Brigada Tripeira at Salute 2015 - Photo report

The Brigada Tripeira went to Salute 2015.

A trip to the fantastic world of wargames.

It was good to review old friends and meet some in person, known to the virtual world of internet.

A fantastic show, and very participated. Amazing demo tables, scenarios out of this world and many traders to spend money.

Conclusion: next year we are there again! Oh yeah!!

The day before Salute! An London tour.

Imperial War Museun entrance

This is what you see!! A V2 rocket and fighters hanging on the ceiling!!

Another general view.

Next visit: HMS Belfast.

Just to prove I was there!!

The rest of the "entourage" was also there. 

At Salute 2015

Salute entrance, here we go!!

We enter at last, after a long waiting, our first Salute.

The Storm Troopers are checking on us... I'm very afraid ;-)

An "WOW" game!

The Battlegroup demo table. One of our Salute objectives.

JF with Warwick and Piers, after signing our Blitzkrieg" books.

Miguel (the guy who took the blurry photo), was so excited about the show that even trembled with excitement.

The farewell

After an exhausting day, a well-deserved cold pint in a London pub. 

See you next year (Stansted airport)!

Cheers!

GTS-2015 (May 16-17)

Hi guys

Again the "Brigada Tripeira", after the journey to Salute 2015 (London), will also be at GTS-2015 at Coimbra city! And of course, we'll do another "Battlegroup" demo game... and a few other things!

The GTS ('Grande Torneio do Sul') is an annual miniature gaming meet-up, which is going to be held in Coimbra (Portugal) in May 16th/17th 2015. With more than 10 previous editions, this event joins up to 50-100 people national-wide.

 

For the first time, Coimbra will organise this event and will offer the participants a chance to play and try-out a set of different miniature games. It takes place in Escola Secundária José Falcão during the weekend, and has the support of multiple partners, from stores to local groups.

The aim of this event is to join, in one place, all the miniature wargaming players and collectors around the country, as well as attract new people to this hobby. This is a great way of meeting old friends, making new ones while having a great time.

The main events of GTS 2015, includes 4 different tournaments and a set of side-events including demos, show-cases, and an after-party.

WWI Locomotives & War Series - by Carlos Briz

(Class Gt 2x4/4 locomotive - Prussian State Railways)

Long time no see!

That's right, it has been more that a month since we brought you a CB dio.

And there is only one guy to blame for this, as usual: it's JF's fault!

Would you believe this guy only mentioned to me once (or twice...) that we had a post ready to be published, that need a few words? I cannot believe this!

You better get your act together dude, or else we will make you paint even more figures and tanks, for us to wargame with!

We have news to our many British followers (all the 2 or 3 of them...) - some of us are going to London to visit Salute 2015.

Drop us an email, if you want to arrange a meeting!

That's right guys, there was nothing that the Germans loved more in war than to sit, all cosy and warm, in a big house in an occupied territory, and drink the former owner's wine and eat his food.

What a way to enjoy the pleasures life has to offer!

Of course, there was always the risk that the owner of the house might, sooner or later, come back, maybe accompanied by a returning army, but that was a risk that the Germans were always willing to take...

On the other hand, the Germans never promised to leave an occupied house in the same state they found it in the first place. That would be against the most basic principles of a self-respected invading army...
