GenCon 2013 - X-Wing - Top 4 - Game 1

It's the bounty hunters against a tight-knit Rebel squadron. James commands Luke Skywalker, Biggs, and Wedge in an attempt to shoot down some unnamed Firesprays and a plucky TIE Fighter. Will Howlrunner give the Imperial Navy the edge it needs or will this celebrity squad win the day?

[@ltnachoz]

That removing of the ship and then putting him back in...If you aren't paying attention to what you put on your ships then you can live with the consequences of losing that ship.

[@LunchableSandwich]

Agreed. That's all part of the game and the rules.

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

This has better commentary than the super bowl. Well done, guys.

[@teamcovenant]

Well thank you! High praise, certainly. We've always thought Zach could be the John Madden of tabletop once he goes a little crazier.

[@caramonfire]

Not only is this great coverage of the event (I love watching any games with good commentary) but these two players are complete class acts. I love how they are just taking it like a friendly game. It's really refreshing after being a part of the MTG scene!

[@LunchableSandwich]

21:07 that isn't even remotely cool..

[@cartoon80s90s]

I have to SHOUT here that I love your coverage of events. The fact you take the time to add all the information on teh screen, like you did with the cards in Netrunner, and here with the Pilots on teh dead space of the screen. I love you guys.

[@battlemind]

Jonathan Wooley - you are the man. Great work - thank-you for the effort.

[@Prasamaccus]

The rebel player should have been stopped a few times for doing some pretty cheatish actions. Removing the ship and premeasuring the opponent are some blatant actions that should have been stopped.

[@SoulCrusherEx]

that are pussy rebel fighters my son il do play imps >;P but i have to wait one year to get my 6 interceptors !!! 3 normal and 3 aces ;O

[@LunchableSandwich]

@Prasamaccus you're right.

[@TheLawless888]

Used this X wing formation today with a few upgrade tweaks; works really well but very susceptible to concentrated fire...great vid thanks

[@FernandoSantos-vg6tt]

I was starting to think we wouldn't see these videos. Thanks!!!!

[@Ottuln]

Great format for the video! Thanks for the fantastic coverage of these events. This is now one of my favorite channels on the youtubes. Two very good players that showed wonderful sportsmanship. Grats to both.

[@Sorastro]

Brilliant coverage - thanks !

[@BrandCAG]

"This caliber of play" was disappointing.

[@nibblersrevenge]

Another great vid from gen con. Really impressed with all the production on the matches, really helps .

[@DavidLuchetti]

This was really fantastic. I watched every minute! Please do more x-wing matches like this!

[@Grumium101]

You can mark the large ships with the 2 manuever. Also you can tip the ships to the side instead of the 1 manuever sometimes.

[@ranestormT]

Thanks so much for posting this, very well done and enjoyable to watch!

[@Cptbaron]

The ship removal before realising it was focused I think can be forgiven. Fast-paced play is more interesting to watch for spectators, more fun for the opponent. Playing fast also makes mistakes more likely to be made. I think people should be good sports - makes X wing more fun! Measuring target lock using the opponent's arc though. Not in the spirit of the rules I feel...

[@Darthbs101]

Great vid, great graphics, great commentary. All I can ask is for more more more. Keep up the good work.

[@gostunv]

love all the coverage you guys are doing! wish i had a big enough place to start this game up =(

[@lordsharick9072]

Thank you very much for a very enjoyabel X-WING match!!!...I hope you keep doing more of this!!!!....Salutations from mexico!!!!

[@CoryDeVore]

I'd love to see this become a thing haha. Like some people watch esports, I want to watch x wing!

[@DeusVult-rg3mq]

This so much fun to watch!! Thank You for your hard work!!

[@danielpotter3603]

Excellent coverage. Eager for the next battles.

[@Ottuln]

Swarm Tactics from Howlrunner bumps the pilot skill of one of them to 8.

[@Jukejointjeze0n]

Id like to see the squad value in the description. Otherwise, nice game.

[@kootney1c3]

More of these please!

[@Mandras78]

Nice Batrep! I'm looking forward to the next!

[@fmaganlobo]

Sweet report. Keep up with the good work!

[@MYshamanEYE]

love these videos.

[@yeahgoood]

Stay on target. You're too close! Staay on target. LOOSEN UP! GEEEAAAAGHH!!

[@udo77]

Very well done!

[@AlKusanagi]

I thought that if you bump on a green maneuver then it becomes white by default and therefore wouldn't clear stress tokens.

[@wrightway65]

Why are there no referees for these big events?That would really help with the cheating :/

[@f1sk8mm]

Coming up next on ESPN 8 "THE OCHO....".

[@wombatwad]

Just Awesome.

[@MrEzra710]

Would you consider having any plans? The games are so similar and I would imagine your store would carry both.

[@Timbucktoo32]

great vid guys!

[@pmazze25]

Hey guys! Great video. Do you know when we can expect next video? I am sure lots of production time went into this video

[@17blaziken]

At the minute 39.00 Wedge attack the firespray. After using target lock, he it the firespray with 2 hit. So, they were both crit, or the firespray takethe normal on the shield and the crit on the life?

[@TunacTunacTun]

Awesome vid as alway TC keep it up

[@Dmooreslotreviews]

After the 1st K turn biggs didnt move

[@chaoslordlordofchaos]

He did a green 1 straight, hitting Luke I think it was. That way he removed Biggs' stress and kept him in shooting arc and range.

[@Dmooreslotreviews]

Ahh I see. Thanks I watched it again and saw it this time.

[@chaoslordlordofchaos]

No prob mate.

[@ForceM1782]

Another great X-Wing Video by TCG. I know it's a lot of editing going into it, but you hardly do any X-Wing videos. I know TCG is into Card games, but why not cut back on Netrunner, AGoT or Star wars LCG a bit, were literally every little game makes it on youtube while the real FFG success game that hit like a proton bomb is still treated as absolutely secondary.

[@rmb43]

Awesome video. Keep them coming, please! I am still a learner to the game, so a couple rules questions: in the late game the bounty hunter moved through an ateroid but still took an action. I thought that both stopping on and moving through an obstacle makes you lose your action? Also, I think that according to the FIrespray rules, secondary weapons cannot be used in the rear arc. Is that right?

[@Zazouki17]

Why is the Bounty Hunter attacking after Wedge?

[@Badger8th]

I'm confused. Why did the bounty hunters get to shoot first? They're rank 3. Shouldn't all of the Xwings gotten to shoot first?

[@Gustave154]

Makes plans plz

[@MrEzra710]

Very well done. My question: do you, or have you done a similar commentary for Star Trek Attack Wing? Will there be any upcoming?

[@danielebling]

Ya what temps and tokens are they using

[@crosbylucas19]

And why did Dany keep going in circles?

[@joshdiamond7441]

Love the BatReps! What templates/tokens are they using?

[@ForceM1782]

Where is the rest of the videos?

[@Triphos]

What movement templates and range finders are they using?

[@WallScreamer]

Anyone else chuckle at the "No fucking way..." at 36:40?

[@udo77]

These templates are FFG prices for the finalists, as fas as I know.

[@daveyjones5702]

this is the 2nd game i watch, and the 2nd time somebody got hosed by the dice. i haven't played it yet, is this happening because the players are taking risks, or is the shooting just a very random aspect of the game?

[@TheRealSkeletor]

+Davey Jones Dice always play a certain factor in games of X-Wing, though you'll find the best players build their squads around mitigating the effects luck has on the outcome.

[@crosbylucas19]

i wouldn't have let him put biggs back down....if this was a national event, was there no officials??

[@ChristopherLMunoz]

Worst player ever! at 12:00 oh let me just move your ship a little so I can fit my x-wing coming up soon, which does 3 HITS. Should just disqualified him right there. Worse than the removal of his ship and putting it back.
