The summary style format is great at keeping the video length to a reasonable amount, while the narrative of what happened makes it easy to tell what is going on. I was surprised there was so little infantry or was this a narrative tank battle ? The terrain was very sparse, I think some buildings to block some lines of sight and allow infantry to garrison wohld help a lot. Still a great battle report overall and I look forward to more from you.
Thank you for the kind words! What we might do next time is film a summary after each phase; that should keep the video length down while giving us more time to describe events. Terrain is the soul of this game, so you're right to point out how sparse it was. We used one of the missions from the new Tallarn book, so it is very armor focused. We usually play with a lot more terrain, but we thought an open North Africa feel might suit Tallarn better. I plan to do a video on terrain sometime soon.
Generally, yes -- but this mission was from the Devastation of Tallarn book, which is focused on armor. Tallarn itself has a WWII in North Africa feel, so we thought that a more open table would be suitable. Our other battle report shows a regular book mission with about as much terrain as we normally use.

dont you need way more terrain for this game?

For this kind of field the AL needed a Thunderhawk(s)
Thunderhawks do make excellent gunships. I'm not sure Jeff has one assembled, though.
