But not Salute, it is just too big and too commercial and too expensive for me.<br /><br />I have never liked the "free!" figure they do as well!

All the companies push for it to be a big "Release" date and all the clubs want it to be their show game debut but for me it is a flash in the pan. Worth going to every 3-5 years but not worth the money every year. But I am thrilled if others like it as it really is each to their own. And wargaming is such a large sphere that all are welcome.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-12044561538948947392017-03-20T01:26:38.717-07:002017-03-20T01:26:38.717-07:00Shame about Salute Clint, but hopefully I'll c...Shame about Salute Clint, but hopefully I'll catch up with you at Broadside (depending on my shift pattern).Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-12663353526517668912017-03-19T22:55:41.585-07:002017-03-19T22:55:41.585-07:00Thank you Simon.

As I said it costs me about £40 before I get through the door and I would MUCH rather have the cash in my pocket. Perhaps I am a cheapskate!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-44327770226131289742017-03-19T15:14:21.743-07:002017-03-19T15:14:21.743-07:00"I will not be going to Salute" - Gutted..."I will not be going to Salute" - Gutted.

As I have no other churchills to judge it by I will assume it is 15mm.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-71812421879856093392017-03-19T13:47:33.608-07:002017-03-19T13:47:33.608-07:00Not at Salute?

Too Big, FAR too long a queue, lack of seating, too expensive etc. It means I have spent about £40 BEFORE I get inside the show. For me I would rather spend that money on figures/rules mail order. But I do not condemn any who do like it.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-47298444249922279202017-03-19T12:38:27.440-07:002017-03-19T12:38:27.440-07:00Sorry to hear that you are not going to be at Salu...Sorry to hear that you are not going to be at Salute Clint, it is always a pleasure to catch up.

I know the Spanish Civil war is often looked on as being a poor mans WW2 and as such has less appeal. But for me that is not the case.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-49989385287244303722017-03-19T10:44:23.740-07:002017-03-19T10:44:23.740-07:00Well a free tank is not to be sniffed at and new r...Well a free tank is not to be sniffed at and new rules to test.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.com
