Star Wars X-Wing State Championship Florida Tournament Rd 1

The Dogs of War Gaming channel come strong out of the gate with this first round coverage of the Florida state championship. They do a great job of timelapsing the footage at a speed to condense the game down well but not so fast to be detrimental to the gameplay. An excellent little 30 minute battle report.

ChalX-Wing Season 2 Episode 0

As a means to promote their current Indy gogo funding campaign the Chalk Board Game Reviews releases a preview episode of their battle reports, Promising that should they reach their funding goal they will produce twelve further battle reports.
For production values the Chalk are world class. Games are played in a well lit environment and video quality is as good as it gets with full 1080P HD and very clear focus at all times. At every point of the game all elements are fully recognisable including dice rolls where you can actually tell the difference between a focus and a critical hit result without needing the hosts to tell you. Then even take the time to include special effects such as laser blasts and explosions when attacks hit, although in this video they didn't seem to use too much of that.
The audio consists of the table talk between the two players which in most cases leads to a lot of silence however in this case the players are fully aware that they are being recorded and having produced videos for over a year now they are able to keep the conversation going at all times to keep the viewer interested. They even go into rules discussion and a little bit of hazing, all of which helps to make the experience even better for the viewer.
Overall the Chalk X-wing series are an excellent way to get your X-wing fix, and I would highly reccommend that you consider pledging on the indygogo campaign.

Star Wars X Wing Store Championship Tournament Finals

The Dogs of War Gaming held a store championship this past weekend. Here we have an excellent quality video of the final match. With full 1080P all game details can be made out and the match can be followed very easily. Now as I said this match was played just this weekend so with recording commentary and such, publishing this video in less than 48 hours is pretty good on the part of the Dogs of War Gaming although it would be nice to include a squad list with shield and hull indicators as most of the higher quality channels are doing.

Commentary is pretty much on par not too interesting but manages to avoid being too boring even though there are some pretty big pauses.

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 Casual in Ballarat Round 3 - A stressful game

Match three of Fly Casual's non competetive games from Ballarat, Australia

X Wing Casual in Ballarat Round 2 - HWK's get the job done

Match two from the non competitive games recorded in Ballarat by Fly Casual
This match is most notable for the inclusion of a Rebel Operative HWK-290 pilot which is pretty much non existence in regards to competitive play. In this match the HWK-290 is loaded with a Recon Specialist + Moldy Crow title and a blaster turret.

BoLS Battle Report #203 | Rear Admiral Chiraneau vs Dash & Friends | X-Wing

The Bell of Lost Souls blog uploads a timelapsed battle report where the playfield is so noisy its hard to see most of the action taking place as tokens camouflage into the background.
The host does a great job of summarising the gameplay although I feel if he had a partner a more conversational style would be more interesting to the viewer.

X-Wing Madness Round 7: Dash Vs Leebo

Crabbok decides to play against himself to see who will win between Leebo and Dash in the YT-2400.

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.

2015 Star Wars X Wing Miniatures Game Store Champ FINALS James Matchett ...

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.
