Well done Maggot. I couldn't have sum up the technology of it better myself.

The problem is, the Japanese, as horse archers, when handled with competence, could throw volley fires of arrows at the knights as the later could not keep up in speed. Victory would depend on fighting the enemy at the time and place of your choosing and having superior men, not gear.

If it's up to me, the Spanish tercio would have kicked both of their aristocratic asses.
