And as is tradition, I got myself down to London for a weekend of tourism and looking at the usual impressive selection of wargames goods that appear at the show. And, <a href=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/2019\/04\/08\/wargaming-week-08-04-2019\/\">as you can see in the last Wargaming Week<\/a>, I bought a few things from the usual suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1228\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_113622-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_113622-1.jpg 1228w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_113622-1-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1228px) 100vw, 1228px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After having pre-ordered the important stuff that I knew would probably run out, I decided to take a more <g class=\"gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"4\" data-gr-id=\"4\">leisurely<\/g> start to the day at Salute. As someone who isn&#8217;t a huge fan of playing demo games at shows (I prefer my wargaming slightly slower paced and without being concerned at making sure I&#8217;m not missing something else) I usually burn through everything by lunch. So rather than waiting in the queue for the mad crush, I decided to casually stroll in later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104028-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104028-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104028-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a turn of events that will shock exactly no one, my first stop was to the Spectre Miniatures who this year were right inside the door. After picking up my order and marvelling how quick the vultures had picked it clean of all the new stuff, I had a look at their demo game you can see above. Using the Black Site Studios buildings on a battle mat, they had a cool scenario with Russian agents trying to reclaim a cold war weapons cache clashing with US operatives. Overall, it seemed busy all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104339-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C933&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104339-scaled.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_104339-scaled-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick drop in to Studio Miniatures was next and it was for exactly this picture. I&#8217;m still incredibly proud of the work we did on Plausible Deniability and seeing it available at Salute was a very strange thrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_123405-1-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_123405-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_123405-1-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another quick drop in was to see Supreme Littleness Designs, my local MDF wizard. More importantly, I wanted to see this little beauty he had talked to me about &#8211; a colonial fort. I can see it appearing in an upcoming game or two so watch this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_111321-e1554808235120-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11773\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And then I got to the White Dragon Miniatures stall and my wallet suddenly became lighter. First up, their new Taliban figures looks exceptional. I have a pile of them on my desk at home and I can&#8217;t wait to get them painted up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"white_dragon\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_111310-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_111310-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_111310-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a show without some previews and White Dragon brought along a future range &#8211; the IDF!

Walking the hall, my eyes were soon drawn to the familiar tan and roadways of Afghanistan. Moving closer, I was even more surprised to see British troops running around the classic scene, crossing over the canal and moving towards the compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game, Operation Panther&#8217;s Claw, was being run by the Whitehall Warriors and to my surprise were using Skirmish Sangin! They explained a few tweaks they had made to make it play more easily with full fire teams but honestly I just love how the board looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_115800-1-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_115800-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20190406_115800-1-scaled-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A sight any Modern wargamer would be jealous of &#8211; a true vehicle pool just waiting for the British to roll onto the board.

Each of the civilian vehicles actually have accurate number plates for the type of vehicle, with a mix of Pakistani and Afghan registrations to really set the scene. I really like this little detail, even if very few people would actually recognise it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I really enjoy coming down to Salute.
