[Shibata Tim]

Honda Tadakatsu was an unparallelled warrior on the battle field, who's strengths really knew no bounds. Nor did his loyalty for that matter. A humble Mikawa warrior who not only held honor as a very high standing, but the lords above him. So, it would not be out of the realm of possibility that he would come to aid the Emperor in his time of need. Rebels had been stirring up around the capitol and had finally made their move.

Atop a strong and sturdy brown horse, Tadakatsu sat confidently. He had seen many battles and every time he came out on top or had at least pushed them back enough for a successfully retreat. In his mind, he thought this battle would be no different in that matter. Though every battle was different and he understood that. His armor gleamed in the sunlight as he waited for the rebels to make their move or the Emperor to order him to attack. Either way; Honda Tadakatsu would be on the front lines.

Tadakatsu's lord was off in Mikawa during this time, so he had no urgency to protect him. Which normally, was the case when Tokugawa Ieyasu was around. Often leaving the front lines to turn back and protect his lord or head to his callings. More times it would be the turning point of the battle that Ieyasu had him leave from, some cases it was for a good reason though. No, this time there would be no distractions and he would have free reign of fighting back the rebel forces.

Despite how poorly trained he expected them to be, but any man can change the outcome of the battle. Being so high headed of himself would not serve him well now, he had to understand that. Lifting his massive War Trident into the air and rallying the troops of the Emperor. "Today we defend our beloved Emperor. One who tries to keep peace throughout the land and it is these rebels who want to destroy that goal. Fight with me this day, fight strongly and honorably and I will be there with you."

Opening line up on targets.
Now you decide what your units are going to made up of.
Then i will attack in 4 waves, starting with officer 1, then 2, 3 and officer4 and the Leader.
Each time a wave is defeated I’ll send the next, until I run out of officers.
So you get your units together, I’ll attack first, then you respond. Ok?
