Salute 53 is here, and once again the South London Warlords have brought the UK’s biggest one-day wargaming show to life at ExCeL London. As a lifelong historical wargamer, I explore how Salute has evolved—balancing historical gaming with the growing influence of sci-fi, fantasy, and narrative play. Is the decline in historical tables a problem, or simply a reflection of a changing hobby? In this video, I share my thoughts on what makes Salute 53 unique, why it still inspires, and how it fits into the wider UK wargaming scene.
