About 95%+ the one army that causes me concern is Skaven. The only opponent I haven't beaten convincingly.

I can be glad if i win 40% of my games...

Do you people play mostly big or small games? And what do you think is harder? The 2000+ games or the 2000- ones?

95%. Only lost 2 games so far.

I started playing with 1500 pts, then moved on to 2000 pts and 2500 pts.

I think it's harder to play with fewer points. And it's stupid to play games at 500 points or below, because they are completely random.

60%ish. There's only one good player in my group, and i beat him about 40% of the time. The others need tactics. Really, it's pathetic.

As for game size, I prefer 2000 - 3000. Gives me more units, so if my COK fail the charge and get slaughtered, I haven't lost; there's the other unit just there! Plus it lets me field a level 4 sorceress without thnking "Will this restrfict my units to much?".

Around 40%. I just don't know how to hadle horde armies since I play mostly Dark Rider army (sometimes some knights). And defensive armies give me some problem too but not as much as hordes.

I've won just over 80% but i've not played that many and beside's i'm mainly a 40k player :oops: I've lost to empire but that's cos
1, didn't know about detechments and why you don't charge the parent unit
2, he's very good a firing that motar he love's so much
but really there's just no really good talent when it comes to playing fanasty where i live it's all 40k
I'd rather lose a closely fought game then have it all sown up in a couple of turns.

Strangely, been here longer than most of the Admin staff.......

I really have no clue what percentage of games I win. Out of the three people I play most two of them have a tendency to lose focus of the objective, tending towards trying to wipe out my army. After all is said and done they're celebrating how many of my guys they killed until I point out that I captured the objective. The third guy always gives me a good game, dice allowing, and it often turns into a grudge match. I wonder if it's coincidental that he plays high elves?

Aside from that I hate playing at my local store. I have gotten some of my friends at school to start playing, but I'm not ready to count my victories over them as such yet. Maybe after they have a few months down. Anyway, based on that I'd say ~60-70%.

Mi ratio has dropped as of late from 90% to 70% because somehow I've managed to draw 3 of the last 4 battles; I hope to recover soon, though. In my last battle I massacred the HE opponent (he conceded after 3rd turn) :).

thanks guys, i didnt know i would get so much of a reply, keep posting, cos its really fun to see how other people do compared to me. I win about 70 % of games but hope to increase that, i can beat everyone at my school but at my gw i lose badly (most of the time, but with some draws and minor wins to me). Still, i can beat orcs and gobbos ( 3 2d6 hit s5 fanatics is killer aginst toughness 3 5+ armor save units!!!)

Heh, I play a couple of different armies, so...

With DE (which is what I assume the question refers to) I am about 35-45%, probably closer to 35%. My biggest problem is that one of my regular opponents plays Lizzies and Chaos, another plays chaos and Skaven, and another plays HE and Brettonians (although pretty much always HE now, until Brettonian Book Comes out). I have problems against the high toughness Lizzies, and one of the chaos players plays mostly mortal (warriors and knights-grr!)

<sigh>

However, with my VAmpire Counts, I am about 80%-mostly because I just make more units and flank, force frenzied units into bad positions, etc. Heh, besides, one of the players' main tactic with any of his armies is to just move forward and hope to attack as much as possible. <sigh> oh well.
Well, time WOULD be nice...
And, Storm of Chaos is here. Are you ready?

I've no idea exactly what my win/loss ratio with my DE is, I would guess it's around 50%.

It all depends upon who you are playing against of course, as well as the attitude you are taking into the game (ie is it a trial of a crazy concept list, am i designing a no-fat killer list etc).

Or are we talking about proper (over 50 players) tournament games?

I'm about about the 80% range, it would be a lot higher, but when I started, I lost many many many a game to Lizardmen. Even now, every game versus them is close.
Witch Elves still suck ;).

I have this horrilbe tendancy to draw the vast majority of my games. I have like a 60% Draw ratio, doesn't matter who I play. I like to think its the fact we have a nice balanced local group here, with only a few weak links, and the makes for a nice log jam at the top for best general.
We stand now on the precipice of something monumental and perhaps even capable of boggling the mind in its myriad potentials and possibilities. Try not to drool too much…

Discounting my learning phase of a couple games, I would say my win ratio is really high. Probably about 90-95%. I play mostly with my friends however, and don't see a wide variety of competition. We have some new people coming in however. mmmmmm.....Fresh meat.

Probably about 94%. It does annoy my brother and my friends, up to the point where my brother once said that there was no point him playing because I was gonna win anyway. Also my friend has resorted to a type of cheating involving moving his guys when noone is looking, or measuring them from the front of the unit to the back when moving. :evil: and yet he still loses!!! and I'm not even that lucky. Games usaully involve me with bad luck to begin, and then about one turn good in the middle, in which I crush my opponent

My games are usaully about 1000-1500pts

I've lost only once, against the wife, I threw the match, but I still count it as a loss.

I win about 65% of the time, although, the only people I've lost against
are people with 10 years of experience! Those loses were close too! :D

Hmm... I have played 4 games, lost 1, drawn 1, and won 2......
so I'd have to say exactly 50% :)
