Salamanca is a city in northwestern Spain, capital of the imaginatively named Province of Salamanca in Castile and León. The city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988, but far more importantly, in 2017 it was the home for both the ETC Flames of War/Wargammer/Other Stuff with Robots and Monsters tournament, alongside which nestled the Worlds - the most multinational historical event on the planet. This year the international interest from a number of rulesets had tailed off, leaving L'Art de la Guerre as the #1 period, with 40 players from 8 different countries taking part.

The intrepid team from Central London, memories fresh in their minds of the debacle of fruit based drinks and industrial decay on the edge of Brussels the previous year, made up a goodlychunk of the UK contingent, and had shipped themselves into the pre-Brexit transition-period no-mans-land of the EU via an early start at Heathrow on a fine Friday morning in August..

Sfter an epic trip across the sunlit uplands of central Spain, we arrived in Salamanca, ready for Sangria, Tapas, Vino Tinto and Flamenco... but instead we had sadly to go play toy soldiers. A least there was a bar in the venue though...

I had chosen the Alexandrians on the basis of wanting to get some Classical era pikemen onto the table, from a set of Minifigs figures which had lain unloved and unused for many years, and also to deploy an Indian command with Elephants, after the battering they gave me in The BHGS Challenge. Their first outing was to be a Friday night session against Army1
