Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

The club website provides a list of current wins and losses for every member, but doesn't really show how each player is doing in relation to any other, or which side is winning the most battles.

Which side has won the most battles, and which generals are leading the charge? Let's take a look and find out.

A few qualifications -
These stats are taken from the Muster records on the club website, close to the start of this year.
They are lifetime results.
They are only for players listed as active. That said, they do include results against non-active players, so there are discrepancies between total wins and total losses.
The allied stats are combined for all Allied armies. I have not taken the time to try and divide them into the individual armies.

French
114 Active players
80 have completed at least 1 Fight
Played - 1242
Major Victory - 563 35%
Minor Victory - 135 8%
Draw - 254 16%
Minor Defeat - 135 8%
Major Defeat - 542 33%
Overall Wins - 698 43%
Overall Defeat - 677 42%

Allied
143 Active Players
122 have completed at least 1 fight
Played - 2379
Major Victory - 1082 35%
Minor Victory - 309 10%
Draw - 532 17%
Minor Defeat - 415 13%
Major Defeat - 790 25%
Overall Wins - 1391 44%
Overall Defeat - 1205 39%

202 active players have completed at least 1 Fight
106 active players have completed at least 10 Fights.

Of the active players to have completed 10 or more fights, the top 10 players based on Total Victory % are as follows. (Sorry if you are currently playing any of these)

Side - Player Rank - GP MV mV Total V Total V%
Allied - Paul Siragusa General-Mayor - 20 18 2 20 100%
Allied - Phil Chimara General der Infanterie - 53 33 17 50 94%
French - Chuck Jensen Maréchal d'Empire - 16 15 0 15 94%
French - Clifford Douglas Colonel - 14 13 0 13 93%
French - Paul Chavis Maréchal d'Empire - 11 9 1 10 91%
French - Michał Młódzik Chef d'Escadron - 10 9 0 9 90%
French - Joseph Medeiros Général de Brigade - 14 12 0 12 86%
Allied - Bill Cann General-Feldmarshal - 62 43 9 52 84%
Allied - Martin Huschka General der Infanterie - 16 12 1 13 81%
French - Clint Matthews Général - 52 40 1 41 79%

Having played more than 50 fights each, Phil Chimara, Bill Cann and Clint Matthews deserve to be especially mentioned for maintaining such a high ratio across so many games.

Just some other stats. Overall % are
Major Victory 35%
Minor Victory 9%
Draw 17%
Minor Defeat 12%
Major Defeat 28%

Total Victory 44%
Total Defeat 40%

67 players (33%) have a >50% win ratio
42 players (21%) have played 104 games total, but are yet to win their first Fight

Players with more than 10 Fights have a 50% win ratio

The disparity in wins to losses overall does indicate that the players that lose more often, unsurprisingly, are less likely to stay active.

Thanks for the stats Dean. Since I have left the French Army they should have a lot less defeats this year.

Don't sell yourself short Ed. you've got a 47% win ratio, and only 29% loss. You're ranked 73 on current active players.
That said, your stats are included in the Allied cause already, so please feel free to lose as many games as you like, especially the one we've just started.

Thanks for doing this analysis Dean, it's interesting and good to see in some more detail what's happening across the club.

The win/loss ratios are close, some might it's the nearest run thing you ever saw - I might not the the first person to say that
