I have one campaign that I really wish I had made an AAR of. Truly epic Roman one, conquered all of Rome VC´s, using pretty much just 2 two men to conquer maybe 3/4 of it.
One died old, alone and far behind enemy lines outside the walls of Babylon, one earned himself 3 triumphs, became Princeps in Rome and was elected Consul 6 times. His son continued his conquests and fought a lenghty war with the Seleukids, when the father died the governor of Africa sailed to Roma, gained the soldiers and some powerful mens trust, and declared himself Princeps. The son of the ex-Princes was stuck behind enemy lines, as were all other great men of the Republic, and when he got back to Roman land the new Princepes had already adopted him and made him his heir.
There was a lot more complications of course, but it was truly epic. One day I might compile everything I rememeber into a really short story. So many great things happened in that campaign. The conquests of Quintus Gallicus, the fortifications and adventures of Quintus Aurelius Cotta, the travels of Appius Julius Ceasar, the bravery of Fabius Asiaticus, the audacity of Gaius Julius Mento, the battles of the mercenary general Herrenius. Such tales.
I don´t know why I didn´t write an AAR, the throught just never occured to me. Besides, I didn´t realise how much I loved the campaign until it began to come to an end.
