Sengoku Jidai tournament 2018 - Round Two

[ahuyton]

So, with Kiwiwarlord's team taking a substantial lead it is time to launch Round Two. This will be exactly the same format as Round One but with the sides reversed. So Kiwiwarlord and his team play with Ikko-Ikki and LFDLM and his team play with Uesugi.

Whoever is in the mood sets up the game, but in case of confusion or delay could LFDLM's team please make sure that games are underway.

As a reminder the updated rules are below.

Have fun

Adjudication

If needed, I will decide as neutrally as possible. Where it affects the outcome of the tournament or a game, I will ask a neutral to intervene and decide. Hopefully this will not be necessary.

Deadline 31 October?

Deadline 31 October?

For finishing the games. Is that too much? I don't want to pressurise people.

[w_michael]

That deadline should be fine. The text said September 30th, so I wanted to clarify. May we have a team score total after round one?

EDIT: My mistake. I only read the round one deadline.

[w_michael]

Wow, the Uesugi have so many options! It is so hard to choose.

As in the previous round, I am playing the same army composition for each challenge before viewing the battlefield.

[sillygoy]

sillygoy's 20,291 Ikko Ikki (18%) defeat LFDLM's 12,319 Uesugi (49%).

Very intense match full of mindgames thanks to hills and forests that obscured vision. LFDLM was an honorable opponent as always. GG!

[KiwiWarlord]

Well done Sillygoy, you are giving your teammates much confidence.

[ahuyton]

Well done Sillygoy, you are giving your teammates much confidence.

He is much too good

[sillygoy]

You honor me, my lords. But you know that I only do my duty for the people and for Buddha!

[sillygoy]

sillygoy's 21,332 Ikko Ikki (9%) defeat w_michael's 15,424 Uesugi (48%)

Mindgames were again insane in this match, owing to very interesting terrain given to us by the map generator. The focal point of the match was a patch of rough terrain in the middle of a deep stream cutting through the center of the map where much of the fighting was done. Good game!

[sillygoy]

sillygoy's 19,655 Ikko Ikki (35%) defeat GDod's 14,939 Uesugi (70%)

Very bloody and hard-fought match, with thousands of casualties on both sides. Overeager troops getting flank-charged abounded in this one. GG!

[KiwiWarlord]

sillygoy's 19,655 Ikko Ikki (35%) defeat GDod's 14,939 Uesugi (70%)
sillygoy's 21,332 Ikko Ikki (9%) defeat w_michael's 15,424 Uesugi (48%)

Bravo that man

[sillygoy]

sillygoy's 19,894 Ikko Ikki (5%) defeat ahuyton's 11,316 Uesugi (44%)

This round, ahuyton spent lots of points on cavalry and yumi samurai. This panicked me early on, making me dissolve my neat checkerboard for something that would better withstand getting pelted at range. Perhaps it was this initial disorganization that encouraged ahuyton to move forward aggressively and engage me in rough terrain. GG mate.
