The tactics tab...

[afewveiws]

Does anyone else think the tactics page has just devolved into "battle report" links and normally nothing else?

Just wondering because it almost seems like links to battle reports could go into its own page and then the tactics page could go back to a discussion of options and play choices instead of a video library of YouTubers' games.

Yea, that’d be preferable.

There is a ongoing post for Tyranid Battle Reports in the general tab started by N.I.B.

I post all of my content in there to keep it in one spot and not have all kinds of posts. I think maybe we just encourage or add a rule to do this for battle reports unless a new tab is added of course.

Bat-reps are literally in the description for the Tactics tab, perfectly appropriate place for it. But yeah, I think (especially for youtube vids, which generally have less traction) just centralising in some manner seems a reasonable idea.

We’ve considered separating battle reports from the tactics board on several occasions. The reasons we haven’t done it in the past is because the velocity of the board wasn’t great enough and there wasn’t enough battle report threads. I use these two metrics to ensure people are comfortable posting their questions on the tactics board and every thread gets a good amount of time on the front page.

Using these two metrics let’s look at our tactics board. Is the velocity slow enough that every thread spends a food amount of time on the front page? Yes. Are people comfortable posting tactical questions on the tactics board? Yes. Looking at the tactics board we are about 50/50 on tactics threads and battle reports. I find this a good mix and am happy with it.

This is not to say that battle reports cannot be separated from the tactics board. I just don’t feel like the tactics board is flooded with enough battle reports at this time to justify it. If the trend continues and more battle reports get posted then we’ll consider splitting the board at that time.

If you feel like now is the time to split the board I’m more than willing to hear your argument for it.
