Clifford's Battle

Besides fighting and refighting the 1615 Battle of Dōmyōji and working on the rebasing of my 28mm WotR project throughout June and July, I manage to push out an additional contingent for the WotR project.

Mustering out today is Clifford's Battle consisting of the three battle lines, one line each of archers (20 figures), billmen (14 figures), and Men-at-arms (13 figures).  Yes, bases are still configured into BMUs of figures yielding similar weapons.  That is, archers in one BMU of two stands, billmen in one BMU of two stands, MAA in one BMU of two stands.  Figures are all Perry Miniatures plastics.

The rebasing project is nearing completion.  Only a couple of Battles left to convert.  Once finished, it may be time for a parade and an explanation of my rebasing madness.

In the category of something you don't see every day, I came upon this sight while out on the bike one morning.  Now, we like to complain about potholes in these parts, but this sight takes "pothole" to a new level.  As seen in the photo above, the inattentive driver drove his car around the "Road Closed" barricade and straight into a reconstruction trench!  That is about a two-foot drop from street level.  Ouch!  The driver had his trunk open and was quietly removing items from the trunk and placing them beside the car.  I was tempted to stay to watch the extraction but had to be on my way.  Be careful out there!
