All good, didn’t like it banking side to side… or the two attempts at landing.

Just imagine you’re in a rollercoaster 😉
Besides …
any landing you can walk away from is a good one 😀

Better two attempts than one complete and utter failure.

Love that Frostgrave table. Looking forward to the coverage. Always so much to see so I’ll be interested to see what cool stuff you find that we haven’t seen before.

Is this a bit like the British version of Adepticon?

Kinda of but much different. Think of the vendor area at Adepticon but 10 times bigger. Throw in full size demo tables in between in the aisles. That is Salute, no tournaments​ or big games. Mostly sales. It is an amazing experience and we really enjoy it. We are really sad we are not this year. It is worth the trip from the States. The Backstage meet up is always a great time. I highly recommend it to anyone.
