It’s March 11th – which means that the 2026 edition of Salute (or Salute 53<\/a> as it’s now branded) is exactly one calendar month away. As you can imagine, preparations are reaching fever pitch here at Brigade HQ and we are *checks notes* miles behind and beginning to panic (that this is being posted at sometime past 11pm tells you something…).<\/p>\n

For once we have played along with the topic of the show this year, which is cavalry. This theme will run through a number of the new releases that we have planned for April (although by no means all of them). We’ll start showing these off soon – we have two more regular Friday releases lined up, once those are out of the way then the previews will begin.<\/p>\n

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

If you’d like to place an order for collection at the show then we’re already open for those. We’ve set up a ‘Collect at Salute 2026<\/strong>‘ shipping option for a number of the closer European countries (plus the USA, in case anyone is flying over) so that you can place an order to pick up on the day – if your homeland doesn’t have this option yet, let us know and we’ll add it for you, it would take us too long to add it individually for every country. For reasons to do with the way the website handles VAT, overseas orders have to be paid for up front; UK customers can still place orders to be collected and paid for at the show. Alternatively, you can drop us an email or message us on the various socials with your wishlist or even (as one enterprising customer has just done) write us a letter.<\/p>\n

Also – and this is important – don’t forget to visit the club to which we both belong, Maidstone Wargames Society, and play their excellent ‘Labyrinths of Mars’ game.<\/p>\n
