Well after the slew of blog posts on the subject
of Salute I felt it would only be right to jump on the band wagon a write
something myself. Albeit if slightly later than most.
On arrival Phil, my companion for the day and I felt a little like royalty,
having advance tickets we were whisked past the queues straight in, a benefit of
advance booking. I was pleased my moment of organisation in an otherwise
chaotic life paid off.
I never fail to be astounded by the huge variety of games on display and the
very high standards of painting and building being exhibited. A portion of
those that caught my eye can be seen below.
It was nice to bump into some CLWC members
including Tamsin while I was getting some more dead guys from the Donnington
stand to add to the ones that Seb gave me before Easter, thanks Seb. I expect
they'll get plenty of use considering the way I am playing currently!
Furthermore, I got myself set of long hankered
after Blitzkrieg Commander rules and some more 6mm stuff to inspire me to
renovate the bits I found in the back of the cupboard recently. I was impressed
by seeing some of the Cold War Commander games that have been going on at CLWC
recently to motivate me to get my 6mm stuff painted up and ready for action
once I have finished my Imperial Romans of course.
In any case, it was a very enjoyable outing a delight to be
able to see so much inspiring stuff. Of course, many thanks to the organisers,
exhibitors and traders whose contributions made it a most enjoyable day.
