Inspiring Counterattack Achievement

**Bacon!** · April 13, 2011, 02:09 PM

Hey all

Been trying to get this achievement in a custom battle by using alot of ashigaru units and
giving the enemy enough matchlock troops until my troops rout then use my rally ability.
About 5-10 of my troops are routing at the same time and my general is right next to them,
so anyone got any idea while this isnt working for me?

Also if anyone else has got this achievement how did you get it?

Thanks Bacon!

I got it via a multiplayer match. I'm pretty sure my enemy actually used the Rally ability and I have no Idea why I got it. It's probably bugged

got it in SP campaign, was an insane battle that I should not have won, I hit rally with the entire remnant of my army in a meleeball and it popped up.

anyone know if its even possible to get this achievement in custom battle?

EDIT: also do you get the achievement message when you rally the men or at the end of the battle?

I got mine after the battle.

It's usually after the battle. I don't think achievements work for the custom battle. A case in point would be the achivement you get for winning a battle with only hero units and a general. I tried this out in custom battle mode, as I wanted to see the hero abilities (as I have yet to get a hero unit in campaign). I won the battle but didn't get the achievement. I think they only work for campaign, multiplayer and historical battles.

This was one of the first achievments I recieved, I felt quite proud of it. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe what I did was when the battle was going poorly for my side and one of my ashigaru units looked like they were going to flee (small flashing white flag) I used the rally button. Then several of my units routed, but checked themselves and returned to the fray while my general held his ground, unmounted. I could be wrong, but perhaps the rally effect is a timed thing, like the other buffs your general can call upon? So if you time it right, units that rout after you've already pressed the rally button, will still be within it's sphere and timeframe.

I just had a look at the replay in which I got the Achievemnt (of that I'm 99% sure) and I never actually used the rally ability, but my enemy did it, but I still go the achievement. I think MP mixes up some of those effects; the best part was when I got the achievemnt for winning against a CA Member, which was awarded to both players in that game
