Warlog 3724 results! Adepticon Updates!

Hi all! SeerK here with a brief report on last years War log. If you are not familiar with the War log you can check it out over at the Spartan Community Forum. Basically you report the scores from your games in a standardized format and the scores contribute to the war log. It is broken up as Kurak Alliance vs Zenian League. It is then further divided by race. War log 3724 came to a close on December 31^st. War log 3725 is in full swing now recording the battles of 2015.

I am proud to say that 4 out of the 8 Admirals listed as the top Admirals for the War log 3724 are from my local group and actually write for this blog! I am also happy to say the Zenian League was the clear winner for 3724! Remember Dramos! Well lets look at the top 8 Admirals. I can probably say with some surety that they are the top 8 players in the world currently. Have a differing opinion? Then start contributing to the War log 3725! Here are our top 8 Admirals

Firestorm Armada: War Log 3724 Update!

 

Our coverage of the war continues with the recent update to the War Log from 3 June, 2014. 

After 171 games counted, the Zenian League continues to lay the galactic smackdown on the Alliance of Kurak. What had been a gradual closing of the points gap by the Kurak forces has turned I to a widening of the margin for the Zenian side. The points gap sits at the Zenian League leading by an even 120 Battle Log points. That has got to sting!

Dindrenzi take the the top spot of most Battle Log earned by an individual faction with the Aquans maintaining their hold on the number two position. Terrans drop from first place down to third. And in an impressive showing, the Zenian League alliance forces jump to fourth place. Probably due to the seemingly recent increase in popularity for the Rense System Navy. 

The always controversial Sorylians gain a net two points of Battle Log over their six games since the last update, and their points per game drop slightly. Some may be disappointed in their performance, but looking on the bright side, they are increasing their score, albeit at a painfully mediocre rate!

The top earning faction for average points per game switches from the Aquans to the Zenian League alliance forces, sporting a solid 6.61 Battle Log points per game. Looks like they are really smashing some face out there.

Will the Kurak forces be able to turn this around? Or are we seeing the beginning of a new trend where the Zenian forces continue to widen this gap, eventually pulling so far ahead that even the best Kurak admirals have little hope of regaining control?

Only time will tell.

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.
