Salute 2013.

A few of us attended Salute at the Excel in London and it proved to be another good day. All the usual suspects were there but unfortunately there was not SEEMS representation this year. One of the centre-piece games was the South London Warlords own 'Fleeced' games tying in with the loose theme of the show, Jason and the Argonauts. The game looked great fun and was fought using 1/6 scale figures with amazing looking skeletons.

A particular favourite of mine was the 3D version of the classic Snits Revenge board game by Tom Wham, designer of The Awful Grenn Things From Outer Space.

The day managed to slip away very quickly but I did spend more time just gawking at the amazing games and less shopping. I had some great chats with some of the guys running games and a very interesting discussion with the designer for Sarissa Precision - the new 'Gaslamp Alley' buildings are lovely and I can't wait to pick up some of these.

 I picked up the new Crooked Dice 7th Voyage book plus I added a few packs of the lovely Foundry Argonauts to my current handful from the Wargames Foundry stall and very nice they were too!
