For each of my games I was able to quickly batrep the game on my phone using the native Keep Notes program. Worked surprisingly well, probably wouldn’t have bothered if it hadn’t.
I have not recorded every single ounce of action that
happened i.e. I didn’t bother recording if caps or overwatch happened on
incoming units except if things died totally etc - i didn't record how many casualties each action inflicted - and once my units were all
used I just mention that the other player activated all their 'Remaining formations’. Additionally,
I’ve made no effort to differentiate between different formations of the same
type, or even correctly name formations/units that were played (if the list shows Bikes double and then later Bikes advance then there were probably two 'Bikes' units - and could refer to Ork Bikes or Eldar hover 'Bikes'). The idea to get
a general idea of what went down, no more no less.
The army lists (stashed/available elsewhere) from the
players could potentially be used to name the formations/units better, and
potentially photos (if taken) could be used to determine similar – that was
not the intention of the project.
Basically, it was just a ‘something I did’.

BTS vs BTS
Notes
The BTS formations were both off the board (BT Lander –
TS Spacecraft) at end of turn 3 so treated as BTS achieve for both sides.
* Stupid mistake, but still a relatively minor loss.
Forgot it was turn 3. Should have brought on transports
to contest blitz etc. Or at least bring my BTS on in a safe area. Would have
made a 1 point difference loss, not 2 points difference.
I may have lost my BT's on the way in though.
But even that would have negated if I'd lost on turn 3.
As his was on spacecraft.
Both Strat 5. Both with spacecraft. Lots of AA from
Defilers.
