Another battle report heading down a hyperspace lane near you! Got a probably my best angle on this one, which is great because there is a ton of movement and a ton of ships dying!

So we're looking at a 5v5 low squadron extravaganza! The 2 frigates tried a mini swirl while 3 CR90s were on flanking duties. The rebels had initiative deferred to them, but lost it in turn two by giving up amazing position on a CR90 to a glad with opening salvo. After that the lead assault frigate got decimated by an 8 black die/3 red in a single shot, everything came up rebels. The remaining frigate Ackbar'd and scooted around the Vic, and a round of fire from the xwings finished it off. XI7s carried the day with those frigates! From then on out it was time to chase down and finish off the imperial fleet. All in all, great game and good fun!
Imperials

The Imperial's spread themselves thin on deployment and essentially left 3 of their ships mostly out of the fight. After starting strong and popping two ships right off the bat, they cooled down and dealt with some issues. One glad flew off the map after using engine techs too aggressively and chasing CR90s, the other glad popped on a collision. The Vic was doing well but on a 6 black/3 red roll got one accuracy and 2 damage, which was its last front arc shot. The lack of fighters didn't really cost them too much, but keeping the raiders and the glad that flew off the map out of the game really hurt.
Result:
The imperials conceded after they lost Tarkin's Victory, but decided to finish the game just to see how it would play out. Ended up in a tabling of the Empire and a maneuverability fueled win for the rebels as they hyperspace out to fight another day.

I love this style of battle report. Keep it up! I thought the Rebels were doomed initially but was happy to see them pull off the win.
Can I ask how much postproduction time editing this video took?

Thanks! It actually takes very little. I bought the app called "lapse it" on my iPhone and one of those octopus tripods. I set it to take a picture every 15 seconds, and that's pretty much it. I spend about 20 minutes checking about 500 frames for anything where we covered the camera or took a break and nothing moved. After that it's just uploading and doing the write up.
The hardest part is getting a good arial angle for the camera.
Hmmm, yes the angle could be difficult to achieve. How did you get yours set up? A bookshelf nearby? A tall pole of some sort? A friendly giant?

Surprisingly, even more of a pain than that. We have a chandelier above the table. I have to rig it up there and adjust the angle of the table. I'm loath to admit that I haven't posted in a few weeks because my previous two games were actually played out of clear view of the camera. Ha!
