Well done Eric, felt like I was there, without the noise, and the sore feet, and the … |

Some great looking games! Thanks for posting.
Salute is on my bucket list, but it's a trek from Western Canada. |

Good work Eric, thanks for sharing. Having recently emigrated from UK to USA this may be the only way I'll ever see Salute again. Cheers, RC. |

Can't afford to go there. So many thanks! |

Nice pics – well done Eric!
The stand out games for me were the Seven Years War German one and the Russo-Finnish war. They were actually pretty close to each other, along with that Antietam game.
The standard of games seemed better to me than last year, lots of people and lots of traders. Only downside is a sense that more and more it's becoming a fantasy miniatures event rather than a historical one – nb on the traders' side.

Great shots, thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't be there. |

Thank you for sharing this picture report! I for one find lots of inspiration in it, from/for games both big and small, as well as to try and make it to the show next year… |

I very much appreciate you posting your photographs. There is much to ponder over. Thanks. |

Thanks for sharing, still lots of large Historical games to inspire me there but I suspect that smaller games are the trend these days. |

I'll have to do this one year – as you have photos of two or three really nice looking games that I just don't think I saw at all. This has happened to me before – so a methodical game by game approach would prevent this ! |

Very good Eric
Thanks so much for the pics

Ec, that's what we thought too, lots of sci-if and fantasy, bit light on historical. That being said, the historical side was rescued by Bill Gaskins SYW game, the 40mm Napoleonic game was good and the Russo Finnish war too. |
| Timmo uk | 17 Apr 2016 4:16 a.m. PST |
As noted elsewhere Bill Gaskin's SYW game should have won best in the show as it was head and shoulders above anything else. |
 BigRedBat  | 17 Apr 2016 4:23 a.m. PST |
Thanks for the photos! I was there but missed several of the better-looking games. Very light on historical, I thought, and quite a few games were only dioramas which is always a pity. |
| Olive Rudge | 17 Apr 2016 4:25 a.m. PST |
Stan was shocked that the SYW was not best of show .
As others have said it was a mile a head . |
| EricThe Shed | 17 Apr 2016 4:51 a.m. PST |
Who won ?? Thanks for all the great comments here and on the blog… If anybody wants to use the photos please feel free to do so… |
| jeffreyw3 | 17 Apr 2016 8:16 a.m. PST |
Ian Smith's game won Best of Show. |
| Cambria5622 | 17 Apr 2016 9:26 a.m. PST |
Which game was Ian Smith's? |
| dwight shrute | 17 Apr 2016 12:08 p.m. PST |
superb pics as ever Mr Shed ! |
| jeffreyw3 | 17 Apr 2016 1:42 p.m. PST |
40 mm Battle of Adrodas -- Napoleonic |
| Cambria5622 | 17 Apr 2016 3:31 p.m. PST |
Ah, that was also a fantastic looking game, even if the rifles officer had blonde hair. |
| Lord Elpass | 17 Apr 2016 3:59 p.m. PST |
I think if I'd paid out the sort of money messrs Gaskin and Smith have on painted figures, buildings and terrain I'd expect to win best of show. Spectacular games. |

I've added "going to Salute" to my bucket list. |

The photo set seems to be popular over 3500 hits so far…. |

Many thanks for the photos |

You can't go wrong choosing between the Gaskin SYW and the Ian Smith 40mm Peninsula games for best in show. Both looked to be superb. IMHO, they should simply get rid of "best of show" awards at wargame shows. They serve no useful purpose. |
worries about not losing his rules stuff.
