Field of Glory Ranking System
For Tabletop Miniatures Competitions
Welcome to the Field of Glory ranking system. Competition organisers from around the world are reporting their results to us via this e-mail address fog_tt_results@slitherine.co.uk. These results are then processed and combined to produce an international rankings system like never seen before.
This new and impressive system adds a complete new dimension to the game, bringing an additional level of enjoyment and involvement. The ranking system provides a facility to research armies and gauge their effectiveness on the battlefield, collating data from the results of thousands of games played across the world.
The ranking system is able to display each player’s details and results and outputs graphs about their performances. All army list details are also included giving players the ability to research success rates, rankings of players and the armies used. You can view results of tournaments around the world or look at overall international rankings. Just start clicking on a player's name or army to see how everything is cross referenced in really cool ways. You’ll find yourself browsing this site for hours!
The graphical output also allows a deeper game by game analysis that allows Generals to drill down in fine detail.
The Field of Glory official ranking system has been developed by Karsten Loh and Martin Wirt and has no equal in the wargaming world. Both Slitherine and Osprey owe Karsten and Martin a debt of gratitude for their dedication and hard work. Hundreds of fans around the world have helped Field of Glory grow and become the benchmark game that it now is. Now you are able to research and see their successes and failures.
Upcoming features for the system will include information about allies for each army list, the addition of doubles matches, individual rankings by country and year end rankings and much more.

Competition Organisers
Field of Glory (http://www.slitherine.com/games/field_of_glory) is a wargaming rules system that uses model figures and terrain to recreate the great battles of the ancient and medieval world, written by some of the biggest names in the wargaming community, including the co-author of the popular DBM rules, Richard Bodley Scott. Field of Glory allows players to use miniatures of any scale to re-fight historical scenarios or create their own “what if” battles. In November 2009 Slitherine released a PC game based on the tabletop system (http://www.slitherine.com/games/fog_pc) and is now releasing further expansion packs.
