This year’s Salute (Salute 50<\/a> to give it the correct title) is rapidly heaving into view – happening on Saturday April 22nd, it’s less than three weeks away as we write this. Held once again in the ExCel Centre in London’s Docklands, it’s the largest show that we attend with something like 120+ traders and getting on for 100 games. You’ll find us on stand TE14, which is in pretty much the same place as we’ve been for the past few years. This is the fiftieth edition of the show and the Warlords are apparently planning some special events to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As always, we’re planning to have a number of new releases on the day, and we’ll be previewing those between now and the day. We’re starting today with a pair of spaceships, the first of which is the German Munich class Battleship<\/strong>. This fills the gap between the Pomerania dreadnought and the Thuringen battlecruiser in the German heavy fleets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second of today’s models is the Indonesian Irian class Battleship<\/strong>. The Indonesians are a very popular fleet within our spaceship range, and we thought it was time they got some heavier firepower to back up the existing Borobadur battlecruisers.<\/p>\n

Keep watching for more previews over the next three weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
