So after scorning Craig, Hristo and Mikey in my fact-checking on the Midlands predications, it’s now time to put the man himself to the test. Does Raf actually know anything about Wood Elves or is it just ones of those things where he has an opinion on regardless? With the ETC done and the results posted, we can now see if he’s any good at assessing list strength by double checking his predictions against good hard facts. Of course, we will completely ignore trifles such as matchups and player strength here as we all know that the basis of good Warhammer is picking the best list of the net and push it forward (or in the case of wood elves: around). <br /><br />Of course, slippery as he is, Raf didn’t predict any hard points, leaving himself room to wriggle out in case things went awry. So I had to devise some system to compare his assessment versus the actual results. The ETC is a 20-0 system, so anything averaging between 9 and 11 against the world’s best is quite decent. We’ll call that a 7. Anything over 11 (but less than 12) is an 8, between 12 and 13 becomes a 9 and so forth, so lists that average between 7 and 8 on the ETC score a 5 on Raf’s scale. <br />Being the merciful bloke that I am, I even allowed Raf some leeway, so if his prediction is within 1 point of the actual result, I’ll count that a good call.<br /><br />So, how did he do?<br />We have 4 overestimations: Anastasia, Thomas, Dimitrious and Woody (who admittedly hadn’t drunk enough on the first day) did not quite live up to the high expectations that Raf had of them.<br />There’s also two underestimations: Olli and Bogdan exceeded Raf’s expectations and Bogdan’s mobile Light council even scored most points of all the treehuggers out there. Olli, also rocking Glade Riders as core and Death on his level 4 did notably better than the other ‘no drops’ lists who were stuck with heaven or high. It’s also interesting that Olli went for bigger units of Glade- and wild riders (yeah, we call 7-10 big units nowadays) and that seems to have paid off. <br />Finally, the other 7 lists did more or less as well as Raf predicted. So 7 hits and 6 misses… well, predicting tomorrow’s weather is truly more difficult than yesterday’s…<br /><br />Izzy Gutsniknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243310777003356108.post-49427914701573819512014-07-22T11:12:21.337+01:002014-07-22T11:12:21.337+01:00One of my local opponents tried a dryad-star with ...One of my local opponents tried a dryad-star with Beasts magic, not one care was given by the Evil Warriors of Chaos...
