=== RFF ===

Reports from the field or RFFs are reminders of what happened during exceptionally or especially exhilerating moments from video games. Generally, strategy games make for great experiences and therefore it is a good idea to write RFFs to keep a trace of these moments, to look back and enjoy in the future.
