​Current game systems are Warmachine, Hordes, 40K, 30K, Warhammer Fantasy, Malifaux, Infinity and x-Wing.

Proposed Features

  • Anyone can create beautiful Battle Reports that are mobile friendly and standardised - for free!

  • Select from different layout modes to suit your style or writing and play style; - each turn (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) - top & bottom of each turn - start, middle, end

  • Allows Battle Report readers to view Battle Reports in three readable modes to suit the level of detail they wish to get from a Battle Report; - full - summary - gallery and presentation

  • Import army lists from Battlescribe and Army Builder to easily showcase your lists.

  • Upload up to 12 photos per turn in your Battle Reports to showcase your battlefield in all its glory.

  • Overlay text, boxes and arrows onto images to clearly show the flow of the battle.

  • Search for other reports by game system, army, winning army, points value, number of turns and mission type.

  • Gain achievements and badges for adding your Battle Reports.

  • Have your Battle Reports commented on and rated by other users.

  • Share your reports easily to Facebook and Twitter.

  • Export summary reports to Wordpress, Blogspot and forum formats.


    • My first report is up to showcase the first completed "view" or "reading" mode.

    Thoughts, comments, ideas and suggestion very welcome!

    This looks pretty darn cool dude. How will it integrate with forum software like dakkas or blog sites etc?


    I was thinking of having a Summary export, where it would export to HTML, BB code, etc that can then be placed directly into Blogspot, or Wordpress or a forum.

    I say Summary because a full report would kill my bandwidth due to images being served from my site, rather than view the forum.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/634534/7570075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/634534/7570075.page GMT     Battle Report Builder - Comments & Feedback Wanted! Many people upload their batrep pics to it because
    A. its easy to use
    B. has huge capacity
    C. some images held offsite dont display (say in work or on different browsers etc).

    I personally wouldnt be inclined to host pics on dakka and then also on your own site Im afraid :(

    If my site was to use the images from Dakka it may not even work if they disable hot linking. Which is where you include an image on one site, but its hosted elsewhere.

    Also if you delete your images or Dakka moves them then the images will break on my site with no easy way to fix it.

    If I were to import them then its going to still need you to assign each image from Dakka to a turn on my site.

    If I were to do the opposite, e.g. export the full report to a forum format for posting on Dakka I would be giving up my bandwidth, in terms of images with no gain in traffic to the actual site. I would essentially be a free image server. In theory that doesn't work in the long term. Reality may be different.

    Ideally, my site would replace the reports on Dakka - this is a forum for posts. Not a purpose built platform for creating, maintaing and sharing battle reports :-)]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/634534/7571825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/634534/7571825.page GMT     Battle Report Builder - Comments & Feedback Wanted!
