Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going
Post by: Hu Rhu on February 03, 2018, 06:46:09 PM: Not for me. Last year was a real turn off with the standard of games being rather poor and almost everyone promoting a 'buy it a box' sort of games. :'( :'( :-[

It can be quite overwhelming the first time. I always make a plan of what I want to see and I still always miss something!

See if dark sphere have the X wing table from last year out, and see if they've out up the sign that says it was "designed and built by alexi and anita"
If they do, could you either grab me a picture or ask them exactly how they built it. lol
Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going

I remember my shock the first year you came all the way from Aus, I was well armed with a slew of Aussie jokes and the only Aussie on the stand lived in London, totally immune by then of course... I have one about a Yorkshire man and a prostitute for you though.
Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going
Post by: vodkafan on March 02, 2018, 10:28:02 AM: Is it just me or has the Salute webpage changed? I can't get any trader information or the map, whereas I could last time I went on it.

But please don't be offended if I don't have time for chat (especially in the morning) as it is mentally busy!
Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going
Post by: has.been on March 15, 2018, 08:11:24 PM: I think Vodkafan has the same problem as I have, that is to say I can't find ANY link between the list of Traders and their (individual)
web sites. If you go back to previous years you can click on the Traders name and go straight to their Web site, but I just can't be
bothered to cross reference between 2018 & say 2014, just to find out who is/is not going to be there.
Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going
Post by: Thargor on March 17, 2018, 08:37:47 PM: They haven't linked the trader list to websites this year... just have to rely on your google fu. I have been working on it for 3 days and have reached F...my shopping list is out of control o_o
Title: Re: Salute 2018 - who is going
