Ikusa-by any name

[Old Dwarf]

I know this isn't a hot Zombi Topic,but I put a damn lot of
work pimping Ikusa into something resembling history this
past week(I have to burn some Vacation Time or loose it
so I've been free this week ). Plus Sakku pays Mods by
the post So here's my background of a campaign
I'm starting.

Disclaimer-This ain't your Daddy's Ikusa(Samurai Swords,
Shogun,whatever).I picked Ikusa as I wanted
some Samurai Action & realized it was rather lacking
in any semblance of real history.Great Mechanics,
cool figs but the random assignment of Provinces
& the nonhistorical clan alliances didn't' work for me.

So I pimped up with Historical Alliances,actual
Leaders & the Provinces they started with, plus
everyone favorites the Ikko-ikki Warrior Monks.

Background: Daimyo Oda nobunga,controlling 7
Provinces in Central Honshu has lost a little face in his
drive to bring all Japan under his control.

A diplomatic insult by Asakura yoshikaga resulted in Oda invading
Omi Province only to have Azi nagamasa of neighboring Echizen
Province support the Asakura Clan.Oda was forced to regroup
back to Yasmashiro Province .However even there trouble was brewing,
the Warrior monks of the Enryaku-ji Sect revolted
& Oda's puppet Shogun Ashikaga yoshiaki intrigued
against him.

Saika magoivhi sensing opportunity allied Kii
Province with the Azi & Asahura Clans.The smaller
Clans Miyoshi in Settgu province & Rokkaru in
Omi also sided with the anti-Oda forces.

The Major Clans of Uesugi controlling 7 Provinces ,
Mori & Unika controlling 9 provinces & Takeda controlling
6 Provinces looked on to see how things developed
against the Oda Clan & it's allies Clans Tokugawa,
Matsunaga ,Tustsui.

The year is 1570 & Honshu erupts in WAR!
