Reinstalled Shogun and Fall of the Samurai, possibly the best of the Total War series. Playing with the TROM 3 mod installed I started off with the US Marines leading a night-time assault on a coastal fortress.
The natives provide an artillery bombardment
BOOM!
BOOM!
Keep calm and carry on
Marines begin the advance under covering fire provided by gatlings
The Japanese Uesegi return fire with matchlock and bow
Quickly trying to form a line before they counterattack
Too late! Despite our firepower and technological superiority we are embarrassingly forced from the walls.
It was a costly defeat but we'll be back, the castle will fall!
