OK I have re-read the rules to Tiny Epic Kingdoms, and I'll did out Fluxx and Age of War. They don't take a huge amount of space in a bag.

Salute can get quite a tad chaotic (read can get a tad as will be very,) and space is at a premium. As such I would recommend if your taking a rucksack and some food, to avoid using any non-disposable items. Also it might be worth your while, printing out a floor plan in advance, and marking off anything you intend to see / do / visit in advance, as that can cut down quite a bit. Last year, I went with a clear route, hit what I wanted to see and do, then had most of the second half of the day to peruse at my pleasure.

Looks like a shed load of disruption to our route from Marylebone to Salute. Circle is closed all weekend. I'm stuck in Cornwall at the moment, I'll have to work out a route, when I get home (provided I don't fall asleep.)

Suggested TfL route is Bakerloo from Marylebone to either Baker Street or Waterloo then the Jubilee to Canning Town and DLR to Custom House. Around 30 - 35 minutes.

So...

Code:
Marylebone -> (on Bakerloo) -> Baker Street
Baker Street -> (on Jubilee) -> Canning Town
Canning Town -> (on DLR) -> Custom House

...or...

Code:
Marylebone -> (on Bakerloo) -> Waterloo
Waterloo -> (on Jubilee) -> Canning Town
Canning Town -> (on DLR) -> Custom House

Either seems easy enough. Probably the first route, as it saves counting stops. It's one station, loads to the DLR then go to Customs House.

Good day out this, JJ has posted up some photos on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=...224&type=3

I picked up...
  • A copy of Blood Eagle (Viking skirmish rules based on IHMN engine)
  • The SAGA campaign expansion, Age of the Wolf.
  • Some Hasselfree figures for a fantasy warband.
  • Some KR cases to house my ever growing LotR / Hobbit collection.
  • Some Star Wars: Imperial Assault figures. I figure I can combine some of these with what's in the Imperial Assault box for some skirmish games.
  • Latest 40K rulebook for the offspring.

Swordpoint (the new "big battles" game from Gripping Beast) looks interesting. Worth keeping an eye on.

Yeah my purchases were quite boring, but many. Everything was something I would eventually buy, rather than any impulse spends. As such I came home with Saga, Guild Ball and FF related items. I did get Rebellion which was trying to pull my arm off with the weight.
