Rating User Summary
4 + 4joelaHard Boiled Armies. I was pleasantly surprised by this product. On the one hand, I half-expected/half-dreaded a lot of crunch, or rules, similar to miniature war games like Warhammer or the late D&D Miniatures game. Instead, HBA offered a simple concept and lots and lots of options: want to keep combat at its personal PC versus individual monster level while the war rages around them? Done! Use the PC rogue's Stealth check to lead his entire troop unseen into the enemy fortress? Done! The paladin's Lay on Hands affects her 500 man army? Done! (That's one potent Lay on Hands....)

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
