There is much to moan about with regards to Salute but there are a number of advantages as well. What follows is a few games which caught my eye for different reasons. To me the best game of the show. The guys from Jersey put on a very nice Flames of war game. The board really did look spectacular.

| 10mm WWi Bloody Picnic Rules . I Do like 10mm figures But found the terrain to be very club level. |
 |
| The spice must flow. |
 |
| SCW GAme I had high hopes for it from the pre show list, but It fails to deliver to the same standard of many other games there. |

| Martian 28mm VSF What's not to like. |
So there it is a very personal view of the games of Salute this year. I hope a little for everyone. Generally speaking very little there that cannot be seen on others blogs.
The two games I had the highest hopes for and the other games that caught my eye.
And Finally The real high light of the show for me getting to meet the other bloggers.
Nice shots - some tables do seem worse than what we use for our games at club. Who am I to judge, but I've always figured the whole purpose of show games is to come out stunning. I know for Fenris game it had to be much better than it shows, as I really loved the WIP shots :D
ReplyDeleteHas Dave put on weight and let his hair grow, or that's not him on the photo? :D
At least you are still the same! :P
Yes there was a huge difference between some games and others.
DeleteAs for Dave, yes that's him alright.
Thank you Mathyoo.
Yes I'm the tubby head between Carl and Tasmin lol
DeleteWhy have you left yourself go like that, Dave? :D :D
DeleteSteady Mathyoo.
DeleteNice pics Clint and yes agrde that some of thr games didnt give that wow feeking or live upto expectations. That said some were amazing. As for a scruffy bunch, speak for yourself I had a shave haha
ReplyDeleteI had a shave as well this week! Thanks Carl
DeleteCouldn't make it this year so thanks for sharing Clint, much appreciated
ReplyDeleteThanks Ad hope we shall meet next time out then.
DeleteSalute is just too big to get everything so I just went with what I thought was the most interesting (at least to me). Thank you Loki, have you recovered yet!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, isn't it? I was at the same show, yet I don't recognise maybe 1/3 of those tables at all. There really was too much to take in!
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same when I look at others blogs. It is a huge show, Perhaps too big! You just don't see it all. Thank you Hugh.
DeleteSpeak for yourself I'm a handsome fecker and Ray should have stood head on!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely handsome on the inside mate. Nice one Fran.
ReplyDeleteGreat report Clint!!! The words handsome & Fran should never be spoken or written in the same sentence!!!
DeleteSome nice pics Clint,
ReplyDeleteDefinitely too much there to take in! I'm surprised you didn't get to check out one of the zombie games, well have to make an effort on that front next year
Other than 7TV I did not find any Zombie games on the day.... I think I dipped out! Yeah Next year we'll have to play one together! Thank you Dave.
DeleteA nice collection of pics, Clint. As for good looks, as an ugly bugger myself I always think what is on the inside is far more important than what's on the outside.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned I think we all have an inner Beauty! I also think it's far more important that physical looks. Thank you Bryan.
DeleteI like the Martian 28mm VSF the best. Such style.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice pic of you guys and thanks for posting it!
That Martian VSF game was there last year as well. Next year they are looking to expand it into an "L" shaped table with more town and less of a fort.
DeleteAs for the last picture do not print it off and pin it to a dart board. Thank you Anne.
Cool photos. Looks like it was a great day.
ReplyDeleteGreat bunch of bloggers in that last shot.
cheers
Thank you Kiwi. Meeting the bloggers was definitely the best part of my day.
DeleteFrom various reports about Salute this year it seems to have been good and bad in roughly equal portions. It is of course still just a big trade fair really.
ReplyDeleteE|ven though I wasn't there I do now have more Halloween material to scare children with.
Very witty Joe! You may even scare some adults as well.
DeleteYou are right about it being good and bad in equal measure. Spot on mate. Could not have put it better myself.
A nice set of photos there! I know the chaps from Jersey and they will be chuffed that you liked their game (it's the their first at a mainland show).
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again and thanks again for the fudge!
I spoke to one of the Jersey guys and he was a terribly nice chap. I think there game looked really good.
DeleteAlways good to see you. The next fudge event will be Broadside. Hope to see you there. Thank you AL
