No, I did ask several people, but no joy yet.

We could just treat each game as giving 2 points per team. It does mess up any individual rankings but we can show these as a % or average per game, unless anyone has a better suggestion?

KiwiWarlord's 16,000 Uesugi (2%), defeats W Michael's 31,700 Ikko Ikki (44%)

It was an exciting game in spite of the scores. I think the Ikko Ikki need more terrain than I had here. The Peasants showed just how bad they could be in the open.

Did I make a mistake choosing Ikko-Ikki ?

[SnuggleBunnies]

I still think the Ikki are a fine army. I look forward to testing that theory when we switch sides.

w_michael's (31,801) Ikko Ikki (56%) defeats SnuggleBunnies (14,064) Uesugi (62%)

This was another exciting match, but this time the terrain favoured the Peasants.

[LFDLM]

I thought that since the field was chosen randomly, there were three chances out of five to have a "good" map (mountain, hills and forest), a chance to have a field that can be "good" (agriculture) and a chance to have a "bad" map (steppe).

But the truth is that the quality of the general ... and luck count a lot!

[LFDLM]

The big difficulty with this army and that the units of peasant are so numerous that you can lose losing the game while the heart of his army is still in good condition.

[KiwiWarlord]

KiwiWarlord's 14,700 Uesugi (51%) defeat LFDLM's 19,400 Ikko Ikki (65%)

[ahuyton]

ahuyton (Ikko Ikki) defeated TheGrayMouser (Uesugi), 3%-45%

The terrain helped me and my massed mobs got into the flanks of my honorable opponent. Friendly game but more fun for me than The GrayMouser I suspect.

[ahuyton]

Did I make a mistake choosing Ikko-Ikki ?

Absolutely not, they are a lot of fun to play with

[KiwiWarlord]

But the truth is that the quality of the general ... and luck count a lot!

They certainly do, LFDLM deployed better, played better, had better luck early on when he turned the score around into his favour, had a win in his sights then WHAMMO !!
he lost a General in combat causing a Rout. I managed to rout a couple more in my turn and Game Over.
