All units in the attackingarmy or provincial force take part in the battle.The defending player defends with all units in thedefending province. This rule also applies whendefending from a double-troop province.Attacks by Experienced Daimyo Armies: Anexperienced daimyo’s army (which can make more thanone attack) resolves all of its battles before the nextarmy begins to fight.

They can choose units that have alreadyrolled—or any other units involved in the battle.• A player battling with an army can’t choose thedaimyo as a casualty unless it’s the last casualty tobe removed. This applies in defending double-troopprovinces as well.• In a defending province occupied by a castle orfortress, apply hits to the bonus units first. See SpecialDefender Advantages on page 22.• While removing casualties, players must keepwithin the stacking limit rules for hired ronin: aftercasualties are removed, there must still be at leastone less hired ronin unit than surviving regular unitsin the army or provincial force the ronin belong to.Ignore the temporary bonus units gained from a castleor fortress when enforcing this stacking limit.Step 4: Daimyos RollEach player rolls one die for his or her daimyo.
