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.
Congrats! I saw this article (I get WSS in PDF form) and was excited when 'I know him!'. Good article on the basing too. Thanks for your info!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great article!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and good luck with the campaign.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to the campaign. Olicanalad did something similar with Carthage vs. Rome at his blog. This is going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats on the article.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, always satisfactory to see own name in the print:)
ReplyDeleteWell 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!
ReplyDeleteAgain, congrats on the article.
Cheers,
Aaron

Cheers, Simon
Congrats, Simon. Hopefully the first of many more to come in the future. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteBravo! Congratulations! I can't wait to see it once it makes its way across the pond.
ReplyDeleteGot my paper issue today:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice article Simon !
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;)
Best regards Michael
Congrats about the article! Its quite rewarding having your name in print!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I'm hoping to pick up mine in Smiths in Oxford Street tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYour 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
ReplyDeleteRegards HGA
Hi HGA, I'm not sure I want a basing legacy, I'd prefer to live forever! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave 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
Thanks everyone! Simon
Congrats!That is really cool.
ReplyDeleteWell done. I will have to get a copy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you know you are doing something right when your work gets published in a magazine.
ReplyDeletewell done, just seen your basing piece.Simon.
ReplyDeleteSuccessors is a great base for a campaign and a fun game in its own right.
