Spectreverse X Wing Episode 6 "Mirror Match"
After unboxing all the wave six releases, Benitio Senence produces a full scale battle report where they explore the possibility of playing both scum and villainy and the rebel alliance with the same ships.
The actual video suffers from some pretty poor focus issues which makes it a pretty difficult video to watch. The hosts however do a competent job of commentating the whole experience at least.

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.

Store Champion Skirmish! X-wing Featured Match-B'Luke Squadron vs Double...
A second video from FCB Comics and Games league.
X-wing Featured Match-Roark's Roar vs New Phantom - 1 / 2
FCB Comics and Games continue to record their local league play. of interest in this match is that they are applying the new decloak rules two weeks before they come into effect. So for those that are still confused regarding the Changes to the decloak mechanic, this video should be able to help you out somewhat.
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.

X-Wing - Tulsa Store Championship 2015 - Top 4.1
Team Covenant's second semi final video from their store championship.
X-Wing - Tulsa Store Championship 2015 - Top 4.2
Team Covenant are making a concerted effort to release more X-Wing video content and improving their production quality. In the case of this recent batch of videos for example Steven is much less apathetic and does a much better job of keeping his end of the commentary up. They have also made those tiny little numbers, that they used to indicate which ship is which, a little bit bigger making them a lot easier to see. But it would seem that it's two steps forward one step back with Team Covenant as the numbers on the ship don't help you identify which ship is which. In the case of this match both players are playing the same list (mirror match) once the ships have mad a few turns it becomes hard to tell which falcon was from which team.Maybe if they took the oportunity to include the numbers on the ship lists at the edges of the screen. Also they have chosen to use a top down viewpoint which makes things more difficult to see.
Either way it is nice to see Team Covenant try to perfect their video presentations.

X Wing Battle Report 6
Kristofer Bengtsson uploads video of the final match of a local store championship final.
Kristofer does an excellent job of providing a solo commentary track and especially considering that English is not his first language he has perfect pronunciation.
Once again the camera has been placed from a top down perspective and this results in the play field occupying very little screen real estate and more of the screen is dedicated to the players, and the ship cards than is really necessary.

Round four from the store championship in Norwich bought to you from the excellent Athena Games team.
X Wing Battle Report: Andy vs Nate
Santa Barbara Wargaming debuts their first X-Wing battle report of a friendly game with some of their local players who also provide commentary.
The camera has been hung directly above the playfield. Now this may seem like a good choice but I've found it results in the game detail being much flatter. I personally prefer when the camera is mounted alongside the play surface facing down at an angle of about 30 degrees. I find that from that angle the ships seem much closer and the 3D aspect of the models can be appreciated better. Also I find that the obstacle tokens also pop a little better of the table surface. There are also times when the TIE Phantom is quite hard to make out the actual model.
Another downside is that the top down view restricts the width of the play field to the same height as the screen. However TV screens are considerably wider than they are tall, meaning that there is a lot of unused space to the sides of the playfield. In the case of this video so that your not watching the two players legs move around they have edited out the excess space to the edges of the screen.
The commentary recorded by the two players is actually pretty good for a first try and they do an excellent job of keeping a pretty steady conversation for the whole duration of the game.

X-Wing Miniaturenspiel - 200 Punkte - No Sound - 1 / 2
Raakasch is a PC Gaming channel and this appears to be their first attempt to produce a table top battle report.
The camera has been poorly setup to capture the playfield and less than half the screen is actually used for the playfield. as a result the dice rolls and tokens are so small that they become hard to identify.
There is also a complete lack of audio on the video so even if your German there is no clue as to what is actually happening at any given time.
To make things even more complicated this is a 200 point game and the video is unedited giving you a full three hours of silence and wobbly camera. If you manage to stick it out and watch the whole thing, well done you.
