I agree with Mitsurugi.  Try luring their units out one by one.  When faced with overwhelming numbers of defenders I will usually set up an ambush force with a single pike unit as bait.  I will send the pike unit out close enough so that a tower will open fire.  Being pikes, they are more resistant to musket fire.  The enemy usually goes after the bait unit.  Then I lead them to the ambush point.  However, you must set up the ambush point close enough because the defending units will only chase after the bait unit for a short distance.  I also station a cavalry or horse unit so that when the enemy unit goes after the bait, I can send that cavalry unit in to make the initial hit (which raises my army's morale) and to cut off the pursuing enemy unit's line of retreat.  After the first defending unit is eliminated, repeat the process.

[lonewolf1218]

noone has a mem card yet mits. I've havin some real bad back pains, hadn't felt up to leavin home except to walk the dog. Had this lower back/hip issue since I was your age. Anyways gettin it in the mail tomorrow (sat). Bugg had up sumthin on facebook about being an assistant for the bassist for the band x japan, over the weekend.

[Mitsurugi]

man sucks i seem to also have some back pains but maybe its because i am not sleeping correctly it goes away through out the day. Anyways any new updates on your game

[lonewolf1218]

yes bad sleeping habits and positions to have I (said in yoda's voice). That made my back worse. My own bloody fault. Hmm the game lets see after 2 yrs or so of nonstop attacks on amago's lands he petioned the court for a vacation. (a joke) uyama has a 74 led minus his +4 title amago a 72. Oda has lots of guys going up lets see his 2 attacks on amago got murikami and hackisuka to 90 led, ozeki to 83 akechi 85. Akechi has a +6 title hack n zeki +4s. In the miyoshi's turn, his 1 attack on amago got nagayoshi n' masayuki or nagayuki(the volley guy) up 2pts of led. I still have the mori n' uragami to attack amago. The ashina are my northern victim the uesugi satake soma n' satomi attack them.  Progress is slow alotta the time as I have to rerun battles or spend hours fighting to get the game to give me decent builds. All in all not that bad though I'm mad the ronin aren't showing up. I'm gonna have oda n' miyoshi butt heads soon. Miyoshi needs some things demolished an oda has the officers for da job.

i am interested to hear how hard the battles are

[lonewolf1218]

Ok this is a bit warped explaining. First amago is 1 of my victims. There really isn't a battle with him. BUT as skills have risen, both amago n' uyama are actually taking back more towers and doing it faster losing troops less often ect. Which means the attackers can retake more towers. Oda goes 1st so he bashes the fences/gates. Then I just try to keep the forces apart. This isn't about winning it's a stat thing. The last REAL battles were uesugi attacking the ashina had noae lead that with the horse yasuda sadanao ujie n iwakiri. Took 4800 troops I think ashina put 11800 in the field. Thier only really good officer is moriuji. I got him to betray to takeda. Anyways they of course kept sending guys down 1 at a time to attack my forts picked um off till they lost 4 officers n around 5800 troops. I attacked took forts ashina ran away before I got the main camp. The castle battle nasu got killed by yasuda n tamura had bows battle over. Naoe's volley is now 3 yasuda charge 2. Other was shoni vs ouchi.         

[Mitsurugi]

so it's a little harder to beat right with good officers distribute evenly within japan

[lonewolf1218]

Honestly havn't had battles take place yet among the forces I've really built up. But that i the idea. If I took oda as I've built him against miyoshi or takeda without having helped them well slaughter comes to mind. Even with the help it doesn't look good for them. Once I start havin oda do raids to bash some of miyoshi's fiefs, I'll know more. Sometimes the game seems to forget officers have come up 20+pts of led soo again will let ya'll know.

[Mitsurugi]

what if you attack and the in the battle screen give the command of Auto

[lonewolf1218]

hhhmm, guess I could do that. But it isn't going to represent my tatics. And there is the issue with the game wanting to have oda lose men/materials. On auto the game will probably send everyone straight at the main camp. They'll get attacked from behind n' get crushed. When you combine the fact I use less men... , anyways I don't see it workin well. The game doesn't manage officers or troops well. I've seen it time n' again when I leave the game on autoplay for a few turns. The simple fact that almost every diamyo has many high ranking officers means the battles should be interesting IF the game uses the troops it can. I already see a bad habit of the game commiting less troops than it could or should. If that continues the game should be a joke to beat even with built up officers. After all I can't make the game play well.
