The Outer Rim Smugglers channel runs battle reports from vassal log files. In this case one of the commentators was one of the participants. Speaking of the commentary the two individuals are chatty and agreeable although their accents may make it difficult for some viewers to understand them. Even so they do an excellent job maintaining the chatter and commenting with very little dead air. This of course is made easier for them by using a vassal log as the action moves along much quicker than a standard game.
With regards to the Vassall battle report it can be very informative and equally interesting. However I find that at times they seem to skip through the log file a little too quickly making it dificult to follow all the dice rolls.
The production quality of Outer Rim Smugglers is very good, with ship stats being prominently displayed on the screen at all times and animations and sound cues used to inform of shield/ hull hits. They also present the full lists played at the begining of the video in a very clear manner.
The Outer Rim Smugglers have produced about a dozen of these videos so far and the draw factor of their videos in my opinion is the insightful commentary, the down side being that they use vassall logs.
Score: 8/10
