north or south successfully, or they were eliminated. 
 
So much for the old school of thought

Well folks I only got to cover for about 3 years, witness the extinction of the Oda and the last few neutrals, and here we call it a draw!  Hardly equal tho, for the Uesuegi and Hojo are willing to bow their heads to the overpowering forces that were the Asakura, Chokosabe, and Mori.  EOG's to follow from all I'm sure!  Of particular interest is that for both abandons in this game, the replacements made it clear to the end, one even sharing in the draw. 
 
Ben when you get a moment pls review the game page for accuracy, then we'll post the finals.
Enjoy,
