Latest Opinions on Assault/Defend PBEM Ratio

Arr.. too many formulas for this old pirate to chew on..

You should see what I do for a living. While knee-deep in P values today, I realized that my formula is too simple, in that its linearity is a problem. A quick fix might be to take the final force multiplier minus 1, find the square root of the difference, then add back the 1. Thus, for the two examples:

1.14 would become SQRT(0.14)+1 or 1.37 or 5,500 attacking points.

3.6 would become SQRT(2.6)+1 or 2.6 or 5,200 attacking points.

This pushes everything back toward the mean nicely.

There'll be a pop quiz tomorrow ...
