<<Battle Map>>The forces of Akurei succeeded in their landing of the Ryukyu Islands. They landed on a small island which seemed to house the main power house of the whole area of islands. This force was small in comparison to most, but one not to be overlooked. Their leader knew of one thing, and that was that it would take more than a few insects to take him and his fort, however he did not expect such a bold move so early on in the Akurei's life, and so he was ill prepared, lucky for the attackers, and unlucky for the Defenders. The Akurei forces scouts had succeeded in finding the castle, and amassing a detailed report on numbers, however they failed in their attempt to return without being spotted. As on swordsmen moved away he was tripped over by some sort of trap. As the trap was switched a loud repeated banging could be heard, like that heard when objects fall out of a cupboard. Instantly the lord was alerted, and sent his main force to investigate this. Mean while the Akurei were busy making their main camp, as the last preperations were being made a lone scout could be seen running up over the nearby hill towards Lord Kiriyama. He nearly dropped to the ground from exhuastion and just barely got the words out as sweat poured down his face from the sun and the excercise. "Sir! They are coming... the enemy are approaching our position, I have their numbers, though I barely left with my life."The man handed the lord a piece of paper, showing the formations and the numbers of the enemy as close to the exact number as possible. Enemy Numbers:400 Marines with Thatch Shields and Spears. 400 Militia with Thatch Shields and Swords. 250 Militia with Crossbows and Leather Armour. 200 Mounted Militia with Scimitars and Thatch Shields. 200 Pirates with Scimitars. 32 Camel Mounted Pirate Specialists with Scimitars and Javelin Quivers. 500 Unarmed Militia. 25 Imperial Guards with Composite Bows. 3 Light Cruisers. 1 Light Warship with mounted Ballista. Amount of Allied Reinforcements per round:650 per round (Siege weapons count as 5 men) (Mounted troops count as 2) Conditions for Victory:- Enemy commander is captured or killed. - Enemy army is forced to retreat. - Enemy army are wiped out. Extra:- Their is a light wind, nothing which will majorly affect missiles or speed of units. - Water flow is from top to bottom. - To get to the top of the nearby hills and mountains it will take a full 2 turns. - It has recently rained, and as such fire attacks are less effective. - It is foggy so vision is restricted.

*He rushed out of the tent, luckily, they were warned beforehand. The enemy was ill prepared, so it seems at least. They hurriedly marched to the Akurei camp, not in complete order it seems. His troops were ready, and during the building of their camp reinforcements arrived steadily. And now he had a small, but good force mustered.*
"Gear up, guard Kiriyama's left flank. Get a move on!''
*He shouted as he whipped his troops into position. The 480 swordsmen with studded leather armors took the back, with the marines in the front as they were wielding their crossbows. Just behind them were his storm troops with studded leather armors and swords. The marines would fire when they get in range, and would keep firing until the enemy got too close. Then the swordsmen would rush in, assisted by the marines if needed. Since his troops were gathered he took position left of Kiriyama.*
''You ready for this Akira?''

Ai stands slightly ahead of the main Akurei army, and to the right. Turing , she gently nods to her spearmen and they take small masks off there belt, clipping it onto there helmets to create a hideous snarling visage. Two of them hastily run back to the camp and begin to bring the large jars of alcohol up to her.
"Lets have a little fun."
Her bodyguards start to uncork the alcohol and pour it out, creating a large pool to Ai's left she carefully places a firework at the very edge. It had taken her an age to get the mixture right and she hoped it still worked. The enemy soldiers enter her sight and she smiles as she sees there determined faces.
Making a complex gesture and a lot of showmanship she cries out and, letting out a banshee wail, points to the floor, which, due to the match she discreetly drops, seems to burst into flames. The firecracker goes off with a loud pop, shooting forward and up before exploding in a cloud of saffron sparks. The fire light plays off her smiling face, and these demon-like masks of her bodyguards. They speak in perfect unison. A perfectly timed act.
"Fear the Witch of Okinawa!"
The fire crackles and dances, the light fog making the image of the crazy witch even more haunting. She just prayed it would work. The ground was damp and it wouldn't take long for the fire to die down.
"For she shall consume the souls of her enemies...

(MAP BY ADRAY, JUST POSTING IT TO BE EASIER) Kiriyama: Yeah, i was born ready kaiser!.... Kiriyama drew his Scimitar and charged in with his troops on foot, his face looked Sinister and he was determined to kill last one of these bastards. His frontline of spearmen charged in holding there spears infront of them making a wall of moving spikes look like they were approaching the enemy. These spearmen were followed by his second line of defence what were more highly trained the Marine spearmen were at the back acting as the second wave of troops at the back was the 600 Swordsmen marching slowly with there blades against the chests while the spearmen charged in. The swordsmen then stopped as the spearmen engaged battle and split off into 2 groups 300 Swordsmen marched left and 300 Swordsmen marched right. As the spearmen were fighting the troops, suddenly the swordsmen came to a halt and lowered there swords they then began to shout and cheer and fully charged at the enemy forces.Troop: For Akurei! Kiriyama: *War Cry* Ohhh Yeh!....Go Get Em!

*He merely grinned at Kiriyama, the man fought with style, with class. He fought vigorously. Akira didn't seem to care for strategy, nodding to his men he signaled the marines to go to the far left, out of the enemies reach and shoot at their back. Then with a nod he began walking in a fast pace towards the enemy, raising his left hand into the air and spinning his palm with the index and middle finger in the air, signaling the rest to follow him. And so they did, like a machine they began following Kaiser, who was moving to the right. And with a battle cry he rushed forward, sword in hand, followed by his loyal troops. He'd hit the enemy exactly where Kiriyama hit them, hard and fast, and with some luck they'll smash their middle lines, rout them, and in that way create a gap in their forces. Should the attack fail, well, then they could get easily surrounded by the enemy. The marines would be of some help in that situation but... As they collided each of the troops let out a mighty battle cry, striking fear into the hearts of the defenders. Kaiser was fighting shoulder to shoulder with Akira.*
''Having fun yet?''
*He asked, a smile on his face, cutting yet another enemy down.*

Post Order:Ai Kiriyama Kaiser Retribution at SeaThe firework explodes near to the enemy positions, sparks fly in all directions as the smoke begins to expand and fill the already misty air. The sparks hit several men, and many who were not hit become stunned, some even blinded by the bright lights they had not been prepared for. Ryunishi Kinibu, the leader of the enemy force growls at the act and calls for his first attack. Meanwhile another threat was beginning to present itself as at sea the distant figure of white flags could be seen as ships came over the horizon. The sound of wood breaking first could be heard by the allied forces, and soon the bolt of a Ballista was seen soaring through the sky towards it's setination of the allied main camp which was now fully built. The light cruisers gained speed quickly and was up close to the shore, not knowing the enemy numbers, but still attacking, the small amount of archers on board, let go of their arrows as they volleyed into the enemy commanders ranks. Back at the commander of the islands army, the Miltia were sent, all 500 of the untrained men rushed at their enemy in no particular order. It was a common trick used by this islands inhabitants for many years, testing the opponents true strengths and that gave a key on what to do next. The miltia attacked with whatever they brought, mostly farming tools such as Hoes, Spades and the occasional pitch fork, but some had more heavier weapons such as Swords, pickaxes and scythes. The forces attacked with the common aggression they have developed by the leaders of the island, and they would be not as easy as the common Chinese miltia, but still not much of a challenge. The battle rages as the enemy also charged, the Miltia forces were quickly defeated and the 50 remaining forces surrendered in fear. Island Losses:60 Marines with Thatch Shields and Swords (From fireworks, most are injured and out of the battle, but a few are killed from shock or injuries to the head.) 450 Miltia Allies Losses:Kiriyama - 20 Swordsmen from archer fire Kiriyama - 25 Spearmen from militia onslaught. kaiser - 10 Swordsmen from militia onslaught Main camp is unharmed, the bolt missed easily, but did skewer a nearby rodent. Next round can each person post their total numbers in a list below their posts so I can cleary see what you have. Thanks. I have had a few alcoholic beverages tonight so if I have missed anything pm me

Kiriyama was amused at the enemy forces, he ordered them to continue what he was doing he then boarded a Light Cruiser, He sailed the ship for a head on collision with the enemy ship he swiftly turned the wheel around and his sailed tangled in the enemy Light Warship.
Kiriyama: Take the wheel...
One of kiriyama's swordsmen begin stirring the boat and keeping it online with the other ship while Kiriyama walks along the frame holding the sails.
He seen the huge Ballista, Kiriyamas eyes widened. He then shimmied across the top of the sail and climbed onto the enemy ship. He was at the top of the ship and the ballista would probably not attack since he was onboard there ship, he then drew his Scimitar and stabbed it into the sail and shredded the sail all the way down until he landed on deck. He charged at the small group of pirates on board the ship.
Kiriyama: Come on!....Think you can take me on!!!....
300 Cavalry reinforcements hit the shores of Ryukyu and charged onto the lands directly at the enemy troops, the crashes of the horses hitting the group as they were charging could be heard from miles away the troops mounted on the horses with there spears could be heard cheering.
MEANWHILE!.
Kiriyama: Come on...i will challenge you all and commandeer this ship!
Kiriyama's Forces (Troops Deducted!): 580 Swordsmen 525 Spearmen 100 Spearmen (Marines) 300 Cavalary (Spears)
EDIT - NAVAL REINFORCEMENT CARRIERS: [16 Light Cruisers and 2 Small Warships]
POST ORDER: Kiriyama Akira Kaiser Amadeus
Ai Yazawa has retreated from battle, and will return shortly. (She has signed off and we came to an agreement that when she signs off she retreats so we can speed the battle up)
EDIT - I have upgraded my navy and can now get 780 Reinforcements Instead of 620)

*The militia that had been sent against them was easily dispatched, and the ones that surrendered were sent back to the camp, tied and disabled. He saw his leader go on board a ship to engage the enemy warships. Good, he would destroy the enemy himself then, his casualties were minimal after all. Whistling his troops didn't overpursue. They went back in line, the marines still shooting volleys out of their crossbows at the enemy, pulling back if someone came too close. His swordsmen formed three lines. He turned as he heard thundering behind them. The enemy?! No, it was their cavalry, this was good. He wasn't alone in this. Feeling safe again he urged his troops forwards so they may get away from the archer fire. They advanced at a medium pace, not sprinting, but not walking, a slow run, watching the enemy closely.*
''No charging until I say so, got it?''
Left- 30 marines with x bows and swords that are shooting the back lines of the enemy from the left flank, pulling back should the enemy come close. 470 swordsmen with swords and studded leather 20 storm troopers with same equipment

(Alright, on the Ai retreating every time she goes off line. No. It's my opinion. Cause that is cheap. She will remain in the battle but her turn will be skipped if thats the way you want it. The way I do battles, and what I know of the rules*May have changed* once you retreat you are gone from the battle for good.)
War Is What Joins Us
The commander of the Island forces watched as the Battle raged. His first wave having surrendered. Predictable.
He ordered his elite archers to attack the men shooting arrows at his left flank. Twenty-five arrows sped through the air, landing among the men on the left.
His crossbowmen moved up. Each man having a militia holding a shield in front of them so they were less affected by the arrows raining into their lines.
The rest of the Militia charged forward. Shields held at the ready, absorbing arrows. Following them up were the pirates, scimitars in hand. The militia collided with the enemy, swords flying. Severing bodies, removing limbs. The pirates came in as well, fighting like demons.
The Water
The warship launched one last bolt at the main camp, before being boarded. The archers fired volleys at the ship as it approached, injuring and killing the men on the other ship. As the two vessel's tangled up, some men went below deck. No way were they gonna let this fall into their hands. They began to knock over barrels of oil, and crack them open. As they ran above deck and began to abandon their ship one man threw a torch at the oil below. It lit, the ship lighting on fire, dying from the inside out.
Losses
Defenders 30 Militia with Thatch Shields and Swords - Kaiser's attack on the flank. 20 Pirates with Scimitars - From the Melee 35 Militia with Thatch Shields and Swords - Melee 1 Light Warship with Ballista - Akira's attack and burning it down
Attackers
Kaiser 10 Marines With Crossbows and swords - Imperial Archers attack 40 Swordsmen with Studded Leather - Melee

Kiriyama Akira: Damn, those bastards...damn them to hell...
Kiriyama jumped off the burning ship into the sea and began to swim to shore. His light cruiser was taken down with the small warship. Kiriyama got back on his feet and dried himself off he walked into his main camp and prepared his reinforcements. One of his vessels down ment that he could take less reinforcements.
Navalship Reinforcements: 650
His ships sail back in with more troops, Kiriyama brings one last wave of troops in for now while his men were fighting the enemy forces, the enemy looked weak and that they should surrender shortly. On board the ships where 200 Marines (spears) and 400 Crossbowmen.
Kiriyama's Forces: 580 Swordsmen 525 Spearmen 300 Spearmen (Marines) 300 Cavalary (Spears) 400 Crossbow
Navy Vessels: 15 Light Cruisers 2 Small Warships
His archers begin a mass volley of arrows on the enemy navy attempting to wipe out the whole crew so Akurei could capture the boats, he then created a new formation of troops, His cavalry charged infront crashing down and ramming into enemy troops the spear cavalry attacked the enemies, he then had his spearmen charge forward and to split off into 2 groups left and right while his marine spearmen would charge through the centre. While his swordsmen were surrounding the enemy and attempting to isolate them while his crossbowmen continued to fire mass hails of arrows at the enemy boats.
Formation:
----FORWARD----- ----------CASP---------- ----SP---SP2----SP---- ---------SW-------- (Surround and isolate)
Key: CASP: Cavalry Spearmen SP - Spearmen SP 2 - Marines (Spearmen) SW - Swordsmen
(YEH SORRY ABOUT THAT I JUST THOUGHT THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY ABOUT AI YAZAWA)

*Another slash, another man down. The battle was wild, and surprisingly, things were going well for now. He heard rumbling, and through the mist he could see figures moving. The second wave. With a smirk he signaled his men to charge in, ,meeting the opponents on midfield, swords clashing, limbs flying. Not bad, he thought, but not good enough. The militia were relatively badly equipped, save for the thatch shields, but this would not save them in melee. The pirates on the other hand, they were furious, but met a resistance twice as furious as they are in the form of his storm troops.
The marines shot out another two volleys at the left flank then drew their swords, rushing the archers so they may disrupt their ranks, causing chaos and disorder. With a loud yell they collided with the imperial archers, hacking and slashing.
Kaiser himself was in the midst of the fight, crying out his challenge to anyone who may care*
''OH YEEEEEAH! DOOOORYAA! ANYONE WANT A LITTLE FIGHT WITH ME?''
Left: 20 marines 20 storm troopers 430 swordsmen
[Edit: TROOP NUMBERS...]

((I may not be as online as the dudes, so if im not you can take my turn. Just assume that i'm fighting and doing nothing particularly special.))
Ai and her small bodyguard unit charge into the wake of the main army. With a deft flick of her wrist she drives one kama up into a mans chin, then with the other she rips open a stomach. Hot, stinking entrails come free with a wet slapping sound. With a return swing she stabs into the mans head. A quick end.
"You call these enemies?"
Her bodyguard skewers a man and she neatly decapitates him with a double swing of her kamas.
"I have seen more intimidating things in the barracks latrine!!"
Ai Yawaza:
5 spearmen bodyguards.

The Moment of Truth
The assault continued as the Militia swordsmen meeted with the forces of Kaiser and Kiriyama, as blood and limbs flew all over the battlefield in one of the bloodiest scenes of this battle so far, the forces of Ai battled strong against a much larger opponents.
The battle currently had little extra parts, no special tactics or anything by either man, and this would stay for now as the 32 Camel Mounted Pirates begin to flank the forces of Kiriyama and Kaiser, and attempt to attack the rear to aid their allies.
Attackers Losses: Kaiser - 95 Swordsmen (from attacking the militia forces) Kiriyama - 50 Spearmen (From attacking he miltia) 60 Swordsmen (From attacking the militia) Ai - 1 Bodyguard (From defending against enemy forces)
Defenders Losses: 220 Militia with Thatch Shields and Swords (Wiped out by Spears and Swords of the enemy) 85 Marines with Thatch Shields and Spears (From archer fire) 50 Pirates with Scimitars (From Ai and Kaisers assaults) 2 Light Cruisers (From Kitiyama's constant archer bombardments)
Remaining Defence: 285 Marines with Thatch Shields and Spears. 25 Militia with Thatch Shields and Swords. 250 Militia with Crossbows and Leather Armour. 200 Mounted Militia with Scimitars and Thatch Shields. 130 Pirates with Scimitars. 32 Camel Mounted Pirate Specialists with Scimitars and Javelin Quivers. 25 Imperial Guards with Composite Bows. 3 Light Cruisers.

Kiriyama ordered his men for a full scale attack, his Crossbowmen carried on hailing the Light Cruisers in attempt to destroy their crew and take over the ships. The troops decided to carry on with the isolation plan half of the troops charged for the enemy the other half ran far out of the battlefield and ran around to the back of the enemy forces and charged forward making a pincer attack.
Kiriyama's Forces: 530 Swordsmen 475 Spearmen 300 Spearmen (Marines) 300 Cavalary (Spears) 400 Crossbow
