The Crab are on the move, with one army reportedly marching on the Crane at Seawatch Castle, and another marching west over the Tidal Landbridge. Some say they are marching home to meet the Scorpion invasion; others believe it is in response to rumors of oni lords stirring in the Shadowlands. ![](http://www.esteemedhouse.com/ee/images/Action/HirumaAkioXP.jpg) Results of Crab War Council (2012): Actions lobbying to Defend the Homeland | 3295 (36%) | Actions lobbying to Hold the City | 2598 (28%) | Actions lobbying to Attack the Crane | 3259 (35%) |
This was such a close result (only 36 votes difference), and has been very close for a couple weeks. As a result, it seemed to make the most sense to have the Crab try to both defend their homeland and attack the Crane.

Well, if anyone can pull it off...
Of course the Crane and Scorpion have had time to prepare and will probably be ready for them.

Two Claw Crab Attack!
I feel this will not bode well for them.

Crab allies get in the battle!
Oni lords on one side and making sure the right emperor is on the throne i heavy work, share it with us!
PS: Joji recommends some taint to give you the stamina and strength to prevail!

Good stuff Jay, this looks very much like the Crab clan to me! Not sure that bodes well for them, though...

They'll have to choose where to focus their actions anyway and, according to the descriptions, it does look like the bulk of the Crab forces went back to their lands. Guess its time to show the Crab the new import product that just arrived at Clear Water Village, gaijin pepper! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

They do it sideways and with two opponents at the same time?

Updated: added "not Lion clan" as a restriction to the attack actions at Seawatch Castle, reflecting the current truce between Lion and Crane.

Now that I've seen the actions available at Seawatch, I've been thinking, shouldn't the Crane have the advantage there (by which I mean more actions)? The Crane army has just repelled the Mantis with no significant losses and, due to the "peace agreement" with the Lion, their forces had a long time to rest and replenish, represented by the conscripting actions in both Kyuden Otomo and Seawatch. Even if they're not exactly masters of siege warfare, and the Crab is, the Crane has its whole force available to defend the castle while the Crab has just decided to split its own army in a very dubious maneuver. What does everyone think? Anyway, thanks for adding the prohibitive text to the Lions Jay. And my lovable birdies, when will the war effort to retake Lonely Shore City begin? Now that I'm on the infamy path, I've been itching to use some pepper ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

...It would be neat if they have an option to bypass clearwater village and get back to the wall to stop the oni lords. However, I doubt that will happen. I'm just hoping that the two battles don't start at the same time, I figure there's no hope that they won't be ongoing at the same time.
