Thanks for the compliment! Although I don't think I've ever been congratulated for walking slowly before. 😂 I just tried to make the video I would want to see, plus I've got a memento for myself of my favourite boards (and lots of reference material!).

It's great to see so many games played on small terrain boards. Shows promise for bringing more people into the hobby who lack space to play on more expansive terrain.

I don't think there is an award for best table, it would probably skew people towards spectacular crowd-pleasers and distract from the games themselves. I think everyone who went will have their favourite - mine was at 25.04 but I couldn't tell you what game they were playing (maybe What A Tanker?). Second place was at 14.55, and third was the Epic table at 22.55 (sorry, I do love me a bit of GW, although I don't think they earned much from what was on that table ;) ).

Honestly, I couldn't even tell in some cases what games were being run and I was there. Branding and signage is not a strong point at Salute! You can work it out if you have the guidebook and follow the table descriptions and you are physically there, but I was just looking at the scenery mainly. @MiniatureAdventuresTV has done a great video and has properly logged everything he shows, check it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGSWlpKuf7HAe8Y.html

​@ModelPaintWhatever no no, not necessary, friend. Kingdom Death is extremely boutique and their booth would be of no small display.

I take a pragmatic view of it - the games industry needs a behemoth to make it mainstream and make the idea of miniature wargaming palatable to corporate investors, which will undoubtedly help smaller companies get funding and grow. But the nature of being a multinational public company means that there will be mis-steps and there will be money grabbing. At least we have a choice not to support GW if we so choose, and bizarrely that's because of GW getting so big. Without GW there'd be a toy company in charge, like Hasbro or Mattel. Even FFG couldn't keep the X-Wing franchise going by themselves, and that was a machine to print money. So GW giveth, and GW taketh away. And I doubt Salute would be as big as it is today without the awareness of the hobby that GW has helped bring to the masses. But I do totally see your point of view.
