This is an excellent wargaming system that provides easy & rapid movement from place to place on the table or from formation to formation. The bases are thin enough so that combined with the larger, lipped movement trays, they are far lass obtrusively bulky than other basing systems on the market. Using sheet metal & magnetizing the undersides of the movement trays, allows for safe & secure transport from home to club or convention. The only drawback is the additional costs of shipping from the U.K. to the U.S. which can be up to 40% of the total but the same would hold true for any overseas manufacturer. U.S. basing system, manufacturer's products are far more bulky which i feel detracts from the visual appearance of the game. Even if I could find a dealer here in the U.S. that carried Victrix basing, the costs of shipping would simply be attached to the retail price and I'd still have to pay for the shipping at the U.S. rates which are equally prohibitive. I'll continue to use the Victrix basing as long as its available.
