Hi all,
Well we manage another game of epic. It was 3000 point per side and it was between YME-LOC CRAFTWORLD(4.2) and Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.24 *APPROVED*)

Trent played the YME-LOC CRAFTWORLD(4.2) and I played the Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.24 *APPROVED*)

Thanks for the report.

I had problems with attention span and the 10 second spacing of the photos. I tended to lose track of where the game was and couldn't go back and forth as with a video.

Thanks for reading..

Yeah I think more planning is need and I need some Que's to say when things happen etc..I was thinking of making a gif for each turn.. although that could also have it problems and shorting the spacing between frames would help...

I use between 2-4 seconds for each photo in my video reports.

(Note to self: must do more testing & reports)

I also had problems:-

• The text is too small to read from a phone (and probably from tablet), but I could not open up / expand the .gif to make it legible. Even on a PC I had difficulties where some of the wording on the picture was cropped by the framing on the screen.
• I agree the frame timings hindered things to the point where I gave up.
• I tend to skim read things, looking for the salient parts of the battle ;- Orbat, terrain layout and objective placement, turn #2 and #3 initiative and initial activations, etc.
  Obviously this is not possible with .gifs
  I suspect these activities may not be easy when watching a video unless they have been separately identified with some form of caption (think silent movies captions)
• Finally, I suspect that others look for different things, have different reading habits and speeds and especially different technology and skills.
  I am not convinced that it is possible to provide for different tastes and other requirements this way.

Bottom line, while I appreciate the time and effort put into this, this didn't work for me.
OTOH, videos might be a different matter since people have more control over the way they are delivered.

Thanks for the feed back ginger..

Yeah it not going work on all fronts..I will look at Video making a little later..

I have add the photos by turn, to the report.. so that it can be read and not watch the gif..
