best battle report I've seen on you tube. Love the spinning table and sky background

I would say the only thing that could improve the battle reports clarity is if you painted the two warbands base rims different colours so its easy to see whos on which team

Interesting idea! Not to completely shoot you down, but a lot of these models are interchangeable between battle reports, warbands, and future games I plan on showcasing on the channel. Though, maybe some sort of "clip on" color base system could be doable, yet difficult with the plethora of different base sizes used in a game like Frostgrave. You've given me something to think about!

Your battle reports are some of the best on KZread. They are the best Frostgrave ones by far!

Thanks as always Gyriongyrion! And this is a good idea. Can't promise anything anytime soon, but this sounds like something I wouldn't mind giving it a try at some point!

I feel that the table and deployment are limiting the gameplay options. It would seem that its a case of run up to the edge of the drain, shoot/spell opponent, run away with loot and barely get into HTH. I would try different deployment, corner to corner or deploy so that the groups both start on the same side of the drain (at opposite ends) and they have to balance out engaging the enemy or moving sideways into or across the drain to collect treasure. Other than that I think the presentation of the gameplay is awesome, just need to mix the deployment up a little.

@DiceChatter

10 күн бұрын

Ooooh, a very good suggestion. Really appreciate this. Something as simple as changing the starting zone can really change the interactions we see on the table. Thank you!

The rotating board works really well, especially for what are essentially establishing shots like 6:11 / 13:39 or more dynamic angles such as 9:27 though I'd be mindful not to over use it and avoid any disorientation. Talking of which, it would be great to see the occasional top down angle, particularly during movement phase, to get a better understanding of the maps layout at the start and how each warband plans to approach it. Keep up the great work!

Great set-up

I really love the batreps, also the presentation is just amazing, I don't like the moving cams in vids as they feel like shakey handheld cams, here everything is clear and nice to look at ^^ For gameplay a flat ground with many small hills etc could be fun once, I do like the gap in the middle but would be cool to see it on an edge ^^ A kind of ambush scenerio could also be fun were Karen starts in the middle or surrounding her pray In the end, I really like the batreps, so just keep doing what you wanna do ^^

@DiceChatter

9 күн бұрын

For a simple answer, I use a lazy Susan underneath the table to get the fun spins and pans. As well as, I do my best to bring the camera to the level of the combatants. This gives the illusion that we are on the table with the miniatures, commencing battle along side them!

My friend and I played Frostgrave last night, so this battle report was perfectly timed! I like the new, speedier format, where resisting spells and other less exciting rolls happen offscreen. Your terrain is, as always, inspirational. How is the board with the big chasm working out? Do you find that there's less melee combat? The different color backgrounds when showing off the two wizards was a nice touch, and your paint jobs are awesome.

@DiceChatter

Chris, thank you buddy! Appreciate the kind words. To answer your question, the board is great! Though, I am starting to realize changing up some starting positions may be a good idea to create a more interesting match. Table corners or in the chasm itself.

Thanks a lot Shannon! The "dice tray" option is something I have been debating about showing or not showing in these reports. I feel a dice tray promotes a less narrative based battle. It turns the viewers focus towards mechanics and numbers rather than the story being presented. Again, something I am toying with. Maybe, I enjoy things a bit more thematic?...
