smashthedean Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I've been posting some battle reports on the 9th Age forums for a bit and figured I'd finally get around to sharing them over here. I started off just doing text based reports under 1.1 and was thinking of trying YouTube reports, but I think I've determined that I'm too bad at getting around to things to do that. Instead, I've settled into making diagrams and have done two 1.2 reports so far. Here is a link to the thread: VC Bloody Battle Blog Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 What program did you use to make the images? Have you read Swordmaster's old 8th battle reports on TWF/Ulthuan? I believe those are considered the gold standard for non-video batreps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Excel and MSpaint! I'm making these on the clock at work so I don't have a ton of options heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 http://ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=69344 <- example of Swordmaster's batrep. Note the photobucket is down right now... so check in a few hours. Yes, I know it's the wrong game (he's a traitor, more akin to a druchii than an asur). http://battlechronicler.com/ <- what he uses. There are guides around. Should look enough like mspaint to pass inspection at work. That said, I couldn't even tell you used mspaint, so GJ. BTW I'm beginning to warm the wife up to the idea of driving to Bellingham, so you better get that tournament going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think it's less about what the application looks like and more than I can't really install any software, but thanks for the recommendations - I'll give that Swordmaster guy's reports a read :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I was kinda hoping it was online when I first mentioned it. Or at least install free (just a small .exe). But alas, it is neither of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just a heads up to anyone following along, I just updated this with this week's game. This will probably be my last report for a few weeks as we have a Mordheim campaign coming up, but maybe I'll be able to get in some weekend games or something. We'll see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashthedean Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yikes! 10k sounds pretty crazy, I'll have to check it out! This week was the last week of our Mordheim campaign until we pick up again in January so I'll be playing T9A again next week with another report coming on its heels.

Kremmet Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well the game is set to an average of 4500 points so I imagine that's messing up the scale a bit. Still, 5k points by Oldhammer standards is still a huge game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Lo Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Anyone else doing batreps? Looking to start doing in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
