With Spring here, the Unicorn are making tactical maneuvers and having mock battles. In one such battle, two armies of three cohorts each will face off. The goal of the excercise is to practice with the ashigaru and cavalry. To learn precision in the field, and to devise and develop new strategies.

OOC:
Six Unicorn PCs will be chosen to be Leaders their own Cohort, three to a side; two of these will be appointed Commanders of their Respective Armies (PCs decide).

• Both armies are trained in the Unicorn Clan Doctrine from p. 113 of Fields of Victory.
• Each Army will be an Elite Samurai Army (CRB p 280), with a Cavalry, Infantry, and Archers Cohort
• Battle Zone rules from FoV p 118-121, and the new Terrain types introduced on p 122 will be in play.
• The Armies are equipped with blunted training weapons, having a DLS of 3 or the original weapon equippped by the character, whichever is lower.
• Players will be picked 48 hours in Advance of the Event to give time to coordinate. The first hour of the event will be for set-up, with the remaining 6 hours will have one turn each.
• Players will be arranged according to initiative and I will call upon each player to roll and make an IC post during their turn. Players are expected to respond reasonably snappily. 10 minutes without any response may lead to a forfeiture of your action, although "I'm writing, give me a sec" or words to that effect, as well as asking questions, etc, will reset the timer. If the Battle ends before the full 6 turns are done, good job. If the battle continues past that... Well, a draw will be called.
• In the event that not enough Unicorn Characters sign up for the event, characters from other clans or rōnin may be picked, representing "Mercenary Forces".
• This is a Live Text RP Event. You will be expected to be on time. If you give advance warning of being late, you may be granted 1 hour grace time. Failing to show up within the hour will mean forfeiting your spot and taking a no-show penalty as usual.
• Two PCs will be picked as reserves in the case of no-shows. I ask that you make yourselves available if that is the case.
• Expected Rewards; 1 Koku, 1 Favour, 3 XP: 2 Glory for the Winning Army; 1 Glory if the Battle Results in A Draw.
• Please put your Ranking Priority in your Sign-Up comments. I will be double-checking via the Priority Sheet, but if you edit your comment to keep you up to date, I will love you forever and you will have +1 Priority in my Heart, which will decide any tiebreakers. Reserves will also get the +1 Priority in my Heart. Lucky them!
