Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reporter Forum

We welcome all your Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reports here in whatever form you choose to post them. Bear in mind though that they should be fun and/or informative reading for forum members and visitors.

Please create a new thread and add the names of the armies and pts value of the game, eg. Dwarfs vs Lizardmen 2000pts

That's it but read on if you like...

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Some basic guidelines that you can use if you want:-

1) Post the army lists if you have them or roughly what the armies were
2) Make it fun to read

Here are some extras you could add:-

3) Turn by turn analysis
4) The good/bad decisions made by commanders in battle
5) What you would do if you could play the battle again
6) What you learnt from the battle
7) Photos / deployment pictures / battle plans etc...

Here's a few more things to add to the suggestions and helpful aspects of battle reporting!


1. Bring a Camera! To me it doesn't matter if the figures are painted or not (though they sure do look like painted). But having photos always helps your readers get a good feel for the battle (and see your figs too!)

2. Fluff or no fluff? I love fluff stories (like most everyone does I imagine) but some of us are just not great writers. But thats ok! Non-fluff stories are just as good. Whats most important is that your battle report makes sense and includes the critical information.

3. Too much or too little? With battle reports, it's always tough to add too much or too little information and I personally find that there is a fine line for this. Whatever you do, you want to make sure there's enough information for the readers to understand what has happened while not overloading them with specific details (for example, you don't need to tell us the exact angle and distance moved by your troops, but telling us "my infantry blocked marched forward to face the dragon" would suffice just dandy!)

4. Are links ok? Personally for me, I don't mind links at all. No matter if it's photos or the whole battle report itself, having seperate links helps with load time (for slower connections) and 90% of the gaming world that I've seen doesn't mind clicking a link to read a good battle report! Free sites like http://www.photobucket.com are great places to upload your photos and simply place the links on the site.


Hope this helps folks! Cheers!
