So going back to a conversation from last year, there was a discussion about VIDEO battle reports and how much fun they were (or not) to watch.

One of the points that stuck with me was that in a usual battle report video, there is a lot of wasted time watching die rolls and other stuff in real-time. There haven't been many cases of people going back to make videos that discuss the gameplay outcomes and decisions after the fact. I've also always struggled with typical video battle reports to get a sense of the actual BATTLE and what was happening where.

So the video my friend and I made (below) was an attempt to try something different. The video covers a rather large battle at the climax of our year-long map based campaign. It got a little longer than intended (but we also covered more up front stuff outside of the battle itself), and if we do this again we'll try to get more focused and tighten things up (also do a smaller battle).

Anyway, please take a look at the video we made. Any and all feedback on the format, presentation, style, approach, etc. would be awesome. We're curious where we can go with this format. Enjoy!
