Trumpeter's Salute 2018

Trumpeter's is the only Vancouver/Lower Mainland gaming convention so it tags a lot of different games. There is a 40K tournament associated with it so if you combine the attendees with the 40K players there is only about 300 people. I have a ton of pictures in an Imgur album here but here are a few with a brief description as I remember it.

My buddy David who ran the games on our Pulp Alley tables:


The right flank of the Royalists is about to collapse at Marston Moor, using Armati 2: Renaissance:


A ACW game, unfortunately I don't recall the details:


Eastern front WW2 game in 15mm:


AWi game in 28mm, not sure of the rules used:

COOL STUFF! It looks like there was a lot of things going on. You had the best looking game though.

Looks awesome, you guys definitely have a wide range of scenery.

Really impressive range of games there -- something for all wargaming tastes it seemed, which is quite impressive for c.300 people.

&, of course, your boards looked beautiful. If I had something as nice as that jungle table, I'd definitely want to show it off too.

Thank you guys. It was my first time at one of these types of events and I was impressed at how many different systems were used.

Thanks for sharing these

You are welcome. Oddly enough I do not recall seeing any fantasy stuff (although the 17thC Cthulhu game may qualify) . I am thinking of adding 2 feet to my Mordheim table and bringing it next year. I just have to find some one who is willing to run the game. Another possiblity is building a table for 15mm Napoleonic game.

Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. 300 sounds like a nice size for a gaming community.
Do you remember if they were using new rules or old for Necromunda?

You know, I didn't ask and I didn't see it in the program.

BTW, I said in my previous post there weren't any fantasy games but one gentlemen did put on two games of Frostgrave.

Given the miniatures & board in use (full scenery rather than board tiles) I'd guess it's old Necromunda rules. But that's just a guess.
