'The Robber Knights - PART TROIS, a (long) Medieval battle report. Many pics P11

[OSHIROmodels]

One question , do you take notes during the game to write up the report afterwards or are you just going along the pictures you take during the battle?

He makes it up as he's writing it

This is a really good AAR indeed, the terrain is stunning as are the figures. And yes, I would like to live there

Thanks Tom
Yes, just working off the pictures snapped during the course of the game, and remembering what happened at each point. Obviously it's hard to remember a lot of the exact detail a few days afterwards, but the main events and turning points in the game are usually memorable

I think stopping to take notes as well as photographs during the course of a game would make it a lot less fun to actually play, and end up defeating the object of playing the game in the first place.  It's entertaining for people to read a report, and I do enjoy writing them - but it's secondary. (In many games, I don't take pictures at all because I just want to play and enjoy the game there and then )

Nice scenery, nice figures, not taken too seriously, laughs had.
What is there not to like?

[Bloggard]

just wonderful in every respect, not least the write-up.

I'm seriously beginning to run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the overall aesthetic of Richard's games.

Suffice to say; bravo! 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks chaps

Thanks Darrell, although it’s maybe not quite all that, since I literally just noticed in the pics that for much of that game, there was a tree plonked by someone (not me!) in the middle of the flipping river 

Ah, that’s what comes of reorganising a wargames tabletop in a hurry to get playing the next game

Oops! 

I blame you too

You must of moved it when I killed your knight

I had not spotted that incongruous tree. Now i can't stop looking at it. It has utterly wrecked this thread for me, and so it should be locked by the moderator (whoever that is).

It wouldn’t have been difficult to lean over you.....

I agree.
Shoddy.

Oh wait...

Great AAR. I enjoy a lot your games, tables and figures. Wonderful all!

How come you bastards get to have all the fun, while the rest of us linger in Corona induced gamelessness?  >: (

Lovely spread  and a most enjoyable battle report.

A most definite 'Plus One' to that.
