Beside West Wind my other "must go to" stand was the Wargamer.pl stand where the By Fire & Sword pre-release rules were being sold in a very limited number. I was eager to meet Konrad and Rafal, the two writers and creators of By Fire & Sword, as well as to meet Michal "Kadrinazi" who has a great blog on this historical period in which the game takes place.

It was great to see the enthusiasm of the guys as well as the customers. The rulebook itself was just amazing, I had been having waited for this day for over a year and my friends Christian and Andreas were equally enthusiastic. We also bought a copy for our friend Thomas back home (Patrik at the club wants to wait until Brandenburg is released, and David was strapped for cash at the moment so will buy it later).

Konrad, the Wargamer.pl manager was dressed for the occasion as a Polish renaissance noble, while fellow writer Rafal was dressed in a musketeer uniform running one of the two demo tables. Rest of the Wargamer crew sported By Fire & Sword T-shirts.

Check the blog for more pictures from the Wargamer.pl stand as well as the remaining pictures from my Salute trip:

Nice report, and I picked up a copy of the "By Fire & Sword" rules too; the lads were very friendly & enthusiastic.
The subject is an area that I have very little knowledge of, & I don't game this period, but the wargame book was just too good to miss. I'll have to seriously consider whether to get into this era or not, and if I do, do I stick with my 25/28mm or delve into 15mm for the 1st time (and I'm not getting any younger).
