A lot of the variance between the percentiles is on the order of statistical uncertainty (for a count of 22 the uncertainty is 21%, for 11 it's 30%, and for 4 it's 50%). The biggest thing that stuck out to me as statistically significant was the difference in the ratio of Rebel to Empire builds between all builds and the to 50%.<br /><br />Also, are these spreadsheets based off the equations used by Truthiness over at Steel Command for the regionals data? (http://www.steelstrategy.com/2019/03/2018-2019-regionals-season-data-analysis.html) If so, there was a mistake in those that undercounted EWS, MC75 Ord, MC80 Cmnd, and Toryn Far (the COUNTIF range excludes the flagship columns). It might be a good idea to double check that.Ben O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887262112043510677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-80041990802463329472019-08-15T14:19:16.232-05:002019-08-15T14:19:16.232-05:00Hey there!

Alpha strike doesn’t do enough damage to kill small ships/ squadrons. Hopefully the new objectives will help the squad heavy meta be not so needed. LMSU might work. Large ship to pack punch and support to help as with anything, “the right list” could make anything work. BTAvenger could get hit with all the raid tokens available to rebels soon. Wave 1 medium ships got help with RitR upgrades. Thanks for all the numbers!Wolf58https://www.blogger.com/profile/15284773129824914942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-30639268139986316092019-08-14T08:33:38.322-05:002019-08-14T08:33:38.322-05:00Great Article.

Lets hope regional differences are stronger than "max squadron blob" and presents other viable competetive options, as Shmitty proved wth his Dumpster Fire. Next up is Euros in Krakow and my hopes are that the gencon meta is not mirrored there for sake of diversity for the game.MajorKaikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293992229487727232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-29574221475554186182019-08-13T23:43:05.644-05:002019-08-13T23:43:05.644-05:00I'm proud to be the one guy who ran a Vic this...I'm proud to be the one guy who ran a Vic this year! I had a shit show of a day and only ended up playing 1 game (missed game 1, lost game 2 to rieekan, got a bye game 3, left before game 4) but I wanted to show off the neat (and expensive) anti-squad combo with the Vic. Maybe I'll try again next year lol<br />Henry Schnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674727817347586269noreply@blogger.com
