The Society has been busy this weekend jut passed, a small contingent ventured to ExCeL for the delayed Salute 2020 (or 2021?) whilst others attended the normal society meeting. First up, Salute. Andy’s thoughts with pictures by John, Mark and Andy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Five of the membership, John, Brian, Mark, Marcus and Andy, attended Salute putting on Marcus’ Pulp participation game “Biggles and the Island at the Top of the World<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The theme for the show was the Battle of Britain. The 2020 show was intended to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the battle. Centrally displayed in the hall were a replica Spitfire and Hurricane, with some RAF reenactors making an appearance after the photo was taken.<\/p>\n

They say ExCeL looks like a hanger…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I got the impression that Salute hired more of ExCeL than usual, to space us out more, although I also understand there were fewer games and traders scheduled to attend than in “normal” years; and there were a few “no shows” in both categories.<\/p>\n

Salute General view. More spaced out than usual, and perhaps fewer attendees?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Marcus’ game Biggles is searching a lost Artic island for a missing Professor and the strange artefacts he was studying.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Biggle’s party deplane from their Walrus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His party discover a secret labyrinth, with ever changing chambers and passages.<\/p>\n

However he was not alone, a party of Nazis with unworldly weapons were also trying to recover the Professor.<\/p>\n

The Russians had also sent an NKVD team to prevent the Nazis securing their objective.<\/p>\n

And finally, a lost tribe of Vikings were hellbent on preventing anyone from leaving the island with the Ragnarok Stones, the phenomena the Professor had been studying.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We ran several games throughout the day, with up to four members of the public taking control of one of the four parties.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back at the regular Society meeting, other members were running a series of games. Photos courtesy of Mark J and Stephen.<\/em><\/p>\n

First off Mark J and Pete ran a game of Fields of Glory, pitching Mark’s Hundred Years War English against Pete’s Hungarians.<\/p>\n

The first battle was won by the English, the Hungarian Knights couldn\u2019t cope with longbows and stakes. The Hungarians won the second battle by focusing on the men at arms and drawing the longbow fire away from the knights. So, honours even.<\/p>\n

Alan ran a Star Wars X-Wing game.<\/p>\n
