Nice illustration of the diversity (you missed Ogres by the way)

More than half the games against the 5 biggest bash teams.

Sure, but you have to bear in mind that of the 200 games played, 109 were CD and lizards - add undead to that, and you get 120/200 played as bashy teams.

Pick a bashy team and you'll end up playing bashy teams.

I think that is something missed out of talks about diversity in the box.

How did you manage to play only 2% of your Box games against CDs? I have played 207 Box games and have played them 17 times. They're just behind orcs and khemri for me.

@gjopie - Lizardmen aren't a bashy team. They're middle-of-the-road, on par with necro, humans, and norse. The sauruses take a long time to make bashy and the skinks are a constant liability.

Cloggy, I added Ogres, thanks for pointing that out.

gjopie, I don't count Lizards as a bashy team, so I would say that 77/200 of my games I was coaching bashy teams. I also completely disagree with your statement that "Pick a bashy team and you'll end up playing bashy teams."

I think the opposite is closer to the truth, I think if i had only coached bashy teams I would have played less bashy teams. I have no proof of this theory, except for my soft teams rarely seem to play other soft teams.

Maysrill, I think the reason I have not played vs. CDs more is mostly because I was coaching CDs for many of those games. My first 100 games in Blackbox I never played vs. Chaos Dorfs, about half of those I was coaching them.
