Armored conquistadors venture into Asia and battle against the famed samurai of Japan. These engagements include the Portuguese 1565 battle at Fukuda Bay and the Spanish 1582 Cagayan battles, in the Philippines. There are myths and counter-myths commonly spread about the Cagayan battles, which I’ve explained a bit here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11...

Blair, E. H., & Robertson, J. A. (1903). The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Vol. 34). Clark. The "Province of Cagayan" section includes the Relation of the Philipinas account, believed to be written within five years of the battle.

Ibid. (Vol. 5). Clark. Retrieved 2022, from https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/.... Includes accounts from Juan Baptista Roman and the Governor Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa, the two primary sources closest to the Cagayan battle

Ibid. (Vol. 30). Clark. Includes the Aduarte (1640) account of Cagayan. Likely not very trustworthy with regard to specific details, but the notes on Filipino opposition to both Japanese and Spanish presence are an interesting insight gathered from here.
