This year a friend of mine accompanied me who knew nothing about war-games. Indeed, the week before he asked me tentatively if he could come and watch a game at some point, because he was interested in finding out more a bout the hobby. I thought to myself, that he should possibly want to come to see Salute, that will give him a better idea about war-games. As you might imagine he was quite surprised by the size and the scale of the whole affair!
In any case here are a few snaps to of some of the games and displays I saw or played in during the day.
An outstanding Early World War II game depicting a German assault on a coastal town
Some shots of Donnington Figures participation game of Agincourt which played by our chums from Central London Wargames Club.
Finally A fun fast and furious medieval game using Osprey's Lion Rampart rules organised by the Blackwolf Wargames Club of Hitchin.
So what did your friend make of it? Was he enticed? If so, by what?
ReplyDeleteHe was very impressed by the range of games and the level of detail in the demo games, he was particularly interested in historic games ancient , American Civil War and World War One. And he is looking forward to attending the show again next year. So I guess he was enticed.
