Star Wars X-Wing Rd 1 Tournament Dec 2014

Dogs of war Gaming's channel has been producing battle reports on X-wing for a while and it shows. Superb image quality in 1080p with an excellent view of the play field and surrounding area which helps see damage cards and shield tokens being assigned and removed respectively. The play mat is very nice, not being glossy to prevent reflections from ceiling lights and not too black so that obstacle tokens are clearly visible.

Commentary is particularly competent and interesting but there are pauses and mistakes that let down the high standards. Battle in question is an imperial on imperial match up which is heavily rooted in the wave 5 meta with a VT-49 and tie phantom vs a VT-49 and TIE Defender.

As a point of note for all future content I would suggest that if you're not gonna put list details on screen at least make sure that you put the full lists played in the video description. There's no way we can read the cards on the table even in HD.

Another point of interest is that in the Dogs of War Gaming's channel the star wars dice app makes a regular appearance, so for those who are curious about the app but unsure of paying the $5 for it can get a pretty good idea of how it works.

Score: 8/10
