And assuming they have to take them from soldiers (rather than just buying them), creating some reason for soldiers to have to patrol a tightly build-up area or dense bush and ambushing them would be one way of doing this. It plays to the samurai's strengths (close combat), while negating the soldier's (massive ranged fire-power). The master tactician's Tactics roll might be suffering significant penalties due to the general imbalance of the forces, but that's why he bought Tactics-24 - it lets him soak a lot of penalties and still be nearly certain to beat your average professional with Tactics-12.
