Battle Reports Etoy

By polmoneys, in X-Wing

Introducing a little tool for creating visuals for your battle reports or to plan your turn 0. Like those Vassal screenshots I’ve seen around but imo faster to create.

Be aware it will only be pleasant to use on desktop (big screen) as thumbs are big and the ‘mat’ can't be scaled down properly to fit on mobile. On tablet should be fine/operational.

tips

  • All the 'things' inside the ‘mat’ can be dragged around and rotated by using the circle attached to the 'thing'. To place a 'thing' inside the 'mat' (like a big base) just click it, will appear inside the red little pop up. Rinse and repeat.
  • Combat mode adds two editable ‘cards’ so that you can add context to what we see on the ‘mat’ (pilot, dice rolls, actions...)
  • If you want to share it, for now, you should take a screenshot (on a mac: shift + cmd + 4)
  • There is a FAQ button on site, it's short, take a quick look at it for more details

roadmap (can't commit to dates, life...)

  • Shareable link like YASB
  • I'm not sure how secondary arcs work and some measurements (rocks/debris) are not 100% accurate, once v2 lands I'll be updating them
  • Fine tune collision detection (firing arc bases and rocks all 'have it' now but needs work)
  • ask a designer to give it some love

Hope you like it ?

Pretty nifty! Should be useful. I like the aesthetics.
