Well done, BRB! About time, you got something in a glossy ;-) Will be keen to see how you approach the campaign. Successors was a game that slipped through my net, unfortunately. Should've got a copy when I had the chance. Still, it was a good lesson to learn!
Agree about the "good basing makes greate miniatures look twice as nice!" or bad basing makes good minis look not nice at all...or as i try to do good bases to make my moderate minis look good;)
Your basing legacy will live on Simon, hope to see more in future. Successors is a great game once you have deciphered the badly proof read rules Regards HGA
Hi HGA, I'm not sure I want a basing legacy, I'd prefer to live forever! ;-)
Have you downloaded the amended rules on the internet? There is an updated set with all the errata included and some changes. We used those yesterday, very useful
Successors is a great base for a campaign and a fun game in its own right.

My first magazine piece, about basing miniatures, came out today, in Wargames, Soldies and Strategy 64. Woo hoo! If you want a copy, you can buy it here. WSS is a great little magazine, and I hope to post there fairly regularly.
Interestingly, Guy the Editor comments that I must disagree with Dr. Phil Hendry's approach to basing. I actually really like Phil's bases, especially those on his Roman and Sassanids. He is very consistent, which is what I aim to be, too.
In other news, we played our first game of the New Year last night; the classic Avalon Hill boargame Successors. This will hopefully make a great background for a campaign, later in the year, once I have enough miniatures painted.
