Thank you guys, this is really inspirating... Here in Brazil we are trying to make battle reports like this... Unfortunately, the games go very tense in the 3rd or 4th turn and so on, that we forgoet to take the pictures and make notes... I´ll try to post every battle report like this i have. Thanks and Cheers, Marcos
Great Batrep. Its always most fun when the game is on a knifes-edge. For the forgetting to take photos problem, I suggest you print out a card with "Photos!" marked on it. In each phase, place this card infront of the unit you are most likely to use first in the next phase (so in the magic phase, put the card next to the Salamanders for example). That way, if you forget to take a photo for a phase, you will stumble across the card (before it is to late) and be reminded about taking photos.
hheheh... I´m trying to convince my girlfriend (which just started a Tomb King army) to take pictures os the game... but she wants to play... thanks!
