Every Bushido product purchased at our Salute table puts you in with a chance of winning the board, more products purchased will mean more chance of winning.

Here is a look at the courts before the raging turmoil of war struck...

And here you see Hiro and Hanso's last stand against the forces of evil... Come along on the day and see how Gordon has expertly crafted how the battle has impacted on the game board. Also Gordon will be revealing a brand new Bushido game board for you to come and have a demo at, see you there!

Eureka Miniatures – TE 03 www.eurekamin.com.au

28mm 1812 Saxon Heavy Cavalry and 15/18mm AB Figures 1792 Austrians – submit your pre-orders soon! As previously announced Eureka Miniatures will be traveling from Australia to attend and trade at Salute 2012.

Salute will mark the official launch of several new Eureka and AB Figures ranges, plus other show specials which can be pre-ordered for collection at the show (thus guaranteeing you get what you want, while avoiding all postage charges!)

Among the ranges on offer will be Eureka’s new 28mm Napoleonic Saxon Heavy Cavalry, representing both the Garde du Corps and Kürrassier-Regiment von Zastrow regiments at the moment of their finest hour – the storming of the Great Redoubt at the Battle of Borodino in 1812. Multiple variant poses are available in either dramatic charging, or more passive ‘at rest’ attitudes depending on the collectors whim.

The smaller scale Austrians (15/18mm) are a new addition to Tony Barton’s superb AB Figures Napoleonic range, suitable for the Wars of the French Revolution from 1792 to 1798 (and beyond to the Marengo campaign of 1800 thanks to the slow pace of Austrian uniform replenishment). They can also be fielded for campaigns against the Ottoman Turks before 1792. The range incorporates Austrian and Hungarian infantry, Grenzers (including Grenzer sharpshooters and Seressaners), Dragoons, Hussars, Artillery and a staff set.

If prospective Salute customers can pre-order, Eureka would certainly recommend it because they can only bring limited stock all the way to London, so pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee you get everything you need. However all orders for collection at Salute must reach Eureka by 10th April – at the latest.

You can place your Salute pre-orders by going to the Eureka Miniatures website (www.eurekamin.com.au) and look for the appropriate Salute announcement and updates under “News & Events” on the left hand side of the home page. There you will find further information and the links to the pre-order pages. Alternatively, to take you straight to the Saxon Cavalry pre-order page – simply go to – http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_802&sort=3a. Or to take you straight to the AB Figures 1792 Austrian pre-order page – simply go to – http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=1_2_14_803&sort=3a

Victrix - TE13 - www.victrixlimited.com

I don't know if Napoleonics is your thing, but it's certainly hard to find a more impressively uniformed period. And having said that, Victrix have sent me their Salute 2012 news...


Victrix Limited are pleased to announce that we will be attending Salute 2012 and will be located at Stand TE13. We have a number of exciting announcements about our presence at Salute and these are detailed below.

We will be running a fast play Napoleonic 54mm participation game at stand GE15 which will be located opposite our trade stand.

Brigade Models Ltd - TD30 - www.brigademodels.co.uk 

Brigade Models have a new page on their website with information on their new releases for Salute 2012. If you want to know what the new shinys are, you're best going to the page at  http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Salute%20Releases.html , which will be updated as the show . However, their general info bears repeating...

Show orders 
Orders to be collected at the show are always welcome, please e-mail us with your requirements and we'll have your items ready and waiting on the day. Orders for over £50 will get a 10% discount if you pay in cash on the day, or you can choose to pay in advance if you prefer - we'll send you an invoice which you can pay with either PayPal or a credit card.

Shapeways Items 
We have an ever-increasing number of 3D models on our Shapeways Store which are printed to order - we don't generally hold any stock. However, if you want to avoid postage costs, we are taking advance orders on these models - just e-mail us a list of your requirements. We will then order these from Shapeways, and you can collect them on the day. Because of the lead-time on Shapeways production, we must have any orders by the end of Sunday April 1st at the latest. You can either pay in advance or on the day - but please note that we can't offer any discount on Shapeways items. You will be able to see many of our Shapeways creations on the day at the Maidstone Wargames Society Pegasus Bridge game.

Credit Cards 
Time for a quick reminder about our credit card policy. Last year we decided to cancel our credit card machine as it was no longer paying its way - the fees we had to pay for four shows a year meant that it cost almost as much to have the facility as we took in card sales ! We do continue to take card payments, which we then process after the show via our PayPal account. We'll take your card details (we will also need the cardholder's address) and explain exactly how this works on the day. However, we would prefer cash or cheques instead if at all possible. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE NON-UK CARDS - sorry.

Jacques-Alexandre Gillois (J.A.G.) - TG14 - www.miniaturestudio.net 

The original sculpt of this year's Salute Miniature, as well a the painted version, will be on display on my booth (TG14) along with other original sculpts for various ranges. And we (that's me, Jacques-Alexandre Gillois, and Thomas David) will be giving sculpting demonstrations there too.

Also, there might be a 'Salute special deal' and new releases from our very own, personal garage brands (that's Miniature Factory and Agora), but nothing confirmed yet.
