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.

X Wing Batrep 14 - Scum & villainy

There is light at the end of the tunnel. The days of Decimators being in every single battle report uploaded could soon be over as Wave 6 is about to go on sale.

One store in Melbourne, Australia received their allotment early (presumably because they are much closer to china) and by mistake started selling it for one day.

The Fly Casual boys managed to get their hands on them and as such became the first to upload an official battle report.

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.

X Wing Tournament Report #4 Round 1 Dash vs Leebo

Second video from the same tournament, for me details see the first video's post.

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.

X Wing Tournament Report #2 Round 3

In the final round of the Fly Casual tournament report Ian's Han, Luke and Airen list takes on some stiff competition from and imperial elite squad Which comes down to a nail biting conclusion.

X Wing Torunament Report #2 Round 2

The second round from the Fly Casual tournament report sees a Ian take his Han, Luke and Airen list up against a rebel swarm featuring five generic pilots all pilot skill 2 or below.

A very interesting game so take a look

X Wing Torunament Report #2 Round 1

The Australian Fly Casual channel brings of coverage of a tournament to win a wave 5 ship.

This round one match features an interesting line-up of ships with even Luke Skywalker stepping into an X-Wing on both sides of the playfield.

As usual the commentary from the Fly Casual guys is interesting and well paced. Video quality is of a high standard but dice rolls are still hard to make out.
