It was the final battle of the Satsuma Rebellion, where the heavily outnumbered samurai under Saigō Takamori made their last stand against Imperial Japanese Army troops under the command of Generals Yamagata Aritomo and Kawamura Sumiyoshi. The battle culminated in the annihilation of Saigō's army as well as his death, marking the end of the Satsuma Rebellion. |

1)Ambush! Few days before the last fight, a group of samurais managed to ambush Imperial regiments near Hitoyoshi... Description : This phase will be played as Battle. Samurai: the Samurai take their positions as the Imperial army marches on the road, not aware of the ambush. The signal is given to the bowmen, and they open fire on the marching Imperials. the Samurai infantry attacks covered by the bowmen to destroy the Imperial convoy. Imperial Army: the Regiments on the side of the Imperial Army form on the road in double ranks. Every regiment is led by their officer on horseback, and the whole convoy is led by the General. They march until they are ambushed. The Imperials form ranks and start firing in the command of their own officers, trying to repel the samurai the best they can. Imperial Army -Infantry: Preobraz_LG ( 25 ) ; XIIIth Kurmark Landwehr (10) ; 61e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne (10) ; 8th_Moscow reg (10) ;The 32nd Regiment of Foot ( 30 ) ;3 Kenigsberg Sturm-Bat ( 5 ) ; 501st Clone Troopers Legion ( 20 ) ; 110/120 Satsuma Samurais -Samurai: KP (20) ; 84th ( 15 ) ; Household Royal Guards ( 6 ) ; 2ndHessian Regiment ( 5 ) ; 33rd Regiment of Foot ( 9 ) ; -Bowmen: KP (10) ; 3pp (15) 80/80 | (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs020.radikal.ru%2Fi705%2F1611%2F2c%2Fbb04ad0a69b4.jpg&hash=e0a86d4ea1b96756adf259196448654670bc5a05) (http://radikal.ru) |
2)Arriving at Shiroyama After firing a final barrage of artillery lasting the night, Yamagata's men attacked Saigō's position. The samurai, under heavy fire, charged the lines of the imperial army, which had not been trained for close-quarter sword fighting. In just a few minutes, the once organized line turned into disarray. Highly skilled samurai swordsmanship prevailed against an army with very little traditional training. For a short time, Saigō's lines held, but was forced back due to weight of numbers... Description: Samurai: the Samurai, again, take their positions and try to evade casualties from the heavy bombardment they will receive at the beginning. Once the Imperials have arrived and shot two volleys to the defenses, the Samurai are given the signal and they charge directly to the Imperialists trying to crush them in hand-to-hand combat. the Bowmen may give important cover and decrease the musket fire during the charging –perioid (if they don’t choose to charge themselves). Their goal is to kill the Imperial Infantry and fight fearsomely to the last man (or samurai). Imperial Army: the Regiments on the side of the Imperial Army form on the road, and once they are given a signal by the General they advance over the hill to provoke the Samurai. At the start of the round, the Artillery loads all cannons and begins heavy bombardment at the Samurai defenses. Once all Imperials are ready to move out, they’re given the signal and they advance over the hill and form in firing ranks (Regimental ranks, just stick close to other Imperial Regiments). They shoot two volleys at the same time when a signal is given to all officers. Then, as the Samurai charge, they –must- charge aswell – but they can reload and shoot during the charge, but they must continue moving forward to finally face the Samurai in hand-to-hand combat. The winning conditions are following: Imperials: All Samurai is defeated Samurai: All the Imperial Infantry are eliminated in the melee. As there is no point charging the reserves and the artillery by foot, the Samurai simply stick behind the hill to regroup and gather up horses for their final charge to fight for the old ways. Imperial Army -Infantry:: Preobraz_LG ( 20 ) ;8th_Moscow reg (10) ; 61e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne (10) ; XIIIth Kurmark Landwehr (10) ; The 32nd Regiment of Foot ( 30 );3 Kenigsberg Sturm-Bat ( 5 ) ;501st Clone Troopers Legion ( 20 ) ; -Artillery:: Preobraz_LG ( 5 ) ; 110/120 Satsuma Samurais -Samurai: KP (20); Household Royal Guards ( 6 ) ; 2ndHessian Regiment ( 5 ) ; 33rd Regiment of Foot ( 9 ) ; -Bowmen: 84th ( 15 ) ; -Cavalry: KP (10) ; 3pp (15) 80/80 | (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs019.radikal.ru%2Fi635%2F1611%2F39%2F1269e515e078.jpg&hash=23fdc5708bdc0a6c20b959f256638be64216c35c) (http://radikal.ru) |
3)The Last Charge of the Samurai Following defeat at the Siege of Kumamoto Castle and in other battles in central Kyūshū, the surviving remnants of the samurai forces loyal to Saigō Takamori fled back to Satsuma, seizing the hill of Shiroyama overlooking Kagoshima on 1 September 1877. Imperial army troops under the command of General Yamagata Aritomo and marines under the command of Admiral Kawamura Sumiyoshi began arriving soon after, and the rebels were surrounded. After combat losses and defections, Saigō had only about 500 samurai remaining of a force of over 20,000 which had besieged the government garrison in the city of Kumamoto only six weeks earlier.... Description: Samurai: all the Samurai group up behind a hill, on their horsebacks. Regiments on the Samurai team can up their own charging lines. When everyone is in place, the Samurai gallop up on the hill and shortly, when the signal is given, they charge towards the Imperial masses. They could either charge directly to the infantry firing at them, or try to pass the infantry with minimum casualties and try to take down the artillery. If the Samurai win, the Imperial staff are to be beheaded (seppuku) by the Samurai. Imperial Army: the Regiments on the Imperial side are led by their officers, who take the cavarly officer unit (they should be on horseback). They’re led by their officers to form firing ranks in front of the artillery (down the hill) and try to block the way to the artillery, and at the same time try not to get themselves killed by the fierce Samurai charge. the Artillery loads all the cannons and can begin firing at the moment the Samurai start charging. the Gatling Guns can be put in use under the Imperial General. If the Samurai are being completely deceased and there are only afew Samurai left, the General may order all firing ceased. the Samurai may either commit seppuku to eachother or keep charging, if they want to be killed in combat. Last living person on the Samurai team earns the title of being the ”Last Samurai” and can be beheaded by the Imperial General.
