So … four more sleeps to Salute !<\/p>\n

One of the downsides to running a trade stand at a show, especially one as busy as Salute<\/a>, is that we don’t get much of a chance to wander round, chat to other traders and games, and also to see the games on offer. <\/p>\n

However, this year I will be making a beeline to see one of the largest games planned for this year’s show, in fact one of the largest games we’ve ever seen; South London Warlords’ Route 66<\/a><\/em> game. This 36-foot long extravaganza is a 15mm SF game depicting the famous Hammers Slammer mercenary unit attempting to break through to a starport on Cullen\u2019s World.<\/p>\n

We recently sent some of our new PacFed models to John Treadaway, one of the co-authors of the Hammers Slammers Crucible<\/a> ruleset, and he’s worked overtime to get them onto the table for Saturday, along with hundreds of other models from other manufacturers. He’s been kind enough to send us a few photos of the (almost) complete models and has let us use post here ahead of the day. So if you’re at Salute, make a beeline for the game, have a long look (you can join in) and then you can wander back over to us to buy some \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
