Hi and welcome to the special Salute newsletter.

Salute is the major gaming convention in the U.K. and is held at ExCel London, Royal Victoria Dock on April 21st. As some of you may know already know, Dark Realm will be there in force this year and we want to let people know what we are up to.

DRM Participation Game
Last year we were around Wargames Warehouse and chatting to quite a few people about what DRM had been doing up to that point and where we wanted to head in the year now gone by. This year we want to do something different and that is exactly what we have set out to do. We have a table booked and will be running participation games of our very own rules set throughout the day. There's no need to book a place, just turn up and take control of a formation or two on the battlefield. The table is GN171 located in Zone N towards the back. See the floor plan map below for the location.

This will be a scenario game using the Kraytonians and Andrayada forces. We have been busy playtesting the game to make sure the forces are balanced and have kept Mercenary Brush very busy painting up armies and designing the gaming table.

Paul has been kind enough to take a picture of some of the units he has painted.  Its quite a sight to behold.

We will have more details about the game, including pictures, and background in the next week or two just before the show. Its been quite a challenge but we are enjoying ourselves and are looking forward to the show. The rules themselves have had a lot of work done but they are still under development. Salute will give us the chance to allow people to see what we have been up to and hopefully give us feedback on what you think of things so far. Shortly after the event we will be releasing a downloadable PDF of the core rules and the army lists. That way players from all over the world can provide feedback to fine tune the game and you can help make the DRM rules the 6mm sci-fi game you have always wanted.

As well as the game, the stand will be showing off the entire "Studio" collection of painted DRM miniatures and some previously unseen preview figures as well. Dark Realm will be well represented with some of the guys behind it all being present throughout the day, so if you want to ask about the design process, find out whats in the pipeline, talk painting with Paul ("TuffSkull" of the Mercenary Brush) or if you just want to see some pretty eye candy, our stand is the place to be!

DRM Products
DRM miniatures will be for sale at Saulte. Wargames Warehouse and Hobby Box are kind enough to sell our products at their stands. Hobby Box is located at stand TC028 and can be found on the opposite side of the entrance in Zone C. Wargames Warehouse can be found at stand TJ109 in Zone J close to Zone C. Also both retailers have DRM available on their websites for purchase.
