Star Wars X-Wing State Championship Florida Tournament Rd 1

The Dogs of War Gaming channel come strong out of the gate with this first round coverage of the Florida state championship. They do a great job of timelapsing the footage at a speed to condense the game down well but not so fast to be detrimental to the gameplay. An excellent little 30 minute battle report.

X-Wing Batrep: Dual Defenders vs. S&V 4Z/2Y

The Daily dial are breaking out of their mould and experimenting with more non conventional lists.

In this video they take two TIE Defenders up against a six ship scum swarm, that might be a tongue twister.

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 100pts- FNP Wargamers Ep.2

FNP Wargamers Publish a video of a battle report at a freindly local game store.
This video is shot on a handheld camera which helps to keep dice rolls a tokens clear and visible to the viewer because the camera is much closer to the action. The down side to this is the activation phase is not covered in the video (mostly because the camera man needs both hands free to move ships). Because of this in this video they choose to leave all the movement templates on the table which ends up with the playfield being considerably cluttered during the combat phase.

X-wing Thursday game

The Its Athing channel uploaded a couple of videos some time ago and they went dormant until uploading this video with Wave six releases.
The video quality is very good considering that there is no 1080p option on this video. The table chatter between the players is interesting although with a lot of pauses and colourful language can be difficult to ignore.

X-Wing Batrep: 300 Point Epic Battle

The Daily Dail having finished their tournament training decide there's nothing more relaxing than a nice short Epic scale game,

TIE Defender Review

RememberPorkins is a relatively new channel featuring all kinds of Star Wars merchandise.

In this video he unboxes/reviews the TIE Defender expansion. But instead of being a review or unboxing for people who are already familiar with the game the host has presented this video more for the type of viewer that may never of heard of the game before.

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.

Star Wars X Wing Store Championship Tournament Rd 4

Moving on to round four in the Dogs of War gaming channel's store championship coverage.
The Tournament organiser having known that this table was going to be filmed should have made an effort to get more variety in the players/lists assigned to this table. The same rebel swarm has been in three of the four videos uploaded for this championship so far.

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.
