Firestorm Armada: War Log 3724 Commentary

There is an great thread going in the Spartan Games Community currently. It is called War Log 3724. You have to be signed into the forums to see it, but we will be covering it here as well. Though, if you have any interest in Firestorm Armada, I encourage you to sign up for the forums.
How to Read the War Log Board: The 487 for the Alliance of Kurak is the total amount of Battle Log points added together from all battles, and the 5.53 below it is the average Battle Log earned per battle across all games reported. The Zenian total is to the right of it. Below the overall totals are the faction breakdowns, read left to right, [Name of faction, Faction total Battle Log, Games Played, and average Battle Log per game. This breakdown repeats for all of the factions.


The War Log works like this, as games are played throughout the world, the results are posted in a special thread on the forum, then tabulated into a massive spreadsheet. The goal is to see how all of the factions are doing in a specific manner and wage a worldwide, international campaign between the Zenian League and the Alliance of Kurak. The War Log is updated periodically, but only games that were standard book missions and battles between the Zenian League and the Kurak Alliance are shown. Zenian vs Zenian and Kurak vs Kurak are still noted and will appear as data in the end of the year report (January 2015). This War Log began in January 2014 when the new Version 2.0 Firestorm rules came out. Firestorm Armada uses a Battle Log game mechanic to decide the victor of each battle. As the game progresses, your Battle Log will be raised or lowered depending on what is happening on the battlefield. The higher the number the better.

This post is going to discuss the War Log between April 1st, 2014 to May 19th, 2014 and so will be longer than future ones. As new updates become available, the posts will cover the new board updates only.
