Army selection this year was slightly more diverse than previous tournaments. Rumors were ripe about an influx of Samurai armies but only one managed to appear on the day. Patrician Romans (4) again prove popular, followed by Beja (3), Late Romans (3) & Sicilian (3). The split of armies across all 4 books was significantly different to 2002. Book 2 armies were down from 44% to 32% while Book 4 increased from 21% to 33% reflecting a steady increase over the years in the popularity of medieval armies. Book 1 total 16% and Book 3 19%.
The level of "draws" was significantly down at 20% compared to the previous year (30%). This was no doubt due to the smaller army size being used (350AP to 375AP in 2002). Interestingly, of the 53 drawn games, 46% come from less than 16% of the players.
