X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Finals Shuffle and Cut Games
The Shuffle & Cut Store championship comes to a spectacular close with this truly epic final round where former world champion Dallas Pàrker throws Soontir and Chiraneau headlong into a dual Aggressor list run by Brandon Cating. Please make sure to watch this game all the way through to the end for some truly incredible X-Wing moments and behold, mouth agape and green with envy Dallas' multiple sets of transparent regional winners dice in the lower right corner of the screen.

SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 9 (X-Wing)
The German language SZ-Wing channel produces their first video using the Scum and Villainy ships released recently.
this game features a double IG-88 list take on a Z-95 mini swarm backed up by Kavil and Torkil Mux.
Unfortunately they haven't provided their lists for this game so I cant be 100% sure which of the IG-88's were involved. I'm pretty sure they were B and C just because B is the obvious choice and it looks like they're getting the free evade tokens for boosts. the only way I know Kavil and Torkil were involved is because the Y-wing moves after the IG's and Torkil because they were checking for range two at the beginning of the combat phase.
With regards to the actual video quality the room is poorly lit with the major light source being the other side of the play field creating a back lit effect over most of the game pieces. Also due to the poor lighting evade and focus tokens are almost impossible to distinguish.

IQ Games X-wing Miniatures Store Championship - Round 6 of 6 - Mr Wilber...
IQ Games X-wing Miniatures Store Championship - Round 6 of 6 - Mr Wilber...
The sixth and final round of the IQ Games Store championship where the winner from this match would take a ship home as a prize.
Being as this is Mr Wilbert's first X-Wing match published to YouTube there are understandably a few points that could be improved. The first of those would be the Fish Eye lens. Whilst the fish eye has its uses and is very popular on go-pros and other portable recorders to achieve a greater field of vision, it really isn't conducive to X-Wing as the entire playfield needs to be clear and easily seen. The downside to the fish eye is that its focal zone is very centralised with a rapid and large falloff towards the edges, as such anything that isn't dead center of the lens suddenly starts to appear much further away than could be normally appreciated. As such for the beginning of this match the ships are occupying the other edge of the table so being able to appreciate the detail of the match (such as tokens placed dice rolled and even which ship is which) becomes far more complicated than necesary.
Also the camera would have benefitted heavily from a higher mounting, which would also help mitigate the failings of the fish eye lens.
Mr Wilbert's solo commentary is on the other hand a very good first effort with some pauses although these are an obvious consequence of recording a commentary alone, bringing in a partner who may not have participated in the game would help to keep the conversation going. The only down side to the audio is the background music can be a bit too loud at times drowning out the commentary.
All in all a good first effort from Mr Wilbert with plenty of options available for improvement.

SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 8 (X-Wing)
Even though the SZ-Wing channel appears to be a German channel I would be amazed if with all the audio shenanigans going that a German viewer could understand anything much less an English speaking viewer-
otherwise the video quality is pretty good but the unused space at the bottom of the screen could have been used to move the play field closer to the camera.

X-wing vs Star Trek Attack Wing "Borg Darrell" vs Bobby Mega-Autobots
HA HA HA HA HA. I had never seen the Star Trek Attack Wing stuff before. Here you have an X-wing versus star trek game and, to me at least, it´s hilarious.
on the serious side the video is actually pretty poor quality with considerable lag and auto focus problems.

Scum Release Pick-Up Game: Josh vs Bobby Rematch!
The Asheville Flight Club upload their first video featuring the new Scum and Villainy factions where they play two Wave six lists of against each other.
Video quality is a little poor and could be improved with at least a 720p HD option, the same can be said of the audio.

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.

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.
