Lies, Damn Lies, & Statistics - 2950


Attached is a section of a spreadsheet I've produced with all the small amount of UK finishing data for the 2950 scenario of games.  Many thanks to Middle Earth Games for supplying me with the information.  Less detailed results, but a larger sample size of previous GSI 2950 scenario games, can be seen [here].

A complete spreadsheet, showing challenge ranks, command ranks, top agents, emmisaries etc can be  downloaded [here].

1) Using the GSI figures, the results of 67 completed games show...

  •     31 have been won by the Dark Servants
  •     And 36 by the Free Peoples.

So the Free People win 54% of the time. 

2) Of the Victories for the Dark Servants. 

  •     The Witch King once
  •     The Dragon Lord once
  •     The Dog Lord 2 times
  •     The Cloud Lord 3 times
  •     The Blind Sorcerer has won once
  •     The Ice King 3 times
  •     The Quiet Avenger 2 times
  •     The Fire King once
  •     The Long Rider 2 times
  •     The Dark Lieutenants 2 times

3) Of the Victories for the Free Peoples.

  •     The Woodmen once
  •     The Riders of Rohan 2 times
  •     The Dunadain has won 4 times
  •     The Silvan Elves once
  •     North Gondor 2 times
  •     South Gondor 4 times
  •     The Sinda once
  •     The Noldo 8 times

Notably, the Dwarves and Northmen have never won.

4) Of the victories for the Neutrals

  • The Corsairs 4 times as Dark Servants and never as Free People
  • The Rhun Easterlings never as Dark Servants and once as Free People
  • The Dunlendings 2 times as Dark Servants and 5 times as Free People
  • The White Wizard 3 times as Dark Servants 5 times as Free People
  • Khand Easterlings 4 times as Dark Servants and 2 times as Free People

Putting all these figures into a points tally for both Harlequin (UK) and GSI (USA) 2950 results.  Allocating 3 points for a win, 2 for second and 1 for third.  The most successful nations are...

What do the results tell us?  Well the 2950 scenario seems to be bucking the trend.  The Free People are just winning more games than the Dark Servants.

The results confirm that four of the neutrals are super powers.  Regardless of these nations declarations, the game is heavily influenced in favour of the side they join.  The Rhun Easterlings sometimes get attacked early on by both sides, this might explain why they don't figure as prominantly as the other neutral nations.

The five Neutrals account for 33% of all points.   The ten Free People nations account for 36% with the remaining 31% of being picked up by the Dark Servants.

Certain nations always struggle.  Northmen, Dragon Lord, Rhun Easterlings.
