We hope to bump into you during our travels! Don’t hesitate to say hi!

I couldn’t help getting a look at some of the awesome gaming tables being set up. This one, the Retreat To The Dnieper, is a neat-looking game that shows off a blasted city! I love seeing tables like this coming together!

Another one from the South London Warlords. They have some impressive tables set up in the middle of the hall. This one follows Wellington In India and is a tribute to Stuart Asquith.

The miniatures look stunning, the terrain is impressive and it really creates a sense of scale. It’s always nice to see finished miniatures but even better to see them introduced onto a battlefield like this.

Each year the South London Warlords run the Painting competition at Salute.

It’s attracted a higher and higher level of skill as the years have gone on, while this is a serious competition we should not forget this is also a bit of fun for anyone at Salute to enter.

Something a bit different! This is an awesome, slightly larger scale game, which features The Battle For Mexico in 1915.

I always like this kind of thing, messing around with larger scales. It works specifically well for those who want to dive into participation games.

We stopped off with the folks from Uncertain Scenery to talk about their fantastic terrain. You might remember that we talked about them as part of an Indie Of The Week.

They have some really fun terrain that is perfect for skirmish games and other tabletop games where a strong narrative is key.

Here is a brief look at what’s already in the cabinet, starting with Category 1. Historical Wargames Single figure: Infantry or Cavalry – Up to and including 54mm

We sit down with Loke BattleMats to talk through some of the awesome Battle and Gaming Mats that they have been working on. There are loads of awesome Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk options.

We stopped off with the RAF Wargaming Association, which is a bit of a tradition now, and check out the wargame they have set up for people to play.

This time around they put together a fantastic game of Subbuteo set during World War I. So, you can follow the players from Britain and Germany clashing in the trenches…over a lovely game of football.

Pew Pew, Category 4. Science Fiction Single Figure up to and including 54mm Scale

Category 9. Fantasy Creatures or Vehicles, which can be a creature or vehicle of any size, and may include up to 3 pieces.

An absolutely immense gaming table from the Loughton Strike Force. This is the battle for Stalingrad in 15mm, playing out the Fire On The Volga.

As you can see, this comes all the way up from the water and into the town, playing out a cracking clash between the different forces. It also features some amazing terrain.

Are you looking forward to the new Fantasy wargame they have been working on?

Category 11 ‘Miscellaneous Class’ allows any figure or unit, typically not covered by the categories, and includes dioramas.

We delve back into the World Of Twilight. These are some fantastic-looking miniatures from a unique world. The miniatures are stunning and there are some great tabletops inspired by it too.

Are you someone who has been drawn into this strange and whimsical world?

I am a sucker for armies that feature a bunch of phalanx. See what you make of this battle for Paraitacene during 317 BC. This features a clash between Eumenes Vs Antigonus in 28mm using the Impetus rules.

Are you someone who likes playing games based around this particular time period? Have you had some fun playing participation games like this at events like Salute?
