Thank you to everyone who came and saw our game at #Partizan yesterday! It was great fun to bring a bit of the #SALUTE magic north of the Watford gap.

There have been some brilliant pictures of SALUTE 52, thank you to all who tagged us, and our volunteers have now decided on the winner of our picture competition! Congratulations to Marc Brewer for snapping these wonderful photos of his wife (Pippa) and son (Ted) at SALUTE 52!

Attention! We have received reports that many of our SALUTE 52 visitors have felt the urge to start new projects and this could be a symptom of the “Hobby Bug”. Other symptoms might include: - Miniatures on your kitchen table - Compulsions to build new terrain - Sharing pictures from SALUTE

youtube.com/watch?v=W9Bv... This video really highlighted the best aspect of Salute for me. Ignore the fact that I am wilfully misbehaving throughout and check out the youngsters enjoying What a Tanker on Joe’s amazing table. Having fun with wargaming is what we’re all about.

What great things did you find at #SALUTE52? Our volunteers are still recovering, but we will shortly be adding up all our coverage of SALUTE 52 onto our website along with a feedback form so you can tell us how we did!

Thanks to everyone who came and played Mars Defends at #Salute52. We had players from 7 to 70 and I think everyone had a great time. Huge thanks to @slondonwarlords.bsky.social without whom there would be no Salute. And thanks to @bagder-lf.bsky.social who was on a beach. 🤣 See you all next year!

Well @slondonwarlords.bsky.social Salute 52 is all done and had an absolute blast. Wallet took some damage though 😂. The painting comp was amazing and although I didn't place just seeing something I painted in a cabinet next to some stunning minis was well worth it. #salute52

Had a brilliant time at my first @slondonwarlords.bsky.social Salute with @admcc.bsky.social. Got a nice haul of goodies and was so good to speak with the lovely @roguehobbies.bsky.social and @sixdiceskills.bsky.social I forgot to ask for a pic but hopefully next time! 😊 #salute52

PACKING HEAT A small skirmish game designed for the wild West, Prohibition era, The World wars, and even modern street fighting. A small but characterful display. #Salute52

Butchers & Bolt presenting Operation grey den A fantastic recreation of a Uboat Dock. Can the commandos sneak in a cripple the Uboats before the alarm is raised? Or will the dogs catch them? #Salute52

Soldiers of Napoleon. I’m not a fan but they are popular at our club. Nice busy table top for a Napoleonic game. #Salute25 #Wargaming

My quick take on the Salute 2025 show in London today. With 113 games and 130 trade stands, this is easily the biggest wargame show in the UK. Some cracking games. #Salute25 #Wargaming

What a Tanker! Caen 1944. #Salute25

The Warsaw Uprising presented by Loughton Strike Force. It won best of show. 28mm game using O Group. #Salute52 #wargaming

Warsaw Uprising 1944 was worthy winner of Best Game at #salute52. Superb setup created by Standbo. #wargames #wargaming

Somehow I took lots of footage and photos but none of myself except my initial Selfie... 🤣 @slondonwarlords.bsky.social Salute 52 was mega! I'll do a video in the week of my experiences and what its encouraged of me. Now to sleep a bucket 🥰

Salute has come and gone and a great day was had by all. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the game and thanks to South London Warlords for hosting the event and awarding us with most innovative game! @badbabybunny.bsky.social @slondonwarlords.bsky.social #salute52 #marsdefends

Some photos of the Oosterbeek Laag build. 36 hours in and the topographical is coming together. Tomorrow afternoon I’m due to hand it on to Nick who’ll be adding the buildings. I am utterly bloody knackered and enjoying this about as much as having hot coals shoved up my jacksy.

Two Epic scale 3D printed French Caissons from Kiwikane (on eBay)

Beneventum/Maleventum 275BC terrain all set up now and save for a bit of scatter I think I’m satisfied it’ll look ok for Salute 2025. #spreadthelard

If you come to GL05 at #Salute52 you will get more than the best participation game, on the best board, in the best corner of the show. We have Flying Saucers! #MarsDefends @slondonwarlords.bsky.social

"But what’s likely to happen is that the demagogue will start making mistakes, because incompetence is built into the nihilistic project. Nihilists can only destroy, not build. Authoritarian nihilism is inherently stupid."

I absolutely love working with offcuts Not only do I use my own, I buy them from sawmills to avoid them going in the fire Not only is it super sustainable, it also means you get stuff made from some amazing materials at bargain prices These brush rests will be at @slondonwarlords.bsky.social

It's just 4 days until SALUTE 52 and we just can't wait to welcome you all to the show! We've got 149 of your favourite traders and 105 awesome games ready for you to join in with!

My new wargames rules "Heiho, The Art of War" are being released at the "Salute" games convention in April. There will be both a book available from Helion Books, but also a boxed set by the miniatures company "Wargames Atlantic", which will include the rules and entire army sets in 10mm.
