You were asked – TMP link Which set of rules are you now playing primarily? 9% said "Black Powder" 7% said "Age of Eagles" 4% [TIE] said "General de Armee" OR "General de Brigade" OR "Napoleon's Battles IV" OR "Piquet: Field of Battle" OR "Shako II" |

Hmm. So "my" current rules set is Black Powder, because one respondent in eleven plays it? And only one in three plays any of the top seven? There are other ways to describe such a situation. "Anarchy" comes immediately to mind. |

Because that's democracy, Robert. Don't question the question; don't question the numbers. |

I play both so I get be in the top 16% |

Black Powder for me, it has a subtle system that can be modified without needing a degree from a military academy! |

I know, advocate. One of these days, they'll mix me a nice drink of hemlock--and tell me I should be grateful, because it's all natural with no preservatives or artificial sweeteners. |

Thus the top 7 choices only account for 36%. Hardly surprising. There is no set that is even close to dominant. |

This is worse than poloticial opinion polls. How many TMP readers actually responded? |
robert piepenbrink | 05 Jan 2021 3:56 a.m. PST |
Just over 100, Steaming Dave. Observe that 16 respondents are 15% of votes. But you could try the Great Wargaming Survey. They usually ask a similar question for each period, and the most common rules set is almost invariably "home or other." |
Dexter Ward | 06 Jan 2021 3:59 a.m. PST |
So 91% of people prefer a rule set other than Black Powder. Bit of a misleading thread title, then. |

How many TMP readers actually responded? All that wanted to. |

I don't really care about these polls. I know they appear somewhere on the page but I never see them. They seem to inevitably have low responses and people subsequently contesting the results or asking where it was as they didn't know about it. Maybe when a poll is set up, a message should go to the relevant discussion list so the people who have an interest in that topic are more likely to respond if they're interested. Cheers, John P.S. No, 'advocate', it's not democracy, it's just a poll ;-) |
