"Although battle reports make up a large proportion of all wargaming writings, it has struck this blogger that there has not perhaps been as serious an investigation into the various types of battle reports (or after action reports, if you prefer) as the subject deserves. Having read and written many reports myself, having criticised and been criticised, having ignored and been ignored, having quietly turned away and been quietly turned away from, I feel I am as qualified or unqualified as the next joe to attempt a Summary of the Topic.

I introduce, therefore, A Taxonomy of Common or Uncommon Battle Reports. Note that these are not presented in alphabetical order…."

Interesting. having attempted a useful report I realized its not practical. To write one that is useful would need lots of drawings, tactical progress, description of tactical approaches. In effect a description that is at least an article long. The alternative is the pretty pictures with really a fairly meaningless description which does I admit fall into your excellent categories.
