X Wing Tournament Report #5 Round 3. Turrents can get it done

Star Wars X-wing store championship 14-03-15 round 2.1 Hermelijn Aalst b...

Thomas Laverze uploads a video of a recent store championship played at round one.

This video is well produced featuring Full HD resolution and and a play field that occupies a great deal of screen real estate.

The squad lists are in my opinion a littl too large and clutter the screen.

The video is from a German channel but there is no commentary just an on-board microphone to capture ambient sound and the table talk between the two players (which is practically non existent) which makes this video pretty accesible for international audiences..

X-Wing 100pts- FNP Wargamers Ep.2

FNP Wargamers Publish a video of a battle report at a freindly local game store.
This video is shot on a handheld camera which helps to keep dice rolls a tokens clear and visible to the viewer because the camera is much closer to the action. The down side to this is the activation phase is not covered in the video (mostly because the camera man needs both hands free to move ships). Because of this in this video they choose to leave all the movement templates on the table which ends up with the playfield being considerably cluttered during the combat phase.

X-Wing Battle Report 5

Here´s an excellent quality video from Kristofer Bengtsson in Sweden. The view of the table is clear and all details can be well identified, the only negative might be that the camera could have been quite a bit closer to the play area.

The channel host has also put a lot of effort into the post production work on his video, which includes a graphical introduction and a visual display of the squads at the edges of the screen. Once again to point out how things can be omproved the squadlists need to find a way of reflection how much damage has been taken by each ship (shield/Hull counters etc).

The commentary is very clear and well spoken English. The only problem I have with that the commentary is delivered by a sole individual in a semi-whisper quite intimate manner that I would have to liken to maybe Golf or Snooker commentary. This is not to say that this is not a good manner of commentating on a video, but i personally find it sends me to sleep as I get so relaxed. For real.

Anyway an excellent video and a pretty good match between two similar lists.

X-Wing Store Championship - Double Falcon vs Jax Whisper Howlrunner

Northern Gaming Network brings us another match from their store championship. This match sees a double falcon list go up against an TrIEfecta of TIEs.

the commentary on this video features one of the players and you can listen in and see exactly why I always say that at least one of the commentators should have played in the match. The insight that Ian provides into the play by play game information takes a lot of the pressure of the other commentators and results in a much more natural and informative conversation.

Star Wars X-Wing Store Championship Tournament Rd 5

The Dogs of War Gaming channel continues to give us coverage from their store championship in Florida.
The video quality once again is great giving a clear view of all pieces in play, well lit and presented in 1080p HD.
And the commentators also do a great job of keeping the conversation active and interesting.

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.
