Spring
We start building improved farmland to Sagami. We also attack Kozuke from Musashi, but there's so many enemies I call off the attack. Another attack from Shimosa to Shimotsuke with one(1) Cavalry Archer is a success as the enemy retreats and we take the province without a fight.
In the west Lord Mori finally attacks Aki and doesn't call it off. It'll the first larger scale battle of the campaign, and pretty vital to the success of the campaign.
Aki defense
I forgot to grab screenshots from the set-up phase, so you'll have to imagine it: This is taken from behind the enemy after my CA have totally flanked them and are going for their general. You can see the whole enemy army here, while my own is set up on a hill in front of them. The banners are barely visible. There's one unit of SA and one unit of YS visible on the hill, while two YS units are hiding in the forest on the left. The plan was simple: Harass them with CA, let the archers shoot at them and when they get close charge down the center while simultaneously flanking right.
Here I've already initiated the flanking movement. In the background my CA are still battling the general's unit
The enemy's right flank(from my pov) quickly crumbles and we start enveloping his forces in the middle
Meanwhile I forgot to babysit the CA and they manage to get wiped out by YS.
What would have been crushing victory if I hadn't screwed up with the CA. Well, the stats still look pretty nice
Summer
Mori again attacks Aki but calls it off.
Meanwhile I really have to do something about the loyality problems.
Autumn
An Oda-clan emissary arrives proposing an alliance. I immediately accept as they have common borders with pretty much all the clans I'm at war with. This should help ease up the pressure a bit.
Winter
We start building an armoury to Aki and a castle to Hitachi to speed up troop training.
