Battle Task Four

I know it's not quite time for the deadline on Prepare for Battle, but all of the battle's have been chosen. One hasn't quite been confirmed, but since the other one is and there's only two... it's what has to be done anyway. 

Here is a list of who is attacking who:

Kyou Asai is attacking Hirotei Imagawa

Ren Sanada is attacking Naoki Hojo

Here then, is your fourth battle task:

If you're attacking, you're trying to siege an enemy clan's fort. The only way inside is through tunnels, which are guarded by your enemy clan's defenses. You must choose one of the defenses and then you can choose to buy your own helping unit to fight against them.

- Horsemen (yes the tunnels are large enough for horses to ride through).

- Ninja

- Ronin (vary in weapons)

If you're defending, then you must protect the tunnels and stop the enemy clan from sneaking inside at all costs. You must choose a unit that will be attacking you (from the above list) and then you can buy a helping unit:

- Firearms (be sure to make them historically accurate or you will score low)

- Ninja

- Ronin (vary in weapons)

Remember this is the final battle task where you can buy helping units!

Each unit costs 500 gold if you're buying them for yourself. Even if your enemy doesn't use a unit, you must still have your enemy have one for your entry. 

Failing to include all the proper elements of this task, will factor into who wins or loses. Remember if you use, it's an AUTOMATIC ELIMINATION. Pay attention to who you're fighting and write the BEST entries you ever have because this is the ENTIRES TO SAVE YOUR LIVES. EVERY ONE OF YOU HERE IS AT RISK. 

You may not state who wins or loses and you cannot imply one way or another. 

Location: Mountainous Range (mostly the tunnels though)

Due date: 

November 13th. This gives you one week. 

Word Count:

2,000

Penalties:

Hirotei, you have a word count of 1,250

Ren, you didn't give me your supplies information, so you have a quicker deadline. November 10th. 

Those of you who score in 4th and 5th place:

If you're attacking, then your enemy must flood the tunnels with most of your men still trapped inside, preventing you from sieging the castle. 

If you're defending, then your units deflect to your enemies side, giving you no defense against a two units now, instead of one. 

Those of you who scored in 3rd place:

Your units flee, giving you no defense against your enemy. 

Awards: 

Those of you who scored in 1st place:

Your enemy's unit has deflect to your side, giving you two units and leaving them with none. 

Let the battle's begin. I don't want to lose any of you so write your very best! 

Good luck.
