Impact X: Battle Report Episode 1

Jordi and I got together to play a casual game to test out the equipment and noise in the new space. I live on a busy street under the LAX flight path so it was a bit of a concern. Everything turned out good enough to share with you guys, and it was a close interesting game so it should be an enjoyable watch.

Im working on finding intro music and on polishing the presentation in general – but I would love to hear your thoughts on it over all and if there is anything I can do to improve the quality and quantity of information coming through.

cheers guys, many more to come.

In Star Wars: Legion the Scout Troopers are the Empires first elite unit option. Their training and equipment make them self-sufficient and versatile in many different roles – and as such see specialized use in the Imperial forces.
