X-Wing Store Championship - Round 2
Round two of the store championship in Norwich brought to you by Athena Games.
Once again the video quality suffers from a lack of 1080p and poor focus.
The Athena games channel on the other hand has some of the best commentators available within the X-Wing community.

POST COMMENTARY #3 - Store Championship Pescara - Finale
The Italian channel X-Wing Academy covers the final of their local store championship.
The video quality in this video is particularly poor due to it being archived from a live stream hangout.
The hosts give a good commentary although being as how it is all in Italian the international viewer may have difficulty following the game action.
Thanks should be given to this store championship for having a large ship meta, this final features four Firesprays and a Lamba with a solitary Soontir Fel dashing inbetween the behemoths.

X-Wing Store Championship - Round 1
Athena Games bring coverage of their local Store championship in Norwhich,UK.
Here they start off on the ground floor with a first round battle report.
The production quality is good on this series of videos. The squad information overlays on the left and right of the screen is nice and simple yet still bold and clear to make it as easy as possible to asses the game progress at any time.
Video quality suffers considerably by being just slightly out of focus, and in combination with a maximum resolution of 720p some of the smaller details are hard to make out (dice rolls and maneuver dials are particularly difficult to make out.
But where Athena games really shines is in the commentary. In this case the two hosts do an excellent job of discussing the game in a natural manner. They are both enthusiastic and informative at the same time. Definately an example to follow with regards for how to do commentary right.

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.

X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Round 4.2 Shuffle and Cut Games
SoCal X-Wing's coverage of the Shuffle & Cut Store Championship is one of the most complete tournament coverage I've seen to date. Each round features two matches played with a good clear view of the playfield. Whilst commentary is missing in these Swiss rounds the fact that they went to the effort of making sure to document so much play with a wide variety of lists is definitely worthy of note.
The only thing lacking from this collection of videos is that they don't get up to 1080p resolution.
This round four match seems to have been a huge coincidence of seeding as two lists, both featuring a lambda and two arc dodgers, battle it out.

Another match from the Shuffle & Cut store championship round three of Swiss
X-Wing 2015 Store Champs Round 3.1 Shuffle and Cut Games
SoCal X-Wing continues to upload some excellent quality videos from the Shuffle & Cut Store championship.
As these videos are still covering the Swiss rounds they have decided not to provide commentary and are saving that for the elimination rounds where the games will be more intense.
Check back in the next few days to find those videos.

X-Wing - Store Championship 2015 - Pescara
Video coverage of a store championship in Italy which was broadcast live over google hangouts
The video quality is as terrible as you would expect from a stream and the audio quality lives up to the same standard.

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 Battle Report 2015-02-19
Another new channel turns up this week, this time in the form of the dutch speaking Target Lock Channel.
They seem to have a very strong commentator that has no trouble keeping a conversation constant and also discusses the match enthusiastically which helps to hold attention.
However the down side is this death star surface mat. I know of a least a couple of other channels that started with this play mat only to discard it as soon as possible. The main problem is that the manufacturer wanted to give an impression of depth but the extra long shadows provide too much contrast and effectively act as camoflage making it hard to make things out even whilst the play area is well lit.

DGA Plays: Star Wars: X-Wing - Game #35 (Ep. 72)
Another casual game from Dad's Gaming Addiction.
Of note here is that I believe this might be the first of their games to use obstacle tokens which is nice to see that junior is starting to feel more and more confident.

"ACADEMY'S POST COMMENTARY"#1 - Road To Store Championship - Tappa 1 - R...
The Italian X-Wing Academy take their battle reports out of the kitchen and into the store championships.
This video features some new improvements by the italian channel with an interesting way of introducing a list through the text crawl, and a full commentary recorded through post production. The commentary, although in italian is a constant lively and freindly conversation between the two hosts commenting on the match and hand.
The Achilles heel to this whole new package is the video quality which lacks even a 720p version.

X-Wing Trainingsfight 1
Another new channel to show up this week is SZ-Wing which I'm guessing is a German speaking channel.
I have to guess because a combinaion of extremely low level audio and almost complete lack of conversation between the players makes it hard to tell. This however could be an effort not to alienate english viewers and produce a more cross culture video product.
The video quality is however very and clear, with maybe a lack of lighting but otherwise excellent.
Dice rolls when done in view of the camera can be identified, the only negative with regards to the video is the distance from the playfield, giving an excellent view of the space below the playfield where nothing is happening.
And on a final night I would also like to give a note that in this milieu of acrylic tokens some people are willing to break the mould with wooden beads.

X-Wing Store Championship Round 1 Vader Swarm vs Triple Large
The Wookiees on X-Wing from Northern Gaming bring us the first in a series of videos of a local store championship.
Video quality suffers from a heavily damaged play surface and glaring overhead lights.
However the commentary helps capture viewer interest.
