Here are a random collection of photographs from Salute 52 in April, in some of the post show analysis the show was described as the best ones yet. Judging from the buzz around the show, the wide range of games on display and to participate in we are spoilt for choice when it comes to scratching that gaming itch.
Although it should be noted that the demographic of the traders is changing and it appears to be a younger crowd with a more eclectic mix of games ranging from skirmishes to games involving all manner of things. I suspect some of the older traders more established lead figure traders are heading toward retirement and doing less shows these days. Despite this, the vibrancy of younger traders brings new ideas into the hobby and this is without doubt a good thing. I even ran into Dave from the Effekt Podcast, running the Free League stand, which was great. Although it might be a stretch to describe him has young! (Sorry Dave.)
We were treated to a wide range of games from all sort of periods including Commando raids, Scandinavian 19th Century. Ken Reilly of Yarkshire Gamer fame and his Battle of Mentana game (below) I am always drawn to the Papal States units with there splendid flags.
The Luftwaffe Airfield for the solo LRDG game DAK Attack.
