SALUTE
« on: April 22, 2023, 07:32:14 PM »
Damn it …where are the photos?

Previous SALUTE’s have ended in the Fox Pub with such gems as AnEvilGiraffe vowing to build a rotating edible space station…aka… “Kebabylon 5”

Dags… are you hammered … and if not why not?  ;)

Has anyone seen Jim “ these ARE the droids we are looking for” …?

Didn't go mate; had a (minor) knee op on Thursday so Excel and crutches was a non-starter.

Got home an hour ago. The Star Wars game proved really popular, we had a queue of people wanting to play.
I only took one pic of the game and only had one break to go to the toilet, so saw nothing of the show.

Photo's are so 1990s, we were all live-streaming via the cloud.

I know Big Lee reckoned he'd have a slideshow together and uploaded to his channel sometime tonight: https://www.youtube.com/@MiniatureAdventuresTV/about

Get well soon, mate.

Sorry to hear about the knee op mate…but then you are getting old…and I expect on the pain killers that you are a cheap date  ;) lol

Always a good sign Nick, had games like that in the past and incredibly grateful to those that helped out…McFonz …and AlienSurfer… I’m looking at you. The table looks great… look forward to seeing more photos

Yeah, look at you Phil…I expect you even had a digital pint afterwards  ;)  lol

That's an NFT IPA if you're asking.

Oooh. Get at you … a Non-fungible pint of IPA  lol


Sadly I ended up working today … on account of being completely indispensable to the Empire.

Would be good to fit a game in … or even a glass of blue milk, next time you are up this way  ;)

Thanks Phil - some really ambitious looking games there, both in terms of scale and terrain.

Couldn’t agree more … I go to Salute to be inspired … nothing worse than seeing someone turn up with a tatty old cloth and a few carpet tiles for hills to the UK’s largest show  ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed playing a bit of The Mandalorian.
In the pic above I am trying to work out a few complexities of the game:

Does the giant AT-AT crane counts as hard cover? (It did.)
Does that make it a good idea to take a potshot at a Sith Lord? (Very much NO!)

Was a very busy show on a short staffed foundry stand, card machine problems and a 17.5 hour day ! Was really nice to meet up with some laf members who popped over to see me! And I got a quick look at James excellent Star Wars set up looked like a great game! Hopefully next time I might actually get a proper break 😂

Glad you enjoyed the game. We had fun watching everyone get a shock when the Jedi or Sith sent the blaster bolt back at the shooter lol
