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.

ORS: Episode XX - X-Wing Battle Report - Tabletop game #1
After six months of publishing battle reports from vassal log files the Outer Rim Smugglers finally take the plunge into physical battle reports.
Here we see them adapt their onscreen interface to be used with a physical game using a fully top down camera angle and the squad indicators on the left and right margins.
They also substituted the lack of the dice roll window from vassal with their own dice roll animation and laser animations to help indicate attacks for the viewer.
as far as the video is concerned the only problem is the playfield used had some kind of a nebula or blackhole painted in the middle which creates a lot of noise and makes it harder to make out details in the play area.
The other downside is that the hosts themselves have become used to much shorter videos made from vassal logs where the pauses while players make a decision have been eliminated. In this case there are several moments that they are waiting for the game to progress and find them selves with little to say. hopefully with more videos of this kind under their belt they will start to find ways to fill the gaps and pauses to help keep viewer interest.

X-Wing Store Champs Testing Ground
The Weapons Grade channel hosted a Google Hangout in which they broadcast a game live.
Due to the nature of this video being an archived copy of a stream you can't ask too much of the video quality so my only complaint here is that brightness from lighting glare.
This game features an experienced player practising for a store championship whilst at the same time teaching the game mechanics to his newcomer opponent.
Dice rolls are called out clearly by the players which helps to aid in the lack of quality on the video. Also the table talk is friendly and comfortable.
The only downside is that this is one game that takes more than two hours, as such it can be a bit slow and require a good deal of time to sit through the whole thing.
