SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 5 (X-Wing)
SZ-Wing continue to bring new video content to their recently launched YouTube channel.
This video is in my opinion an excellent example of how much screen space the play field should occupy with just enough space surrounding the play field.

X-Wing Battle Report 2015-02-19
Another new channel turns up this week, this time in the form of the dutch speaking Target Lock Channel.
They seem to have a very strong commentator that has no trouble keeping a conversation constant and also discusses the match enthusiastically which helps to hold attention.
However the down side is this death star surface mat. I know of a least a couple of other channels that started with this play mat only to discard it as soon as possible. The main problem is that the manufacturer wanted to give an impression of depth but the extra long shadows provide too much contrast and effectively act as camoflage making it hard to make things out even whilst the play area is well lit.

Another match from the Atlanta Game Company store championship. It would be nice to know which match was being played here, round two? semi final? etc...
once again this is a repeat of a video uploaded about a month ago. This is an excellent match of five A-Wings against a VT-49 Decimator going down to a nail biting finish

North Atlanta Game Company also brings us some coverage from their store championship, starting with the final.
on further inspection this video is a video of a store championship that was previously uploaded from FCB comics and games back at the end of January. Maybe the FCB channel changed its name to North Atlanta to include another store in its video content.

Star Wars X Wing Store Championship Tournament Rd 4
Moving on to round four in the Dogs of War gaming channel's store championship coverage.
The Tournament organiser having known that this table was going to be filmed should have made an effort to get more variety in the players/lists assigned to this table. The same rebel swarm has been in three of the four videos uploaded for this championship so far.

Star Wars X-Wing Store Championship Tournament Rd 2
The Dogs of War Gaming channel from down in Florida keep their store championship coverage coming.
What I like about their videos is that they are spacing them out well, This one came out a week ago, and round one a week before that. Then today they uploaded round three and four together so maybe it was just because they didn't have the time to get ready.
And speaking of which your probably all saying wait he said this video went up last week, whys he blogging about it now. Well due to a colleague being sick at work and myself getting pretty heavily sick last weekend my time has been heavily restricted and ever since I have been fighting back the tide of uploads. I've almost got it under control though and soon should be fully up to date.
Anyway back to this video. I like the idea of publishers spacing out their uploads rather then uploading everything in one go and then waiting six weeks before posting more content.
The video quality in this batrep is excellent as we have come to expect from dogs of war gaming. The commentary however is a bit slow and drawn out, and I'm not gonna say that the commentators were drunk while recording but there is the sound of two steel beverage containers being opened in the first five minutes of the video (haha).

X-wing Moscow All-Star. Group №2 Round №2
The Russian Geek-Games.ru Channel uploads a battle report from some sort of All Star league they appear to be running in Moscow.
Now this video is pretty heavy on the russian using cyrilic alphabet making things more dificult to understand for non-russians.
that said the video quality is well lit with a high clear camera angle and the only downside being that ships on the far edge of the play area get cut off half way up their stems.
The two hosts offering the commentary seem to keep up a constant conversation with very few pauses and a natural flow which I'm guessing if I could understand russian would help to hold my interest.

X-Wing - FFG Worlds 2014 - Finals
Team Covenant bring their trademark high quality video production standard to the 2014 world championship final match.
If you have already seen the Fantasy Flight Games video of the final then you may feel that this presents a better view of the table with better video quality and contrast level.
In this video even the commentary is well maintained despite Stephen's penchant for trolling the viewer with his disaffected/uninterested hipster routine which he seems to have kept to a minimum on this game.
The only complaint I can level against team covenant on this one is the tiny little number overlays they use to identify the ships. Maybe it's my TV but they just don't contrast enough against the dark background colors to be able to make them out well, dice results are easier to see than these numbers.

POST COMMENTARY #2 - Road To Store Championship Pescara - Finale
The Italian X-wing Academy continue to try to refine their presentation technique, now including shield and hull counters on the lateral edges of the screen.
This time the video quality has improved slightly but the distance from the camera to the playfield is too much to be able to tell which ship is which on the table. The commentary once again seems well presented.

"ACADEMY'S POST COMMENTARY"#1 - Road To Store Championship - Tappa 1 - R...
The Italian X-Wing Academy take their battle reports out of the kitchen and into the store championships.
This video features some new improvements by the italian channel with an interesting way of introducing a list through the text crawl, and a full commentary recorded through post production. The commentary, although in italian is a constant lively and freindly conversation between the two hosts commenting on the match and hand.
The Achilles heel to this whole new package is the video quality which lacks even a 720p version.

X-Wing Trainingsfight 1
Another new channel to show up this week is SZ-Wing which I'm guessing is a German speaking channel.
I have to guess because a combinaion of extremely low level audio and almost complete lack of conversation between the players makes it hard to tell. This however could be an effort not to alienate english viewers and produce a more cross culture video product.
The video quality is however very and clear, with maybe a lack of lighting but otherwise excellent.
Dice rolls when done in view of the camera can be identified, the only negative with regards to the video is the distance from the playfield, giving an excellent view of the space below the playfield where nothing is happening.
And on a final night I would also like to give a note that in this milieu of acrylic tokens some people are willing to break the mould with wooden beads.

Pick-Up Game: Casey "The Hammer" vs Sky "Han + Horn"
Asheville Flight Club is a new channel that debuted this week uploading two Battle Reports. Described as Pick-up Games I'm guessing the hosts had no intention to produce broadcast quality videos. All the same they did a good job of creating a basic hull/shield tracker overlay. The only downside to the overlay is that there is a banner bar at the bottom of the screen which takes up too much space and reducers the play field to about a quarter of the whole screen size. Although looking at the video quality I'm thinking that this was more done by necessity having recorded at a low resolution setting. Having said that the video is of poor quality they play at a casual pace and most dice rolls are clear if not through visual means by conversation between the players and visually seeing the player remove shields or taking damage cards.
For audio there is no commentary just table talk with long drawn out pauses and when there is conversation the sound quality is so poor as to make it difficult to understand very much.

X-Wing Store Championships Game 2 - Leebo double B vs Double Falcon
A pretty generic video of a store championship match from the Northern Gaming Network channel. The video quality suffers from a lack of 1080p, poor focus and light saturation. dice rolls are not clear and the commentators don't give much insight into the dice results so you pretty much have to guess whats happening based on how many dice the players point to.
The commentary is a constant conversation with few pauses but the tone could be more lively to prevent the viewer falling asleep, especially towards the end game as you start to fall asleep just watching two ship go round in circles.

National Russian Championship
If the description is to be beleived this is video of the first Russian national X-Wing championship. There is no information of when this was filmed but it does appear to have been a stream backup as evidenced by the poor image and sound quality. Apart from this there is not much to see as it is a locked off camera filming the room where a bunch of people mill about other people playing X-Wing. Maybe the commentary is of some use if you understand russian and can put up with the poor quality.

Extra points for having Return of the Jedi playing on a TV in the background.
And the take away lesson from this game is dont bring a Lambda to a Decimator fight.

This weekend they wanted to show off a new play field consisting of a fibre optic lit starfield covered in protective glass. The star field is a neat idea but in the case of shooting video in this way gives too much reflection of the store roof.
Video quality is good considering that it is from a twitch archive and once again the commentator does a good job but he could probably do with a sidekick to help him along.
This is a particularly long game uploaded in two parts and featuring two Decimator + TIE Swarm.

Looks like The Wyverns Tale in north carolina had their store championship this weekend and also decided to twitch stream the event. Then the video got uploaded to YouTube.
They used a camera mounted directly over the play field and include an overlay interface which I found to be more of a waste of space than anything else.
So due to the low ammount of screen space occupied by the play field and the long distance a direct overhead cam requires the finer details such as dice rolls are hard to follow.
Audio is present but is recorded on a very poor microphone with a lot of clipping and excessive noise from spectators but not much conversation from the players.
This video in particular is the final of the store championship so they really should have put more effort into having someone commentate the game, Another complaint is that the game takes forever to get going, With the first dice rolls coming at the 23 minute mark, make sure you skip ahead to avoid a drawn out setup sequence and opening moves.

X Wing Batrep 13 - Arcanacon XXXIII Epic table
This is an interesting Video from Fly Casual. At a convention 8 players got together to play a huge team epic game. A game so big they couldn't fit it on one screen. Four playfields lined up side by side to make an avenue of space warfare. All in all a four hour game is compressed down to about 15 minutes. The timelapse format makes sense here as it isn't so fast that you can't follow some of the game but a game of this size would be too complicated to follow through a video, I suppose you really would have had to be there.
A good video.
A good video.

Cancon Day 1: Timelapse Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures 2
StephenDann uploads a bunch of new videos from his CanCon tournament.
These videos are a mix of timelapse and curious angles that all in all doesn't make much of any coverage by themselves. Also the audio track is entirely convention background noise and any conversation between the players is lost.
So I decided to compile them all here in one post so if you're looking for timelapse you can check them all out together.

X Wing:Store Championship 3ª Tappa
The Italian language D20Games channel uploads a round three match from their store championship.
Video is good quality considering that full 1080p isn't available. Dice rolls, as always, are hard to make out.
There is an audio track but it is so faint it is impossible to understand anything.
lists haven't been provided in description or in the video in any way.

Lists are not provided in the description or on screen, So you have to hope that the players do a good job of clearly describing their lists.
This Video has basically just been recorded off the table and uploaded so don't expect anything special.

The video in this case is of excellent quality, well lit and the play field occupies the entire height of the screen making all details clear.
The commentary is also well done, a few mistakes and slightly out of sync but a good effort for having not participated in the match in question

Wednesday Night Xwing 2/4/2015
Russell Thayer uploads his second X-Wing video this time getting much better. This game appears to have been played in a store as evidenced not only by the background noise from 40k players but also by the excessive glare from the florescent overhead lights.
Other than this the video quality is good enough to follow most of the game. The conversation between the player however is lacking, this is understandable as they are obviously concentrating on the game. When choosing to record a game however players should try to keep the conversation up and if it's not possible then consider recording a commentary in post production.

Once again being part of a stream the video quality isn't of the highest quality and there is a lot of glare from the store lights that make details harder to make out.
The solo commentator does an excellent job but i feel the commentary will always seem more natural when there are two participants to be able to make it more conversational.

X-Wing Batrep: 3 TIE Devilmator vs. YT-1300+2400
The Daily Dial continues uploading their battle reports where they shoot a video after each phase of gameplay and proceed to give us a brief summary of the action. I´m not to say that this format for a battle report isn't valid but I find myself asking why they don't just film the action anyway, they would save a lot of time having to recap and remember everything that happened. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that their camera is recording in 1080p 60fps that they are limited to recording in short bursts, I´m not sure. Either way it seems a waste to upload a video of a match but not being able to see the match, they might as well have made a slideshow and recorded a commentary track in post production.

X-wing Academy mexico (battle report 1)
The x-wing academy México channel uploads it's first battle report and it's a pretty good effort.
The graphics overlays are well presented although the hull and shield indicators are just rectangles drawn roughly into location. The video is out of focus and doesn't cover the whole play area but to their credit they do zoom in when the action becomes isolated in a specific area of the play field.
What is particularly of note in this BatRep is the commentary. Now being that this is a Mexican channel the commentary is entirely in Spanish but the two hosts are genuinely enthusiastic, affable and keep a constant conversation. If you speak or are studying Spanish definitely give this video a go.
Vätterspel X-Wing Winter Tournament battlereport #2
This seems like a good week for X-Wing channels to improve the production quality on their videos.
This time it's Swedish channel spelkult bringing a newly updated graphics layouts and animations to show the damage removing hull points and shields.
I would still prefer to see them bring the camera down closer to the table and let the play field occupy more screen real estate.
Another interesting feature is that they include a magnifying glass to zoom in on the dice rolls, which could be very effective but in this case they only seem to use it once.

Star Wars X-Wing: Wave Five Demo Game (Oicunn vs Dash)
Northern Gaming finally gets around to a demonstration game of the wave five ships.
In this batrep the cammera is hung directly above the play field which usually results in it being a considerable distance from the play surface and as such make dice rolls difficult to make out especially when 1080p is not available. however the field is well lit meaning all tokens are clearly visible. The last comment regarding the video quality is that everything seems to in soft focus making small details even harder to make out.
The commentary on the other hand is well done and the hosts do a good job of keeping the conversation going as much as possible and also informing on the more important game events.

ORS: Episode XVI - X-Wing Battle Report - TCAces Round 4 - Sozin vs Dom
The Outer Rim Smugglers channel continues their coverage of the Team Covenant Aces tournament on vassal.
In this video they have completely revamped their graphics presentation, including a new way of condensing the squad lists, a targeting computer that gives crit descriptions and most importantly combat exchanges are now demonstrated showing laser beams beeing fired between the two ships involved. This just goes to show their commitment to the quality of their videos and their intent to make them as accessible by the widest possible audience.
The laser beams are not perfect yet, they are animated quickly and so it can be hard to tel which ship attacked, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

X-Wing Vätterspel Winter battlereport #1
Swedish channel Spelkult uploads a video of what I assume is a winter tournament.
The video has been shot pretty high up with an exaggerated fish eye lens meaning we see a lot more of whats going on elswhere in the room than on the play field. Although they employ sound cues and animation to demonstrate damage results making it easy to follow the game.
Although I don't understand swedish the commentators seem to do a good job of a consistent conversation with very few breaks and pauses, so swedish viewers should find it of interest.

X Wing Tournament Report #4 Round 2 Whisper vs Chewbacca
Fly Casual brings coverage from yet another tournament. This time the following four videos are all covering Ian's matches throughout the day.
In a departure from their usual style no commentary track was recorded for this video, Instead they have used the table chatter to fill in for the commentary. I am quite impressed as usually the onboard mic on whatever device is recording the game has a pretty poor reach but in the case of this video both players can be clearly heard. Ian himself does as much as possible to fill quiet spots of the games and to aid the player in following the game action, However there are still times when he is not able to compensate for the lack of a commentary track.
The video is well lit and a clean playfield makes it easy to identify smaller tokens. Dice rolls however, as always, are hard to make out in any video that is less than 1080p (720p maximum in this case).
This particular tournament appears to have been heavily entrenched in the Wave 5 meta with pretty much all matches using no more than 4 ships.

This is a pretty poor quality video of two guys practicing for store championships.
The poor quality makes it very difficult to make out most of the table action, although they are experienced war gamers so their habbits of grouping dice make it easy to tell how many hits land.
They do seem to have some interesting repaints on their ships which would make seeing a HD video a lot more interesting.

Late night Xwing
Russell Thayer Opens a new channel and the first of his videos to upload is a battle report featuring a very casual game using generic only pilots.
The camera is nice and low and close to the play field which makes it easy to make out all obstacle tokens, dice rolls etc. The only downside being that ships on the far edge of the table disappear out of view of the camera, this happens with a TIE Defender at one point.
All in all the video presentation is very good considering the ammateur setup involved, in the future correcting the dutch angle that he has going on should make for some excellent videos.
The commentary is very sparse, as I mentioned before this is a very casual game between two friends that just happened to be recorded and uploaded to youtube. There is occasional conversation and in fact the host discusses his musings on the posibility of uploading these videos to YouTube. There are occasional long pauses in conversation and as the video hasnt been edited the planning phase can be a bit slow at times.
On the whole this video is a good example of how easy it is to record your game to create X-Wing content for the whole community. A good idea to improve the format would be to edit out the planning phase and maybe have the host and his opponent (or a neutral third party) record a commentary track.

BoLS Battle Report #200 | X-Wing Wave 5 NetLists Battle
I saw this video last week but didn't get round to writing a blog post for it.
Bell of Lost Souls channel published a video where they try out some netlists of the Wave 5 ships.
The video is well presented with the gameplay played back at a slightly elevated speed, but not too fast to make it difficult to follow alone. The channel host also does a good job at solo commentating/narrating the match.
Overall this is a very good video, it's just a shame that Bell of Lost Souls don't produce more X-Wing content as they are a mostly 40K channel.
