Yes, I'm getting this in early in an attempt to keep it upto date as much as possible.

Following on from last years battle (piccies shown below) the fight has moved more into the town and is now outside the main walls.

Fortunately, all the town is done so all I have to do is make a castle gate and he start of a tenshu with a few ancillary buildings thrown in. The exact layout is yet to be decided but with over 30 Japanese castle books I'll not be wanting for inspiration  :)

The other main change is that it will be more of a demo game using a mod for Sharp Practice and utilising singles figures in units of around eight to 12-14. This will also be recorded here as I still want to keep a lot of my collection on multi bases but I will also be painting new figures etc... So watch this space  :)






cheers

James

Superb. I booked the wrong weekend's hotel for Salute like a duffer. Trying to get it amended but the weekend of Salute is the London Marathon and all hotels are more expensive  >:(

Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Thanks chaps  :)

Although that was last years set up I'm hoping next years will be better  :)

Rebased some of my samurai a while ago so I'll post them here as they will be used on the day.

A Miyoshi unit



And a Murakami one



I think I'll have to give them another coat of varnish though  :?

cheers

Thanks chaps  :)

No buildings for a while but I'm rebasing a lot of figures and intend to start quite a few 'fresh' ones over the next few weeks as and when I'm able.

cheers

Please keep updating the pictures here when you do so. Would love to see more. If I can get to Salute this year I will be seeking out your display. Is display the right word?
