PAX BRITANNICA PBEM LADDER

May 2001

The Pax Britannica Pbem Ladder was started by Jeff Janoska in 1994, and updated by him until August 1997. From September 1997 it was updated by Rune Aaboen. Since August 1999, it's been maintained by Mark O'English. Points are awarded after a 9/6/4/3/2/1/0 system. Players must have finished at least 2 games to be included on the main list.

The recent update was done after the end of the Transvaal, Primus, Bosnia, Dalmatia, and Tripoli games. The total number of games on the table is now 44.

ADJUSTED RANKINGS At the request of several players, I've put together a version of the Pax Ladder which takes into account how well each _power_ does in figuring the rankings (on the theory that a win with a power like Britain is not nearly as impressive as a win with a power such as Japan). It's located here.

HOW DO THE POWERS RANK? America catches Italy and reclaims the third spot overall. Britain and Russia post the strongest set of games, and increase their averages slightly. So does Japan, but its not enough to help...

POWER	Wins	Pts.	Avg.	Change
Great Britain	15	205.0	4.66
Russia	6½	178.5	4.06
United States	5½	156.5	3.56	+1
Italy	5	155.5	3.53	-1
France	7	150.5	3.42
Germany	4	136.0	3.09
Japan	1	118.0	2.68

Deliberate GW means that someone deliberately ended the Game by starting the Great War.
Incidental GW means that the players stumbled into the Great War.
