I also like to get in a game of any type with my brother when I can. These are leisurely affairs that often devolve into rules-research sessions and strategy discussions. Beer-drinkers and hell-raisers, we are. However, he has agreed to shift gears and push me to speed up my game. This will be helpful, since a non-mech army will have a higher model count and more close combat than I am used to.
I also plan to use these smaller games to test out some ideas I have for battle-reporting. I have the feeling that this type of writing hasn't quite matured. Some battle reports grip me, others lose me mid-battle. With the possibility of video, audio, revolving slides, animations, roll-over pop-ups, and more, I feel like there is room for improvement in this genre. If anyone has format suggestions or consistently good sites to recommend, I am very interested.
I hope I can succesfully command my force AND report on its exploits simultaneously. If not, my brother will gladly dispatch the dispatcher. So stay tuned!
