Pick-Up Game: Chase "Triple X" vs Tim "3 Squints"

Asheville Flight Club return after a short break from videos. Whilst their videos are of particularly low quality, the fact that the games played are not part of an organised tournament results in some interesting variety compared to the usual decimator/Whisper that we have seen run 25 times already. In the case of this video we see three X-Wings up against three TIE Interceptor.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 SCUM vs. EMPIRE

A new channel pops up with a battle report showcasing the new wave six expansions. Video quality is passable but considering that there's no HD version the gameplay is pretty easy to follow.

Audio track however is just star wars background music.
