Salute wargames show

Paul,

Excellent photographs.

Regards

It was so good to look at I forgot to ask how long it took to resolve each move for the Battle of Blenheim game?

At the moment there are close ups of various game action on the Salute site:

Hey Les, what the heck was this:

WW2 Horror again, hapless German Panzergrenadiers are zapped by UFO with mend-bending consequences.
Bonkers!
Was this in the God's Own Scale? It looks like it If I painted a Maus I suppose I could paint a Fliegenderplatte or two

I suppose you people had great fun! But where is Phil the Victorian?

 

Yep it was odd, and I think the game m/c was on an acid trip...

 

This is the sort of alternative reality they have written rules for:
Haunebu IIA + Panzer Turret 1/600 Scale Resin model - MAJIC Miniatures Online Warehouse
I rest my case...

 

What happened to you Phil? We looked for the Fez!?

We were there from the off. Almost signed up for the London Marathon, purely by accident I swear, which was registering next door. Was in the first fifty in via the queue busters queue, went straight to Hasslefree -bottom left corner on the map, and spent the rest of the day marching up and down the ranks in a methodical way, well kind of.

Had quite a few folk spot us though, all charmers. Slug spanked one hundred quid- all his own earnings, mainly on WW2 figures. I bought mainly VBCW, and some modern Brits plus some Eureka US Marine recon because they were just so finely crafted and can be painted up as Brits.

Really a lot to get in in one day, took very few pictures. We ended the day playing a couple of games, the funniest being the RAF wargame club doing a kind of hunt the Terry quickie which was very well run, and so enthusiastically it rubbed off. Left about half four.

I loved that Blenheim game, I spotted the Duke Of Marlborough but couldn't find Prince Eugene, I should've asked.

I heard he got stuck on the M25.

 

"Hunt the Terry"?

 

Thanks for the photos

Cheers
Paul

 

Owen - et al -

I think I would prefer to fight those Tigers and Panthers at your show with my six pounder than the ones we had in '43-44.....

Great pictures
Cheers -

 

"Hunt the Terry"?

Yes Terry Taliban...

Slug really enjoyed this one because three of his squad had Minimis (m249) and they held the trigger on for the entirity of the game.

Hopefully he'll develop into a more mature gamer like his old man, I think my highlight was beating up a small fantasy army controlled by an eight-year-old.

Oh and hurrah for Whitstable & Herne Bay club winning best participation game with that kamikaze game.

Oh and not to forget Joe's annual total salute photo walkthrough which you'll find here; WARGAMES SOCIETY :: View topic - SALUTE 2010 Walkthrough (Joe's Pics) – PART ONE

 

The sandy chaps need to get their panels up Owen or they'll be getting an unwanted visit from the A-10 boys.

Cracking models. Some skillful and very patient folks there.

Kind regards, always,

Jim.
