I'm not sure there's much more input to give other than 'Hi, we're Cav.'   It makes sense for the Cavalry to be its own squad tactics wise as mixing infantry and cavalry under the same orders just gets messy when it comes to matching pace, etc. 

Wake's personal tactic is simply CHARGE (unless ordered otherwise).

Heh, that's why I picked it originally - it seemed the right place for Wake.  But Bob's plans make sense even if he wasn't the GM so Squad 3 it shall be.

As with others I'm holding off reading them til I can finish my own - if I can get off my inertia laden ass to do so.

I think, so far at least, it's just the two of us as PCs for Cav

Repeated avatars aren't that uncommon.

Though I must admit I keep thinking of the Daigotsu as the founder of the Hida Wrestling school

I loved that location description.

No, no you are not. 

If he was tainted he would either be in the Ivory Kingdom *or* I get to behead him - win/win! 

The Spider are a legitimate Clan as per our Empress.  Either you accept her word as the Celestial backed truth it is *or* I get to behead you - win/win!

Plus he does outrank both of us Shosuro-san.

By order of the Empress they are to be treated as any other Clan.  You would not be considering going against the Empress would you, Yoritomo-san?

Daigotsu-sama, welcome to the Legion.  Please make your inevitable betrayal sooner rather than later - my ono is getting bored.

After a decade in the Legion, including during two wars, Wake is used to eating whatever is on hand for rations.  As for preferences - he's quite fond of venison but doesn't expect to find that provided by the Legion.

But I don't wanna marry a Lion... or a guy for that matter... but especially not a Lion.

Stars do not matter
My own or my enemies
Blood for the Empress

I'm glad to see that IC will be allowed but I do want to thank the GMs for including the onsite roller as well.  This is the best of both worlds as when (not if) IC goes down during the game we'll have this to use as well.  But IC does seem a bit easier to work with if only from past experience with it.

Well it's a bit cliche but ikazuchi-gumi would work then for Squad 4 as far as my (very) limited Japanese goes

Well I left my story after the jump vague but I do definitely need to adjust my age then - by 13 years.

I just went from being the youngest PC to the second eldest so far
