Hope that those going have a good day out!

I think it will be a grand re opening of the hobby.  Accompanied by the Warfare show soon too.

From my very limited "scouting" it looks like SELWG was a great show but down on numbers.
The full recovery will proably happen in 2022 ( a wild guess I know).

I find it nicer to wander around the trade stands and games than shop online.

Is PP attending Salute and/or Warfare, Martin?

Sadly PP will not be at any shows  in 2021.
Except, of course, the excellent WWW.
I am  not physically up to doing shows at the moment. :(

I will see how 2022 shapes up :-\

Just got my pre-Salute email from WI with what they are doing. Looks like I will be getting a free sprue of their new Napoleonic cavalry. 

Just wondering if this would fit in with an idea I had thought about a while ago for doing Mex/US war (Alamo period) (Don't readily recall exact name of the war).  Would Napoleonic figure meet the general types of troops used in Mexico at the time?  Have a feeling it would from what I remember of the film (yes, history according to Hollywood). I don't fancy doing Napoleonic wars (too many troops involved) but think the Alamo would be fun. All depends on getting troops to use for US at the time.

Suggestions Bearing in mind it s Warlord sprue so will probably be around 13mm (PP figure a little too large and chunky! sorry Martin)
