Re: The Book of Izumi Samurai
These guys are interesting. They have pretty high defense for a squad, and with counterstrike, they need it. You don't want to use them to guard something, otherwise your opponent's range will kill them off fast. Instead, put their six move to good use entangling enemy figures. Once engaged, the enemy will have to attack them, which is useful if it's a ranged unit. The enemy then has to waste turns trying to beat down five defense, and if its attack is low, you have the added possibility of counterstriking it. Although their attack does nothing much, don't let it get you down. They are very useful for holding enemies in place while you situate your figures, and then shoot them down from a safe distance.
