You do yourself a disservice Darrell, it's an excellent game and a worthy winner. I have seen the Gallipoli game too btw.

The award was well deserved, an excellent display and game.
Hope to see again at some point, any chance?
Spectacular has it was, the Gallipoli table was what you said it was "a set up" certainly not a game.

Very very nice!
Don't be so hard on yourself - that's some spectacular terrain, especially the town!

This is the very first Medieval game I've seen I would want to play, so far I have stayed away from medievals with a passion.
How big was the table, and how many figures did you use?

Darrell, it was stunning on the day (viewed in person), and still looks great in the photos--highly inspirational!

Ah, sorry. Off the top of my head I don't really know- my stuff is based for Impetus and simon's stuff was based on 50x50mm squares placed on Oshira 100x50mm clear perspex bases.
I'll try to come up with a more coherent answer when I've had my coffee
.
Cheers,
Darrell.

You didn't see the game?
Actually, thinking about it now, we seemed to be missing from a number of Salute games posts on a some fora.....
Wonder if it was where the game was positioned? Or maybe they took one look at us and thought..... Nope! staying away from that bunch!!

Saw it in the flesh (or better, tin) but it was great. The combination of figures and beautiful terrain/castle is terrific. Liked also the small details on the battlfield and inside the castle

About 95% of the miniatures are from the Perry Agincour to Orleans range. Both Simon and I agree that the Perry stuff is the most dynamic in terms of pose and they really look like they are fighting which helps enormously). There are a few other bits and bobs by (mainly Foundry or the( old GW Bretonnian range), thrown in here and there, the odd conversion etc.
Hope that helps?
Darrell.
