Video After Action

[Ashcloud]

Nice examples of game play for the SB series. A good first attempt. I have not seen SB videos before like this, though I have seen videos of other war games.

Would be more interesting with some voice over commentary as to what is going on. Doing so might slow down your play style a bit thus lengthening the game (and film clips). However, some of the action is pretty fast and maybe hard for novice players of the game or those just interested in the game series to follow what is going on.

Example: Voice: Now the British are firing illumination rounds to uncover the second and third Argentine defense positions further up the hill. Now than these positions are illuminated the forward observer...

(click on his counter and point to his image... hold a few seconds) click on artillery dialog (maybe better to use a hot key so the viewer does not get dizzy following the fast cursor all over the place)

voice: calls in the 105mm battery on the enemy's second line. (pause as artillery shells begin to drop) Good, the guns are on target this time!

Ok, that sounds maybe a bit cheesy, but I think it illustrates my point that people watch these videos to either improve their game and pick up tricks from a master player like yourself or they are searching to see game play because they are interested in buying the game. The latter just want to know how complex or easy game play looks among other things, I think.

Without these things, it would be like posting an AAR here in the forum with only some images and no text as to what is going on. BTW, voice overs do not have to be perfect.

I think you might get more views if you could expand your description of each video with a paragraph of the overall action in each segment. More words = more key words = more searches to find you on YouTube = more views. A plug for the blitz SB forum would not hurt either.

Still a good show for the first I have ever seen on the series. With a voice over there has to be a way to award some points like we would for a more traditional AAR. If you are game Landser34, I will talk it over with the SB commanders.

Good comments, and should get AAR points if voiced and linked in the AAR section.
