Shopping list for Salute
« on: April 04, 2013, 08:05:10 AM »
I just don't have one this year :o. I've preordered very few bits so far, but I just don't know what else I want/need.   Has anyone else got this problem? 

Can I blame Kickstarter?  Fewer manufacturers seem to have anything shiny/new coming out.  After all like most war gamers, shiny and new normally means I'll buy the rule book at least
Smile!  It's not that bad!

Lots I want just need to see how the funds go. In order of priority:
Crooked Dice not Blakes 7 figures
Fenris Cthulhu and Griffin House
A few Artizan WWII figs
Red Star French Indochina (added to list last night, if they are available)
And I am sure to be distracted by other shiny things.

My list keeps growing then shrinking as I try to cut out "unnecessary" items but five minutes later I've added something else
Decided that I'm only going to preorder the bits I want from Crooked Dice and then the other things on my list I'll pick up if nothing else shiny takes my money first  ;)

deciding to do Game of Thrones in 15mm would be fine,
but you've just got to have 7 armies (and the rest)

First stop Wargamer for By Fire & Sword, and of course I "have" to buy some figures too (actually, they're my one and only preorder, and already paid for sneakily out of paypal rather than Salute funds   :D )

Being very suggestible when it comes to new projects and having been listening to 'God's Revolution' on BBC R4Extra I'm thinking of starting ECW again, this time in 15mm, in which case a visit to Peter Pig will be in order.

Other than that, no list, but that's ok - can just browse and pick up what takes my fancy, until I realise I've spent too much  ;)

Re- wrote my Salute list several times.
Finally made some pre-orders with my favourite traders Gripping Beast/Musketeer, Redoubt, Scheltrum, Westwind.
Keeping the rest for impulse buys.

Perrys 8th Army - if they're ready...
Maybe that new pack of Perry Italian heavy infantry with poleaxes...
Flowering tufts.
Some more hedgerows.
Hmmm... Can't think of anything else right now. Very abstemious, eh?

I'm sure some other goodies will take my fancy on the day though... They usually do  :)
