Of course the games will all be uploaded here afterwards, but if you're able to help us test the live stream this evening that'd be much appreciated.

Missed part of the game Saturday sadly as I forgot to remove the previous recordings from my camera (ARGH!)

Got a partial up here:

And also another one from Wednesday here:

Hi guys, two new video's for the channel recorded on Friday:

Also have two new reports from Saturday's games:

Finally I did a brief review of the new playmats on Friday evening as well, comparing them with the printed maps from Ibsh

Again any feedback you have guys would be much appreciated, feel free to provide an my constructive criticism

Random question - What is the app you guys use for score keeping?

Yea someone asked on Twitter a couple weeks back too

It's called simple points tracker:

Just had a look but I can't find it on iPhone, maybe just android

Thanks for putting these out there to watch. I really like the idea of the Sorin with probe droids and would like the see more. I had made a list that was the close but I had an extra officer instead of Rule by Fear.

An app for iOS that is similar to the one you use is Score Keeper. There is a free and a paid version. I think it was a $1 or $2 and added a clock which is nice. It doesn't look as nice as the one in the video in my opinion but works really well.

Thanks Fez and no problem, hoping to improve the quality over time but at the moment just wanted to get them out there.

I was going to give Sorin a miss for a couple of months as I've got a couple of games up on the channel then I played 8 games with it at the UK nationals so I'm a bit played out!

Let me see if I can squeeze one in next week after my Chewbacca list.

I'll likely revisit Sorin again once the jet trooper comes out as well as one of the limitations (one activation per figure) will be improved with the addition of those, plus getting access to this powerful trooper cards

RE scorekeeper plus I used to use that one so know exactly what you mean, addition of the clock is helpful (although I recall the version I had we had to go back off the score to see it, couldn't have scores and clock on screen at the same time) I just prefer the way this one comes across on camera

I completely understand not playing a list after a tournament. I flew RAC/Whisper list at an x-wing regional and made semi-finals and haven't flown it since. I agree that your score keeper is better for the videos.

i think the quality of your video and sound is pretty good. I haven't had any trouble with them and the later ones are even better.

Dropped the pledge prices on Patreon to try and encourage some support, would appreciate any help people can offer I'm after some video editing software and sound recorder but struggling to get anywhere atm.

Can I ask what command cards you use with that 4 rProbe 2eProbe list?

Thanks!

Sure mate, the command list is:

[3] Overdrive - Not a great card but at times it can be great and the list has points to burn as there's not many good droid cards

[2] Squad Swarm - Brilliant card, go with both your elite probe droids before the opponent can respond

[1] Strength in Numbers - Just as good as the above in this list... but cheaper. You can also use both to go eProbe/eProbe/rProbe if you wanted, or eProbe/rProbe/Sorin

[2] Inspiring Speech - Great drawn early so you're focussed for that first attack rather than afterwards, still decent later on though, also focussed officers will do some work...
[1] Hit and Run - Great with the rProbes in particular to move, hit and run then explode at the end of the turn.
[1] Field Tactician - Probably used to move Sorin a lot of the time if he really needs to reposition, but can also be used for shoving droids around
[1] Camouflage - Normally saved for Sorin as your opponent will be trying to take pot shots at him which will likely come from range, once he's hidden he's likely hidden all game
[1] Change of Plans - Always like to have this in my lists, one of your droids goes twice for the loss of one of the other droids activations.
[1] Hunter Protocol - Fantastic card, you want this on your elite probe droids for double surge for damage, particularly when they're focussed they can get a crazy amount of surges
[1] Negation - Probably there for Take Initiative but cancelling an opponents urgency/element of surprise or similar cna sometimes be just as important
[1] Single Purpose - Sorin's ability twice? yes thanks. This is the card Sorin's command card wishes it was
[0] Element of Surprise - Great card, 0pt staple for every list
[0] Planning - Great card, if you have a Leader this is in there, potentially even if you don't...
[0] Take Initiative - Almost an auto include, potentially not if playing something like Lando's Betrayal (2eStorms,2eWing Guard) It's probably worth putting in anyway though...
[0] Disorient - Love this card with the proliferation of eStorms and how good Focus is generally, it's normally one of the first to drop though just because those listed above are so good and although you'll normally find a use for it, it is still situational

Any more questions give me a shout, hope that helps!

A little off topic, sorry, are those clear doors?? My buddy and I were just talking last week about making some. Didn't know they were already a product, where your get them??

No problem yogi, yes they're clear doors, I bought them from a chap on etsy:

https://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/1162708721

I'm really chuffed with them

Awesome, thanks!!

Link doesn't work, but thank you!!!

And good job on the batreps:)

Ah sorry bud I linked you back to my transaction, try this one:

Those are fabulous, thank you!

Next two video's up with Han and Chewie featuring in both, hope you enjoy them guys.

Also - I've added an intro and exit part with lists on and credits, any thoughts on whether this is worthwhile keeping in regularly?

You're producing videos faster than I can watch them ...

Should I slow down maybe mate and do some non battle report ones?

I'm thinking of getting some Patreon only content up soon to try and push some traffic that way so the reports could take a short break for a couple weeks.

It's difficult to communicate with people on YouTube and find out what people want to see, I'm approaching 200 subscribers but I've no idea what it is about the videos people like seeing!

Rich

Should I slow down?

No!

Should I do some non battle report ones?

Yes! Strategy, tactics, list building, curent meta...

Haha fair enough DerBaer.

I've got a list of things I want to cover in the Patreon videos but was waiting for subscriber numbers to increase before recording them. I guess I'll take the step of faith though and record some of the material anyway and then people might be more inclined to sub.

I always feel a bit awkward when people are talking about strategy and tactics as it can come across arrogant, but I will give my thoughts on various bits at least from my experience and it'll likely be valuable to new players at least.
