Many thanks to fellow gamers from the society on the day, including George who guided us through Impetus ruleset. Also it was great to meet blog followers, both those known and previously unknown to me and for the complimentary comments you made.
Anyway, here are some photos...

Traditional entertainment continues in the French camp.

The French burying casualties from the siege, perhaps resulting from dysentery rather than combat.
More Hundred Years War hot fighting action shots to come soon....

One of the stand-out games at Salute this year - particularly as we've been watching the effort put into producing the final result. I admire your dedication to producing the final result (I'm a real butterfly, flitting from one project to another) - you must be very proud of it.
This is beyond beautiful!
The lay out of the battlefield with the city, the besiegers, the bridge and the two opposing forces using all of the available area in balance is simply perfect.
The amount of details and quality in excecution is mindblowing.
To me this is what wargaming is all about. Congratulations on a beautiful set up and thanks for posting the pictures as I didn't have the opportunity to come and see it in person.

Fantastic work! It was great to catch up with you to talk about the project. I came away thinking if only I had more time to achieve my own projects! Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.

Excellent looking game, worth all the effort that went into it, especially the bridge.
Look forward to hear how the game panned out.
BTW who lost their head and had it as a trophy in front of the L&L flag in the third last photo :-)
Excellent setup, beautiful layout. Nothing to add, just very, very well done. Chapeau!
Cheers, SG

Amazing pictures, lovely looking game !!!
Absolutely stunning stuff Simon!
I am not ashamed to say that I am veritably green around the gills mate! I *so* wish I had been able to make it down to Salute :O(
A joy to see the pics :O)
Darrell.
Truly excellent :-)
Wow, truly excellent stuff Simon. Your efforts are a continuous source of inspiration and imagination. These demo games that you've done over the years are something to which i'm sure have contributed to enthusing fellow painters and hopefully attracting new people to the hobby or convincing some to return to a hobby they once loved (like me) Very well done !
