PAX BRITANNICA PBEM LADDER

December 2002

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 Andrassy, Epirus, Friuli, and Donegal games. The total number of games on the table is now 61.

BEST/WORST SCORES BY POWER AND YEAR GAME ENDED
This chart lists the name and VP totals of the player who had the most victory points with each power for each year the game could have ended. The worst VP total for each power is also listed (immediately under the best), but the name of the player who attained that score is not listed...

Note: We no longer have final stats on all the games on the ladder above, and so not all games are included in this chart.

HOW DO THE POWERS RANK? Germany pulls off 2 wins, and jumps their average to within striking distance of France, though they remain in 6th place. Only Germany and America actually improve their averages this go-round. I note Russia managed an impressive string of finishing dead average in 4th place in all four games, and, of course, Japan once again manages to lower their already unimpressive average.
