From the Twenty-One Precepts of Hojo Soun:

Walk stealthily where still under the arch of heavan.

-----------------------------

The Tsunami waves rise along the coastlines of Japan, as do the currents and eddies on the island itself. The Takeda decimate the Hojo in the north-east and manage to thwart the Asakura plans at the same time. However, the Oda do take their pound of flesh in Noto. Fleets take to the seas to the south and to the north, and in Tosa, the occupying Shimazu retainers tear down the last Chosokabe banners...

My thanks to Mike for coming in to play out the Chosokabe position. It was a difficult role - but valiantly played. =)

Onwards we move, to Winter 1573. All powers have at least one adjustment to make. Deadline will be set for Monday, November 5th (11:59 PM GMT.) As always, please let me know if you spot any adjudiation errors.

And a point of useless trivia.. Up until this adjudication, all subject headers have been coming from the soundtrack of the Last Samurai. Starting with this adjudication, I've spun up a different CD.

Cheers all!
