A Knackered Reject at Salute 2013 part 1 of 2.......

Knackered: "Exhausted, Broken, Malfunctional, Tired or Sleepy....."

After finishing work and 2 hours and 11 minutes sleep later the Rejects (Ray, Myself and Postie) headed to Salute 2013, got there and into the long fecking cash queue (next year if I go it will be a pre paid ticket or nothing) about 0950hrs and got into the fecking show at 1040hrs!

A fecking tiring day but a good day, didn't get everything I wanted but that's just the stupidity and tiredness talking, met a lot of fellow bloggers and people who just followed my blog but didn't have a blog stopping me and saying so (not as scary as people think), so knackered at the end (we left about 1620hrs but didn't get home for ages as Ray got us lost in a housing estate somewhere near the venue).

Salute 2013 looked the busiest I've ever seen it and hopefully was good for the traders who attended, now it's been mentioned that Salute should or could be over 2 days, now if it was over two days I would still only go to the first day (international visitors would probably prefer 2 days) but if it was me I would recommend that it was on for longer like 0900hrs until 1800hrs (long I know but it's a one day hit) but that's just my opinion.




The fecking queue.......


Andrew (Loki) helping out at Warbases, don't forget his giveaway........

....but then to me the best demonstration game at the show (I will show other stuff tomorrow), simply stunning, full of figures but loads of beautiful little vignettes.

I give you from the Essex Gamesters, I actually took more pictures but they didn't turn out great.....WATERLOO 1815, The Emperor Speaks!






























....so tomorrow pictures of some of the other games, bloggers, figures and possibly loot but my other half actually reads my blog!
