It's great to see X-Wing on this channel again. It feels like it's been forever. Not to take anything away from the card games, but watching miniatures maneuver around a board is just more entertaining than watching people lay cards down. Can't wait to see more!
In the next to last turn, Richard didn't K-turn his Rookie because the Rookie still had stress from the K-turn 2 turns previous. Love these commentaries and the stat graphics. Keep 'em coming, TC.
+chrisgboyle Don't read the comments before watching the video if you don't want the match to be spoiled. This is where people come to comment on the match they just watched.
Nice videos guys. I recently started playing this game and I love it, and it's awesome to see how the pros are playing it. Keep the videos coming please! :D

How did a Barrel Roll come before the Movement right at the end? Isn't this illegal? EDIT: Advanced Sensors. I did originally reply to this message, with this realisation, but also wanting TC to make upgrades clearer in their overlays, but that comment appears to have been removed or not saved properly.
+DoctorMike Reddy I don't know how they could make it any cleared in the overlays. The image of the Advanced Sensors card is right there on the UI, overtop of each of the Dagger Squadron Pilots.
nota mack No, but they did mention the lists which are both 100pts even. Blue Thunder: B-Wing Blue Sqd w/ Heavy Laser Cannon B-Wing Blue Sqd w/ Heavy Laser Cannon X-Wing Rookie X-Wing Rookie Biggs walks the dogs: X-WIng Biggs Darklighter B-Wing Dagger Sqd w/Adv Sensors B-Wing Dagger Sqd w/Adv Sensors X-Wing Rookie
X-wing has very few dice rolls compared to games like Warhammer or Infinity. It's not even normal dice rolls most of the time, its easy to recognize symbols.
Great battle! The commentary is unfortunately mostly off topic and really distracting about what's going on. I'd much rather hear comments about the battle going on rather than would-be tactics that are not currently related to the battle the table.
Someone HAS to play the Empire ships here. Rebel vs Rebel?? C'MON!! A GOOD tournament player should be able to develop comfortable tactics with EITHER side. This completely destroys the spirit of the game. Not only are these players playing the same side, they are essentially using the same ships. How is the versatility of the game showcased in a match like this?
Calum Hay I agree, you can't be blind to ignore the beauty of the game! I think it's more than Star Wars lore brought to life on the table, but more like a complicated game of Chess. I love X-wing :)

The finals match is mind-blowing. Can't wait to get it up!

+Daniel Potter Yeah, I don't know how the commentators missed that. Guess they weren't paying close enough attention.
I hope TeamCovenant has more X-Wing videos because they are very well done and I love to watch people play the game.
It's quite likely that we do! :)
Great production value on this video, it was really helpful to hear the commentary as well. Now to look up Team Covenant templates.
Taylor Wright So great to hear! Thanks Taylor.
This was a close game, but Paul was able to take me out. I'm more proud at how close i got it at the end.
And then it went away...
Ricky White Dude...spoilers.

watching this in 2017. great commentary, good game.
Great game. Loved the maneuvering to get into the asteroids without hitting. Skills
I have been waiting for this for a while. Thanks for posting. I did not get to play in that one, but I am in HiLo now.
I like Paul Heaver, he is a classy player, tight in the rules and tight in his movement, rarely bumps ships and NEVER smudges ships to his advantage
In the overlay for the right player they've got the B-Wings listed as X-Wings. :)
Great video though commentary and the UI is nice! :D
+CrescentBearer Thank you! Be sure to check out our more recent X-Wing videos as the UI has certainly approved!
Haha yeah I've literally binge watched all your X-Wing videos now! Seriously awesome content guys. :)
+CrescentBearer Oh man that's great! I'll share your comments with the team. We are headed to Worlds next week and will be getting plenty more games!
+Team Covenant Not plenty of games, you need to get us ALL of the games. Every one from Swiss and finals, or I'll send Boba Fett after you.
We need more of these bat-rep commentaries!
Is it a a type-o that is says X-Wing. I cant tell with my lower res but they look like B-Wings.
Yea its a type-o theres 2 X-WIngs and 2 B-Wings on both sides. I love to see these vids but they can do better with the editing and commenting.
Ok, I think I answered this myself. It was a Blue Squadron pilot, which can barrel roll before movement, with Advanced Sensors
Good watch!
How do I get involved in this Vassal x-wing?

Because of advance sensors. They clearly explain it at 5:11.
***** Yes, I added a comment in reply correcting myself.

Standard X-Wing rules of 100 point lists.
Did they mention the point limit?
nota mack No, but they did mention the lists which are both 100pts even.

im a newbie. what's a vassal tournament?
Vassal is a program that allows tabletop games to be played online (those that have modules written for them anyway).
*see the title of the video*
"wait... if vassal is a pc program, why they are doing a "real" match?"
LoL
Great battle! The commentary is unfortunately mostly off topic and really distracting about what's going on. I'd much rather hear comments about the battle going on rather than would-be tactics that are not currently related to the battle the table.
I enjoyed the video but I think I would prefer a fifteenish minute highlight.
God. No k-wings? No bombs? No PTL? No Palpatine? What kinda low tier list are these people running? /S
Love early x-wing
FIX THE FUCKING TABLES! Shit these guys can't even get a stable surface to play on?
Someone HAS to play the Empire ships here. Rebel vs Rebel?? C'MON!! A GOOD tournament player should be able to develop comfortable tactics with EITHER side.

Game down bud. This is one game in one tournie which happened to be a mirror match. What's important is the players with equal points play each other.
