Well, it's nearly that time again and I have to make a start (or a continuation) of the Salute board that's planned. 15mm big battles in the shadow of a castle.

It'll be around 7x5 (or 6x4) to allow space for cards around the edge and other paraphernalia.

Here's what I've got so far. I'll need a few more units of course and a few more building bases but the big thing will be a castle in the corner including a tenshu (currently being mastered). The Sanada clan (red) were painted by RJ and the Honda (black and white) by ADC painting. The little base of ronin and commander were painted by me. I can't afford for more to be painted by others though

Not much time left

Ooh, I would never have dared!

I thought it looked very flat, which I suppose is a limitation of the medium. I much prefer my Oshiro resin buildings.

Wiley Games Big Battle rules (proper title as yet undecided). There will be a report or two here before the big day and the game on the day is participation, with Mr Wiley himself in charge

It looks to be based on Hirosaki-jo, which actually burnt down mid 17th century and the one that's there now was reconstructed in 1811 or so. Still, the roof and proportions are totally wrong though (even though the time frame is completely out). Some people like it, others don't. I don't
