All the battle reports are in and the final history of the 29 match, 2 Round contest between the Indian Alliance and French Army Team vs the Continental Army and British Army Team can now be written. The contest to determine who would write the history of North America has become known as the Great Uprising of '03-04.
The overall result favored the Indian Alliance and French Army Team by a score of 41-27 However this was 1 point shy of the overall Army victory conditions, so the contest is officially declared a DRAW. I guess that means there can be celebrations in all the Army Taverns!
This two round competition used new FIW scenarios created by Rich Hamilton. Members of both teams alternated which sides they played against opponents from the opposite teams. Results scored both team points as well as relative individual rankings.
As for the top individual rankings in Round 2 the results were:
Playing French – Smith, Brien, Blackburn
Playing British – Peterson, Durant, Cox
The web site has been updated with all the results, but a few observations might be of interest.
Of the 16 Round 2 games, we had 9 Major victories, 4 Minors, and 3 Draws. The British player in the game had the advantage in that 13 of the 16 results favored the British player, with the French player ahead in only 3 matches. However those three matches included 2 Major Victories and 1 Minor. (Note: the Tourney pairing and scoring process eliminates issues associated with any bias in outcome of a scenario)
The Indian & French Team scored 6 Majors (1 as french, 5 as brit), 2 Minors (1 as french, 1 as brit), and had the advantage in 1 Draw (as brit).
The British & Continental Team scored 3 Majors (1 as french, 2 as brit), 2 Minors (as brit) and had the advantage in 2 Draws (as brit)
The game scores ranged from –160 to 1279 --- the average was 638 – (a Draw was a score between 350–600).
The round 2 players completed 550 out of 656 possible turns or 84% --- I consider anything over 75% in these tourneys as pretty good. That also represents about 330 club points that were earned.
On the web site there is also some info on “overall individual performanceâ€
