SALUTE 52

10:30 - Best of the Best: Elite Units in Wargames

Scottish Highlanders are normally depicted as elite units charging across our table top - but what makes them so special? Is it just that snazzy kilt? What qualities do our favourite wargaming units all share? How are rules designed to highlight their differences and make them feel iconic?

11:30 - Big Battalions, Small Scales, EPIC Games

Is it small, or just far away? In some big games - it can be both! Wargaming happens at a lot of scales but more recently there’s been a surge in popularity of the “teeny tiny table toppers”. What makes these small scales so brilliant? What are the challenges of sculpting mini miniatures?

12:45 - Wargaming in the Real World

SALUTE is all about celebrating wargaming as a hobby, but is there more to it? Wargaming has been around for hundreds of years and is still important today, but just how is it deployed in the modern world? Is it possible to learn more from our games and defeats other than that we need new dice?

13:45 - Sustainable Wargaming

We all love getting a new plastic sprue of miniatures: ready for us to snip and clip and start our new project. But what do we do with the sprue that’s left over? As we assemble our armies is there more we need to consider? In a world where sustainability is significant, what does the future hold for us?

14:45 - SALUTE 52 Hobby Round UP

Sit down for another Hobby Round Up! A general discussion about SALUTE, the hobby, what projects are in the mix on and what changes are happening. If you’ve spent a morning full of gaming, shopping and walking - it might be a good time to join some of your favourite content creators for a chat.
