Salute 2016 part one

My annual day off, also known as Salute had arrived, and six of us drove down from Norwich to ExCel in London - as is our aim we got there at 10.30am so effectively we avoid the 10am queues, and we walked straight in.

Unfortunately because I had an evening commitment (dinner ball) we knew we needed to leave no later than 2.30pm, so that meant I would need to be clear on what I wanted to buy and see, as four hours is quite short to cover everything at Salute.

It was an excellent event but it was a bit odd in that the theme for this year was steampunk but there was not a lot of steampunk on show.

Hasslefree is always my first port of call but unusually I had not done a pre-order.  Four figures were bought and I show them with my other purchases in another post.

The first table with a game that caught my eye was an American Civil War battle of Antietam

Forty Years War, which apparently is recreation of one their club (Whitehall Warlords) did back in 1976 for Salute!

A Kings of War mass battle run by Chesterfield Gaming Society.

Saga game done by Gripping Beast

Battle of Wilhelmstadt Seven Years War by Bill Gaskin and friends
