Granted, it's not that well organized, so it might take a bit of hunting, but there is no better walkthrough.
Scroll down to Asakura house or whatever the name is. It says you can only get her in Second Games.
Fuck, now Takeda house is the shits. I don't have the numbers to get the free invasions, and I can't block their assaults. The army in the bear costumes is funny, and isn't a hazard, but still.

Then, immediately following, two other nations declared war. The one with the young leader from being bullied by the giant guy (who also just took over the gunsmiths), and the amazons.
Now the bullied prefecture is perfectly understandable, but the amazons have declared war because I've invaded all the previous countries that declared war on me... Bitch.
Bear costumes =/= Takeda. That's the Tokugawa.
I'm all "rawr don't you know anything" and then i realise now everyone knows the map of Warring States Japan as well as myself. And actually, in order to get your land and then some back from the demon army, you do have to take ground back. Merely holding out won't do it. I need to go back to playing this, but I got annoyed when I stopped being able to progress with girls and not knowing why. I met all the requirements, why did it stop?
Re-read 'the_taken's post. He never said Takeda had bear costumes.

Takeda is very hard. The army in bear costumes amuses me and is easy.

And Kenshin isn't so bad. She always moves to protect the defender; she'll come to your aid just as often as she comes to theirs if you're under attack a lot. My first game she was a real help.
Really? That's odd, I had to declare war on the poor kid just to prevent the other army from totally destroying his country. I don't want to do war, I'm just hoping if I conquer it I'll be able to help out. I've always asked them to surrender if ever possible.

I admit I could have been more descriptive. I decided to try taking on Takeda on my own, since the walk through said they would take out both the amazons and whatever the Triforce army is called. I want all their women commanders, so I decided that instead of declaring war on both, I'd try and roll through Takeda with two attack a round. I took the first Province in one go, then Takeda did the four attack blitz and started defending with the super generals. I can barely hold two of them off, let alone all four, and forget trying to take a territory from one. Fucking cavalry.
It is true that once you have the sniper girl from the gunsmiths kingdom, it can be ridiculously easy. She's awesomely OP, especially when you increase her number of actions and have foot soldiers to guard her from attack.
Damage + Assassination attempt. Fuck yeah! Need more attacks like that for the rest of the commanders. The item list says there's books that increase action points, and then there's the busy bee. If I crank her speed up high enough, I won't need anything else to attack with her.
I'm gonna figure out all the sources of satisfaction to see if I can get that fifth action fan.
Nah, you still need the others. She's a glass cannon; all offence, no defence. She does make it into my final field team though. Have you been calling for reinforcements when you get the chance with the satisfaction bonus? Some of the best units are available that way.
