Star Wars Tabletop - articles & videos

Myself and a buddy have been writing articles about our fleets and recording the games for over a year now.

Our YouTube channel:

Star Wars Tabletop: Youtube Channel here

We play a game every fortnight, articles and new vids are promoted via our Twitter: starwarstabletop@realfinney

For each game we write articles on our fleet building process, plus post-game analysis, which can be found here:

We're also the home of the " Sector War " mini-campaign mode, and we've just finished our first play through using the ver 1.16 rules. There's going to be a few adjustments, but these are mainly going to be refinements to the structure that's been made so far.

we also write occasional extra strategy articles.

Hope you join us & enjoy.

I haven’t seen your write ups before. I love that green scheme Victory. Really slick looking. Same with the red paneling on the Raider and Arq.

I'm new to Armada, and I just stumbled across this topic. You've got a great resource with excellent write-ups to show the thought behind how to build a fleet. :)

Just came across your Channel - great to see another player making game vids! Making my way through Sloane v Dodonna report.

Regarding the video - the dice role zoom-in is great and nice and clear. The lists at the start are great too. Is there any way you can get a higher res camera for the tabletop? (sorry I'm not a camera expert) it's a bit hard to tell what unit is what especially with the reflection on the table from the light - I can't make out the squadrons at all. Otherwise the height and angle of the camera is really good for a battle report! It's also great that you verbalise a lot of what you're doing turn by turn which makes the game a lot easier to follow. Oh yes, the opening music is quite a bit louder than the audio later - but that's a minor point.

Regarding the bomber 'gimmick' list I think Adar is probably better on something other than Yavaris so you can get your squadron in place for the double tap. FCT on the Pelta is a good move! I think Luke going down so fast illustrates the problem with him - having Escort means there's nowhere to hide :(

Thanks again for the video! I'll watch my way through the others too :)

Thanks Zamalekite!

Yes the camera is probably the thing that would have the biggest benefit for the Batreps. We currently use a C920 webcam, so the next step up would be switching to a proper video camera.

I think you're absolutely right on Adar, possibly the Transport would have been the right spot for him.
