Army Deployment

Round 1 & 2:
I Wind Borne Speed my Clay Soldiers, led by The Nameless One (exp), he WBS his Oni Horde, led by Moto Tsume and we ran towards the center of the field. Isawa Tsuke fired off a Fury of Osano Wo, he played `Turtle Shell`, very few hit, no damage done.
Round 3:
	Oni no Tsuburu kept advancing, attempting to flank my Wave Masters, who was lead by Isawa Tsuke. Tsubru got within 8" of my two hidden units of Earth Elementals, one led by Asako Yasu, other by a Guardian of Fire. Lucky for him, his Necromancer casted Torrential Rain that round, which spent him, not allowing Yasu to challenging him to a duel.
Round 4:
Yasu started to give chase to his shugenja unit. I spun my other Earth Elementals around to cut off Tsuburu if I can and to help support the battle that was going to meet in the center. I kept going with Tsuke to try to reach the Lantern. The Clay Soldiers continue to advance. He did the same, moving the Oni Horde and Ogre Warriors towards the center. The Water Elementals was drawing away the other Ogre Warrior unit, which I'd hoped to be used as a delayed tactic.
Round 5:
	Tsuke arrived at the Lantern and got a Writ of Command. He charged the Clay Soldiers with his Oni Horde. Yasu challenged his shugenja to a duel, which was accepted by his Minor Oni Servant. Yasu dispatched the Servant without a problem. His Oni Hordes did 5 wounds to the Clay Soldiers.
Round 6:
The Nameless One using his Kiso and challenged Tsume to a duel. Tsume lost his head, the Oni Horde broke. Oni no Tsuburu charged into the Wave Masters and started a bloodbath.
Round 7:
	Using the Writ Tsuke just got, he turned to face the Oni, however leaving his flank open to the Ogre Warriors, led by an Ogre Bushi with "Revenge". The Wave Masters did 3 wounds to the Oni.
Round 8:
The Nameless One used Jade Strike on the Oni, leaving the Oni with only 1 wound. His Ogre Warriors slammed into the Wave Masters, doing 11 points of damage, destroying the Wave Masters and leaving Tsuke with also 1 wound. Tsuke broke. His other Ogre Warrior unit lead by an Ogre Outlaw engaged the Water Elementals, they sat and traded shots, giving him the advantage because I didn't have any support for the Water Elementals.
Round 9:
	Yasu's Earth Elementals engaged the broken Oni Horde, routing them. Tsuke ran and died. The Nameless One charged the Oni but failed to do the last point of damage.
Final Results:Phoenix 6 - Shadowland 13. Analysis: It was actually closer since Tsume was worth 5 VP, but didn't count because of The Nameless One's Kiso. But I screwed up by getting too anxious. I left Tsuburu with 1 wound. I blocked my own flanking unit, and left my Water Elementals unsupported. I didn't need to rush to the Lantern, which exposed me to the superior HTH of the Shadowland army. Tsuke didn't even get to fire off his 24 dice spell.
