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.

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 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.

See what you make of them and make sure to take a peek at the Blue Nebula Kickstarter soon.

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.

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?

I found it awesome that we had some folks putting together a bit of 54mm Inquisitor here at Salute. It’s ace that people are not only still playing the game but coming up with ways to add more characters into the mix.

Inquisitor was certainly one of those bold experiments by Games Workshop that didn’t quite work out. Did you have loads of the miniatures?

A collection of gentlefolk have put together some rules and a rather nifty campaign system for playing out The Year Of Liberty and The Irish Rising of 1798.

This has then come together as a rather fun participation game here at the event which features some stunning-looking terrain. I love anything that has a proper castle in it and looks anywhere near a siege!

Another interesting one that I bumped into today. This comes from The Continental Wars Society who played out the Fight At Bronnzell.

This is a fight that played out in 1850 between the Prussians and the German Confederation of Bavaria and Austria. It was another one of those that looked like a fun spectacle and showed off some interesting forces for a conflict I had little knowledge of.
