I have found a lot more people with highly mobile armies now. Lots of bow cav, mounted gunners etc. Finding them really tough to deal with.

Whats the secret to getting the most out of bow samis though, my rank 5s usually end a battle with less than 30 kills which is a wast of koku.

@Rav3nNZX Their higher armor make them a good anti-bow monk unit, get them a range upgrade for sure to do this effectively. People who really push the bow advantage use bow monks 9/10 times and they're weak to other archers. Be sure to get whistling arrows as a well place WA volley right before the liens clash can give a serious boost to your infantry.

I prefer my yari ash to yari sams, 2 high vets yari ash, 1-2 vanilla. The spear wall is awesome, I use vanillas as fodder and switch with my vets before melee. Sometimes get ~200 kills with vet yari ash.

I also do this to force my opponent to have a cav fight, where I usually ambush or win due to my bow gen. This is my way of controlling the field, Make an army which forces my opponent to act in a certain way, dangle my bow gen out as bait, he has to take it, or give my gen 200+ kills :D

@sunil237 A yari ashigaru spear wall is a tough thing to deal with. I personally find it more rewarding to have a mobile anti-cav unit like speed upgraded yari sams. It helps that for some reason I suck with yari ashigaru though lol

Ahh, I just ran into another all cav army... all melee this time. What's up lvl 9 generals bringing these armies? A charge of 6 katanas instantly routed any spears I used to defend... Is there any way to beat these?

Hmm I just ran into a player who brought about 6 or 7 bow and ranged calvary and the rest (about 6) level 9 katana calvary. does anyone have a clue as to how to beat this? I had 3 monk cav and had no way of catching his general, and he would retreat anytime I brought up spears or naginatas, and just destroy me with arrows. So frustrating!

Nice battle

[sunil237]

@fishsandwichpatrol Whislting arrow is really good, as in it drops stats like crazy, but hard to use it right with actual bows. I find it difficult enough to use with my general and he can get to the side of the army.

@Rav3nNZX Just did a 2v2 against people who did this, and the best counter without royally screwing yourself in melee is having just enough yari + nagi attendants, have at least 1 extended range bow monk or daikyu, deny them any archery dojo if their is one, and watch your flanks and back. Yari Cav, Nagi Cav, and Great Guard are pluses.
