The Salute 2018 Photoreport

So another Salute is gone by and I took a lot of photos like every year. The show was like the years before very well organized and despite the mass of people there wasn’t a very  long delay to get in. The games were very well presented and the selection of traders was outstanding. But there is one point I have to criticize , the lighting . When you got into the  Salute venue it was very dark. So dark that it was sometimes difficult to take decent pictures ( as you sadly will se below). There could be more light and in the venue next door ( a wedding convention ) it was very different , much more light !

But without further ado here are the pictures:

Here you can see how dark it was:

So these are all the pictures I took . I hope you get an overview of the convention by them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show and am already looking forward to next year ! Thanks Warlords for a splendid show and remember maybe next year the lighting could be better?!

Roll on Crisis Antwerp 2018!

Salute 2016 Convention Report

So this years Salute is over. It was a very good show again bigger then the years before. The warlords used a separate hall for queuing, so there was now crowd in the main hall of the convention centre. There was a lot of space to wander around without bumping into other gamers.

Here are a few pictures as appetizer more on the Salute page 

See you next year at Salute 2017!
