Title: Trumpeter Salute 2015, Vancouver BC - 27/28/29 March 2015

The Canadian West Coast's best wargaming show is end of March this year.

I missed last year, for no good reason, but I'll be coming back this year and bringing my 28mm Russian Civil War project with me, using the Chain of Command/Mud & Blood hybrid rules instead of straight M&B this time. At least a couple of Victoria-area friends are likely to be coming over with me.

Bob Murch of Pulp Figures is usually in attendance, with his booth full of pewter awesomeness.

There's a few LAF regulars who also usually make it - Mr. Peabody and a few others.

It's always a good weekend, and especially after missing last year I'm really looking forward to attending this year!

Huzzah! I hope to see you in person this year.

I believe there area couple Pulp games on the schedule. I might still have time to put something together. I think Saturday night still has some space.

One year I will actually be in Vancouver when the show is on - until that time please post plenty of photos

Have a wonderful time.

I'll be there this year for sure Brian. I've missed the last two for no good reason as well. Looking forward to seeing some LAF'ers I don't get to see too often (I'll have to remember to wear the LAFer and Proud button 6mmPhil sent me) and looking forward to seeing Mr Murch. His booth and his game table are always a treat to see up close.

Looking forward to seeing people again, and/or meeting new people for the first time.

My Russian Civil War game is scheduled for Saturday evening, 7 PM slot, so if we don't run into each other before then look for the onion-domed church and come by to say hi.

I'm going to try to get one or two new pieces of scenery done for the RCW setup before Trumpeter. The whole project is at a mature enough stage that I can just run it as-is and it's nice not to have to rush frantically before a convention to get stuff done in time, but I've brought the RCW setup to Trumpter twice now and it'll be fun to have one or two new things to show off!

The RCW game will probably be smaller than previous extravaganza games like 2013's "All The Toys!" setup, partly because Chain of Command is a slightly lower-level game than Mud & Blood in many ways.
