Historical Mug-Shot

With Salute 2013 in the offing I thought I'd share this little bit of wargaming history. This is what I drink my coffee from at work - a Salute 25th Anniversary mug with the legend 'I Ran A Game At Salute Ninety Six'.


I was with the Staines Wargamers, and I think we were running our prize-winning 'Stagecoach' game (the one in black and white, if anyone remembers it). Good times.

Anyway, that mug's 17 years old and has survived five house moves and a trip to the other side of the world. Now it baffles people in an office in Wollongong.

      I'm from Birmingham - I only moved to Staines. Lived there for 18 years, then got parole and came to Australia :)

    I thought you had to be sentenced to go to Australia...
