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.

Luminyrkki 2015 X-Wing Turnaus Santeri vs. Christer (Kierros 1)

Pori Xwing is a Finnish channel that occasionally publishes X-wing battle report.

The playfield is well covered and with a very good quality video only the ambient lighting may be over saturating the far edge of the playfield.

The hosts do provide a commentary track that seems to be pretty steady but as its in Finnish i couldn't comment any further.

X-Wing Store Championships - Round 3: Phantom/Firespray vs Triple Large ...

Northern Gaming Network is up to round 3 of their local store championships.
This Video is a must see if only so that you can know that no matter how many mistakes you make in a game of X-Wing, The phantom player in this match has you beat.

X-Wing Batrep 1 - Imperials vs Scum 100 pt Battle Report

TrevytheGreat is War Gaming channel that has been around for a while producing battle reports for various other game systems.

Here in this video he gives us his inaugural X-Wing Battle Report

Starting with a long and wordy introduction against only a star field backdrop it would have been better to include images or text when describing the lists being played. After theat the game gets going pretty quickly and he makes good use of time lapsing the video to keep the gmaeplay moving a bit quicker and also favours his solo commentary. Whilst the video is clear and well lit, the lack of HD resolution is a severe let down.

As i have already mentioned the host does a good job of providing a consistent and lively commentary.

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.

X Wing Video 3 Mission 5

In this channel focus series I will be publishing all the videos found on a specific channel to help complete the blog as a directory for all YouTube content. video analysis will not be necessary as the most recent video by the publisher has already been analysed.

X-Wing Video 4

Fortuitos gaming has uploaded a handful of videos in the past month and seems to be shaping up to be a channel that will have more content coming soon. 
The video quality is excellent with excellent focuses and all game elements identifiable. But I would prefer to see the camera a little higher and a lower angle so as to better cover the far edge of the play field which can seem a bit distant. 
The audio track is very very low so the volume will have to be turned up high. If you do choose to listen to the table talk there's not much chatter between the players, although to their credit they do a great job of announcing their actions so that it is very easy to follow along. 
A good video and I look forward to seeing more.
