Monks and their supporters gather to defend a temple and shrine ...
Clan Monogoto forces have reached the nearby village ...
Clan Tidamatsu forces arrive to support the monks and locals....
Clan Monogoto forces have crossed the river and deployed ...
The monks and Clan Tidamatsu forces finish their deployment ...
Clan Monogoto forces start to advance...
The Monks & Clan Tidamatsu forces start to move forward to confront the opposition ....
The two sides approach each other (into musket range ...)
Both sides takes some casualties from fire ...
One of Clan Monogoto's ashigaru teppo units fails it's morale test and falls back...
On the other flank the levy teppo fall back after exchanging musket fire ...
The Clan Monogoto spear units continue their advance supported by samurai ....
Clan Tidamatsu mounted samurai make their move ...
One of clan Monogoto's advancing spear units flinch under musket fire and fall back through the supporting samurai unit...
The clan Tidamatsu mounted samurai charge into an ashigaru teppo unit...
which turns tail and runs ...
the mounted samurai carry on into an ashigaru short spear unit ....
sensing they have a opportunity, the Monks and levy advance towards the opposition whose advance has stalled....
The clan Tidamatsu mounted samurai make short work of the ashigaru ....
and carry on into the Monogoto mounted samurai ...
The levy charge into the samurai to their front ....
The clan Monogoto mounted samurai lose their nerve and run ....
Clan Monogoto's remaining troops lose their resolve and collapse under pressure ...
A group of clan Monogoto samurai make a last stand .....
as their commander makes a hasty withdrawal ....
a very bad day for clan Monogoto...

Notes:
1. The game ran over 8 moves; the rules I used were a hacked about version of Peter Pig rules trying out a fast play option based on individual figures rather than bases of figures.
2. Approx Casualties
- Clan Tidamatsu - 10%
- Monks and Levy Ashigaru - 10%
- Clan Monogoto - 50% dead, 40% routed, 10% left in some order with their commander.
3. What went wrong for clan Monogoto ?
A smattering of bad saving throws and failing moral checks etc; whereas their opposition seemed to get the run of the luck.
