Dip 55: Hagakure Diplomacy Spring 1573 Results

"In the judgement of the elders, a samurai's obstinacy should be excessive. A thing done with moderation may later be judged to be insufficient. I have heard that when one thinks he has gone too far, he will not have erred. This sort of rule should not be forgotten."
-----Tsunetomo, Yamamoto "Hagakure, Book of the Samurai"

Some patterns are beginning to develop and some powers are gaining dominance. In the north, Takeda's future looks very bleak as the combined Hojo-Uesugi forces wreak havoc. In the centre, Oda is pushing hard against the retreating Clan Asakura and is building up an impressive power base. In the south, there is only one power to watch, Shimazu, which looks to have turned Mori's flank and threatens to annihilate the whole clan. It's trunign into a really interesting game.
