The campaign map overview will have to wait for a bit as I forgot I was a few years ahead of this thread in the game. I'll post one as soon as I continue playing, but now I need to bring this thread up to date

Spring
The Buddhist Temple in Kaga is ready, so we immediately start training Warrior Monks at full bore. We secured another temple when we took Yamashiro, so we'll also dedicate that province for monk training. On the home front we start building a Swordsmith in Kaga. We also attack the rebel held province of Ise, and our good friend Lord Mori sends some of his forces to help. Judging by troop movements Mori is battling Shimazu in one of the nearby provinces, so it's almost time to show what kind of allies we are. If our emissary, who's been traveling all over Shimazu areas for the past few years, only managed to find the lord himself!
Attack on Ise
The enemy sets up on top of a small rise and sends one unit of archers to the front. A separated unit of archers + cavalry boring down on them == massacre. Mori sent only a bunch of archers and maybe one Yari Ashigaru, ie. nothing very useful. We wait for them to advance and take the majority of enemy arrows before proceeding ourselves.
Ah the brave Mori...
A clear victory with most of the enemy forces taken out
Summer
Our emissary finally finds Lord Shimazu, who agrees to ally with us. We immediately start shuffling around our forces a bit for a major assault on Mori. Mori is in his turn having rebel problems thanks to our Shinobis.
