Historical Description
"Ashigaru' are Japanese infantry. Originally armed with polearms or spears and swords, by the 16th century they were equipped with matchlocks, known as 'tanegashima.' While the Japanese 'yumi' (bows) of the era were superior in virtually every way to these early firearms, a soldier could be trained to use a matchlock in a fraction of the time it took to learn how to fire a bow, and this would prove to be a decisive advantage."

Attacking Strategies
- If used in large groups; Ashigaru can be devastating and can destroy a base easily; if not in heavy fire.
- Mortars are devastating against Ashigaru and can kill a group of them in a few hits if in the range of the impact. Spread your Ashigaru around so the mortar would have to hit each Ashigaru to kill it and that its impact would not affect other Ashigaru as well or deploy a few heavy cavalry to destroy it.
- Use ranged infantry such as musketeers to support Ashigaru.
- Ashigaru can be used as a distraction for many defenses and can help protect ranged infantry such as musketeers from heavy fire from defenses.
