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!

Haha, I wish there was a modern day mod, could be a lot of fun. Wonder how much a mechanised battalion could take on? Sort of like the Anglo-Zulu war only with Strykers!

Cavalry charge!

I find it interesting that Shogun 2 has much better facial animations than Rome II despite individuals supposedly being a much bigger focus in Rome.

Another night battle

Oh s!!!



The rave got a little out of hand



Then we will fight in the shade!



Wouldn't want to be the guy who 'volunteered' to hold the lantern instead of a sword



I know karate



Aftermath
