I'm rooting for Chisato to have a long and storied career!

Yes, that's a long bet. She's probably going to die to the first granary she meets.

Grand strategy unfortunately doesn't benefit as much from maths as tactics do, other than logistics which you can do with a block of wood and an inky horse bit.

You can, but logistics would gain ridiculously from not needing an entire room full of dudes with abacuses to handle the calculations for your 4th quarter spending projections.

That last samurai retainer made a gloriously honorable last stand! Honorable- and futile. :unsmigghh:

We lost a battle last LP. I hope we didn't lose a ninja. Be safe, Chisato. :ohdear:

I'd rather lose a battle than lose Chisato! :ohdear: I really like Shalcar's ninja stories.

Wow, navel battles look pretty cool. I hope we get to see a larger one.

Yeah. The water and fog are pretty impressive, as are all the little mans on the ship.

All should fear the shadowy prowess of Chisato! Truly, she is the left hand of the Hattori clan!

Also, Taketoshi is a beast.

Man, I do not want to be the Ikko Ikki right now, especially with Yasunaga filled with thoughts of vengeance coming after them soon.

We have Yasunaga. We have Taketoshi. We have Chisato. What use do we have for fear?

"You are right about that!" Yasunaga laughed. "They never put all this gore in the tapestries."
"I wonder why that is, my Lord?" questioned the bodyguard. "Perhaps it would scare children and delicate ladies."
"I'm sure the tapestry makers are just bad at weaving gore" replied Yasunaga. "Off with you, before the men talk about you being my mother!"

I particularly liked this exchange. Quite droll. :golfclap:

That was, indeed, a roflstomp. You've doubled the size of your navy and annihilated an army in a turn.

I love that line in the most recent update from Taketoshi's speech. "Although I know I am not considered a warrior..." Uh, who exactly is that, Taketoshi? Because you're Rank 8 and a murder machine. :allears:

I think he's just being grossly underspoken. "Me? A soldier? Goodness no, I'm just a good Hattori boy that likes to write a bit. I don't know anything about this war business, but given that we have a two-to-one advantage and they don't have a single Hattori soldier on their side, I think we can safely say that all this unpleasantness will be over with in time for tea. So, helmets on lads, let's go stab them before they stab us!" Exunt stage left, slaying a dozen Chokosabe soldiers as he goes

That was inspiring. Good work!

I am looking forward to the twin missions of Tamashige and Nakasada. Two men could not be more different, but they both serve the Hattori.

So in this situation, would it be worth it to kick off Realm Divide by attacking Kyoto? It does seem like the natural first target either way.

It would, if nothing else, actually make Realm Divide make some sort of narrative sense for once.

Who needs extra agents when you have Chisato? Foe of swordsmen, bane of generals, slayer of granaries! :black101:

Basically, when you do commit such troops, you are "res ad triarios venit" anyway. :v:

How many ships in that fleet are captured now? Does your admiral just bring extra flags with him assuming that every little trip out will result in him getting a few more ships for the clan? By this point he should.

The Hattori Admiral is such a goddamn man he just stared at the enemy flags, and they turned black out of respect. :911:

I had forgotten entirely that ninjas had grenades, so when the volley of grenades went out I giggled like a schoolchild. A most valorious victory, Shalcar. :golfclap:

I always wonder what possible expenditures agents make when tasked to do something simple like oratory or setting a building on fire, to cost a hundred koku?

Ninja don't work for free, yo. Ninja got to gets paid, son. :whatup:
