Visualizing effect resolution in Ashes

I wrote a thing about how effect resolution works in Ashes with recommendations for how to visualize it:

But, well, that's kind of rough to imagine with just text. So I recorded this incredibly high-production-value video (on my cell phone) in great lighting (late at night while my children were asleep) and with lots of rehearsing (as is self-evident from the video).

In any case, I hope this is useful for folks! Please note that this doesn't represent good strategic Ashes play. It's a very contrived, convoluted effect resolution chain purely for example purposes. These two players clearly have no clue what they're doing. Probably because their heads are full of fluff.

Note that several times I refer to "placing damage" as "dealing damage". This was mis-speaking on my part. In game terms, damage is dealt, then received, then wounds tokens are placed, then the unit is destroyed.
