ThunderWarrior Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Hello! I'm happy to present you MOC about Japanese history! The Battle of Nagashino (長篠の戦い Nagashino no Tatakai) took place in 1575 near Nagashino Castle on the plain of Shitarabara in the Mikawa Province of Japan. Takeda Katsuyori attacked the castle when Okudaira Sadamasa rejoined the Tokugawa, and when his original plot with Oga Yashiro for taking Okazaki Castle, the capital of Mikawa, was discovered. Nobunaga's skillful use of firearms to defeat Takeda's cavalry tactics is often cited as a turning point in Japanese warfare; many cite it as the first "modern" Japanese battle. Seeking to protect his arquebusiers, which he would later become famous for, Nobunaga built a number of wooden palisades in a zig-zag pattern, setting up his gunners to attack the Takeda cavalry in volleys. Forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Forces of Takeda Katsuyori. Thanks for watching! Edited August 10, 2018 by ThunderWarrior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin_IV Posted August 4, 2018 The fact is very interesting, that the Japanese soldiers carried big banners on their back while fighting. It was like the Roman Imperial eagle-cohort inspirating the troops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiantAmbushBeetle Posted August 5, 2018 Very cool Vignette about a time and place in history that is really overlooked nowadays. And I love the design of the ramparts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
one79 Posted September 15, 2018 Nice design. Where did you get those tiles for the banners on the back? Are they from Ninjago sets or custom prints? But, did they use cannons at the battle of Nagashino? I am not much into Sengoku Jidai history though. From what I know muskets are widely used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
