The man on the left of the picture is our very own Dougie, painter extraordinaire and general all round great guy, you were terrific dude. Fantastic on the day helper.
We sold lots of books and demo'd the game all day long. Craig and I both lost out voices.
We also had a trip to Boving Tank Museum to check out all the Afghanistan vehicles as well as the other armour. It is well worth a visit.
We also saw this beasty the only working Tiger in the world. A very special thank you to the Bovington guys for taking pity on two Kiwis and letting us go and see the big cat, even though she wasn't on display that day.

So finally after much organisation we managed to get a rest and see the sites of Londinium.

So now of course we are looking forward to the 36 hour flight home in cattle class, the things we do for you. A massive thank you to everyone who made the UK trip so special.
A great show! Glad you did so well, it was a pleasure meeting you both and from my perspective there was loads of interest, may be doing that long flight with the wife after all lol. Take care, have a good flight home and we'll speak soon.

For what it's worth I saw your game at Salute and was interested. I liked the fact that the board was mad from DIY bits and bobs and still looked good. For me it is a project to look at in the future, but rest assured I will look at it as/when money improves.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the comments, glad you liked what you saw.
DeleteWhat I love about skirmish sangin is that for less than £30 you can actually start playing a pretty decent game. You can then add to scenery and forces as required. I particularly enjoy scratch building the terrain. Great gameplay, I'm totally hooked!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear, our aim to make a terrific game that doesn't cost 100's of to start to play. Really appreciate the feedback.
DeleteHappy to read you had a great day in SALUTE.
ReplyDeleteThis was my only 'spontaneous' purchase at Salute. Good sales spiel did it for me! Now I need to get some figures - Empress and Airfix look promising. Is there a mailing list or forum associated with the game ?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not, we did start one but it didn't take off and most of our information is now disseminated through our blog. You can contact us via the website www.skirmishsangin.com if you have any questions.
DeleteThey look a really thorough and professional set of rules so I can't imagine they'll be any problems.
DeleteWhat I would appreciate is if you could add the markers (morale check, prone kneel, walk, ec, etc) to the download section as I just have the hard copy rules and I don't want to cut them up,
At Salute you also talked a little about your plans for the system - a blog post about that would be good (see I already want to give you more money! ;-))
Apart from anything else I've just enjoyed reading the rules - what I need to do now is work out how to paint MTP.
Well we live in hope, the game has been out now 15 months and nothing too big has come to light so far. Yes I will put up the markers soon.
DeleteFuture plans are in negotiation so can't say anything yet but soon people soon.
Do let us know how you get on with the MTP.
Thanks for the markers! In case anyone's missed it there's some good ideas for FFL scenarios here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFnuVGYNcY.
ReplyDeleteThat video is excellent, really really god.
