Before I start on who is attacking who, since you guys will be judging my entry, along with the clan who's defending against me, here is my supplies information. I used your fake scores to determine how much gold I have, and I'm informing you what I'm spending my gold on:

12.65 was the average score which = 500 gold + 250 for Sakura award, (given to me by someone) so 2,750 gold.

2000 troops

One main castle level 1

2 ronin

1 month supplies

I bought 580 troops, bringing my troops to 2,580 and gold down to 1,010. I also bought two ronin, bringing my ronin up to four and my gold down  to 510. So my total supplies is this:

510 gold

2,580 troops

One main castle level 1

4 ronin

1 month supplies

Here is a list of who's attacking who:

Clan 4: Jyubei Takeda is attacking Clan 1: Sachi Miyoshi 

Clan 16: Nobunaga Oda is attacking Clan 2: Kyou Asai (remember all of you will score this one, not me; it's only fair)

Clan 7: Shiro Askura is attacking Clan 8: Hirotei Imagawa 

Clan 9: Noaki Hojo is attacking Clan 10: Setsuka Matsunaga

Clan 11: Oka Mori is attacking Clan 15: Toshihiro Ukita

Clan 14: Yuudai Kato is attacking Clan 13: Ren Sanada

Here then, is your first battle task: 

This is a Japanese style castle siege. You're either attacking another clan's castle, or you're defending your castle from enemies. For those of you judging Nobunaga verses Kyou, please keep in mind that it is a Japanese style castle siege.

If you're attacking, you have the option to buy one helping unit to attack with you.

- Battering Ram

- Catapult

- Flaming Arrows

- Siege Towers

If you're defending you have the option to buy one helping unit to defend with you:

- Catapults

- Ballista

- Boiling Oil or Tar

- Moat

Either way, you must pick a random unit that your enemy is using against you. You may not state how the battle ends up for sure. You must buy the one you use, but the one you challenge against doesn't cost anything.

Each unit costs 500 gold. YOU MAY ONLY BUY ONE. 

Location: Castle

Failing to include all the proper elements, including location, will factor into how you're judged and who wins. BUYING UNITS IS OPTIONAL, so you don't have to if you don't want to, but keep in mind the rules and historical accuracy of the changes of winning a siege without one, especially against one. Even if you choose not to buy a unit, your enemy MUST have one. 

Due date:

June 27, 6pm central. Being late will factor into how you are judged and who wins.

Word count: 

2,000. Going over WILL factor into how you are judged and who wins.

Penalties:

Clan 10: Setsuka Matsunaga you did not hand in on the regular task. Here is your penalty:

You must face against one unit above, without having one of your own. Your word count has also been lessened to 1,500. 

Those of you who are 9 - 6 place on the overall rankings: 

If you're defending, an earthquake has caused your south side wall to collapse, leaving it completely open to the enemy. If you're attacking, then the earthquake has taken out half your troops. 

Those of you who are 5 - 4 place on the overall rankings:

A winter storm has caused your sieges to become delayed by three weeks. Supplies has dwindled accordingly. Your troops are also exhausted, and 100 of them have deserted. 

Awards:

Those of you who are 3 - 2 on the overall rankings:

Another clan has showed up with another unit, but you don't trust them. You have the option of buying ONE EXTRA UNIT to help you, but you must BUY it. 

Those of you who are in 1 place on the overall rankings:

For this task only, a friend has come as a last minute rescue, with a unit of ninjas for you to use for free.

Jay_Loren since you did NOT comment on the prepare for battle chapter, then you have a quicker due date: your battle task entry is now due on June 23rd, 6pm central. 

Good luck.
