"Shots of our C-Day game at Salute" Topic

Here are some pictures of Saturday's game at Salute, which features my minis, together with ships by me, Mark Backhouse and Legatus Hedlius, and terrain built by Guy Bowers of Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy and his Brixham Berserk mates.

We can start with a shot of the game in progress, taken by Legatus Hedlius:

Alan Daniels took this one, of legionaries wading ashore:

Elaine Daniels took this photo of shirking legionaries gambling on the deck of a galley:

…and of Caesar's secret weapon!

Do have a look at the blog, there are a lot more photos there:

Cheers, Simon

Wow! … if that's what you get, I'll have to start leaving my camera behind, too

Great selection of pictures from your guest photographers, Simon

(and a splendid display)

Thanks Phil! Was great meeting up, am giving some thought to a possible Slingshot piece.

Cheers, Simon

ps If anyone has more photos of the game, I'd love copies as I forgot to take my camera!

That's really nice stuff. Richard

Excellent. Very well done, a 10! What brand are those galleys?

Simon and friends, great looking game and figures!! I wish I could have played!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Mike P.S. I like the idea of the Romans wading a shore!!!!

Thanks chaps; hi Mike!

The Galleys are Grand Manner; and very nice they are, too. There's a fair bit of work in them, though, I gather.

Yes, particularly on the oars which are not provided and so have to be bought (I used bamboo skewers), measured and cut to length – 78 of them!)

Fantastic looking game, Simon – clearly a labour of love.
Congratulations to everyone involved, for a job very well done.

Cheers,
Scott

More photos of the wonderful C-Day game (and other games at Salute) can be found on my blog. Snapped throughout the day.

Cheers, Simon

Gnu2000 ,nice pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike Adams

Oh THAT Steve! Yes was very nice meeting up! Not long to Partizan; I am starting at a couple of legions of half painted Romans, right now, wishing they are rather further along the way.

Another brilliant looking game Simon!

That looks brilliant SImon. I love the wading figures :-)

Paul

Thanks chaps; mate Mark Backhouse painted the lovely nellie and waders.

Museum quality game. Fantastic and great chariot shot.

Splendid display Simon – maybe next year I can combine a holiday and Salute?

Garry

Thanks Colin, the nearest I have got to a chariot army!

Yes Garry, why not? Just needs some planning. :-)

Cheers, Simon
