The dust has settled now so I thought I'd share my personal take on Salute, how I saw it and how I think it reflects the hobby in general.

So you know, this isn't a review – it's my take.

All the best

Thank you. I missed my one and only chance at Salute nearly 40 years ago. Well, such is life. But yes, nothing very surprising there. Large firms are increasingly dominant, and small firms can have an Internet presence without paying for tables. Horse & musket games are and will remain spectacular, but with out schools or films to explain the tactics to young people, we're going to be a steadily smaller fraction of miniature wargaming.

I expect this will eventually change. But I also don't expect to see it.
