Honor or Vengeance

   The Battle of Fuse was fought in 1553 south of the Kawanakajima Plain on the West side of the Chikumagawa River. Two battles were fought here before both sides were forced to disengage before the coming of winter.

   Uesugi Kenshin marched up the western bank while Takeda Shingen moved along the eastern bank twelve days after taking Katsurao Castle. They encountered each other at the Shrine of Hachiman June 3, 1553.

   You are a samurai leading forces of the Daimyo. Your part of the battle is more than just winning combat. You must keep honor so that the Daimyo will recognize your status which will afford you better options. Victory hinges on your leadership skills.
