MOST USED ARMIES (DBM 3.1)
Games Played & Armies Used
Most Used Armies (DBM 3.1 only) - at 13 October 2007 (post Migscon)
The table below summarises the usage and results of each army in rated
tournaments where such details have been supplied. It is in order of amount of usage
(where tied it is in book then list number order).
Only armies that have been used are included. There are 187 such armies.
The total number of games used (all competitions) is shown
and the average 10 point score in those games.
The number of games and average scores are shown on the right
split into usage by Higher Rated players (ie current rating above 2,100),
Average players (rated 1,900 to 2,100) and Lower Rated players (currently rated below 1,900).
The middle columns show the percentage of games "won", "drawn" and "lost" for
each army. Where the scoring system used, eg GSC15, allows this to be determined precisely that information has been used.
Under other scoring systems it is based upon the equivalent of a 10 point score from each game where a score of 6.5 to 10
is considered a win, 3.5 to 6.5 a draw and 0 to 3.5 a loss. In these cases the available data does not
permit any more accurate determination of wins, draws and losses than this.
THIS TABLE IS BASED ON RESULTS FROM DBM 3.1 GAMES ONLY.
