You're trying to put "video" and "quality batrep" in the same conceptual space, that's never going to end well.

K now that interests me, as I really enjoyed those games (and I would kill for a current gen starfighter game of any stripe on the PS3/PS4)

Nah I wouldn't want it dumbing down to console level.
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

I love x-wing because: It's simple to get started but has endless possibilities. The rules are very straightforward and well supported by FFG's FAQs, meaning you don't get any of the arguments commonly found in games like WH40k. You play on a 3'x3' table/board, so it's perfect for playing at home. Even though you only have a handful of models it still feels like a full game. As soon as you finish playing one game you want to play another, and then another.

Simple solution to your quandary mate, get somebody to teach you over a few games, then you'll be hooked.

Back to X-Wing, let me rephrase that "quality" into "fun to watch and know what they're doing"...The bigger they are, the bigger the mess they make when they step on you. - Ahzek Ahriman, on Titans

A pretty good (and fun) introduction to X-Wing courtesy of the awesome Youtube tv show that is Tabletop!
Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a worrying thought!

Easy to learn,
hard to master,
tactical depth,
very well balanced.
A good site to read about X-Wing: [url]http://teamcovenant.com[/url]
They also organise tournaments on VASSAL. I think their latest one is a X-Wing league. 144 participants from 20 different countries.
They also have a youtube channel: [url]https://www.youtube.com/user/CovenantTCG/videos?shelf_id=7&sort=dd&tag_id=UCT0_zqao2b2kJBe-bmF_0og.3.star-wars-x-wing-miniatures&view=46[/url]
Their video of the 2013 World Championship Final is very well done and shows how balanced the game is. I won't spoiler it.
