Hi all, here are some shots of our game at Salute yesterday.
It was a very long day but rewarding as our game seemed to be surrounded all day be people interested in learning more about the East African campaign in 1940-41 and how James constructed the mighty mountain for the game.
Well done to all those involved in putting this together. I was fortunate in only having to roll some dice and generally man the game from time to time.

The sign:
The communications hut blasting the Italians with propoganda and opera
The gang and the mountain
Tom's cake...nom, nom, nom.
A hard slog uphill
Italian sniper awaits his next target
chaaaaaarge
The fort's defenders
The next wave prepare to ascend
A Wellesley observes the action
Nearing the top:
"OK chaps, prepare to advance"
Attackers emerge from the smoke
More reinforcements
Support
It's a looong way to the top
Keep going
More speakers being brought up...
HMG, nice!
Still climbing...
Still climbing...
Still climbing...
"Come on, chaps!"
The defenders await.
Made it! The first attackers gain a foothold in the fort
Italian reinforcements, too little too late?
Clinging on

It was a great day and the show looked really busy for a lot of the time so hopefully the traders had a good time too.
Even the traffic was reasonable on the way home.
Fantastic, a labor of love that shines bright! I need to read about this engagement.
