From the Regulations of Kuroda Nagamasa:

The arts of peace and the arts of war are like to wheels of a cart which, lacking one, will have difficulty in standing.

The spirits of the islands watch in awe at the busy work of their human brothers as Winter 1573 rises and ebbs. As the snows melt, a new Shimazu fleet is seen in Osumi, a Mori army stands ready at Chikuzen as does an Oda one in Totomi. The Asakura set sail from Inaba in a new navy and the Takeda, not to be out-done, raise a new army in South Shinano and launch a new fleet in Echigo. The Hojo keep busy scuttling their fleets at sea and the Chosokabe slip from the pages of the struggle.

I'd like to say thanks to Mike one last time for stepping in and taking a very difficult position. I definitely appreciate it. And with that, we move on to Spring 1574. I'll set a quick deadline and call orders due for Friday, November 9th (11:59 PM GMT). If this is too quick for anyone though, please just let me know.

Cheers folks. Let me know if you spot any errors.
