Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy

In this episode, we look back at this year's Salute and ask whether it still holds its place as the must-attend event in the wargaming calendar.
Guy was on the ground taking it all in, joined by Joe Mealy as his wing man, with Mark also making an appearance. Together, they share their impressions of the day, from standout games and eye-catching displays to the broader trends shaping the hobby.
What grabbed their attention? What surprised them? And how did this year's show compare to previous Salutes?
Before that, we head to the newsroom for the latest news from the world of wargaming, not all of it coming from Salute.
