Yeah, I was wrong about the counterattack not taking the 1/2 HP max into account, it does.

However, the other thing here is that seem to have video evidence of the other mechanic that affects Motonari when defending from a magic attack or a counterattack (but does not affect physical attack) - he only takes a maximum of his troop size in damage, except it gets applied to HP.

So if he has 5 troops, he'll never take more than 5 HP damage from a magic attack (including miko storm) or counterattack damage. He'll still take over 5 HP damage if it's a physical attack against him though. AliceSoft seems to have caught the bug on pysical, but not tested the magic or counterattack scenarios.
