Japan: The Island Takeover

The Island Takeover is the Oda Clan's attempts to take over the regions of Kyushu and Shikoku. This was the Oda Clan's first conflict, as well as the first conflict in the Kyushu and Shikoku regions. Winning this would give the Oda Clan a total of about 6.6% of Japan's total land, as well as about 5 retainers if they could be either convinced to join or spared after a takeover.
