Obviously, the problem would be converting a combat report into a scientific method

Is what I pointed out before

And noted that the few times I have seen people try it in the past it ended up being a worthless effort

That is to say upon review, it was easy for anyone to pick it apart to show the errors in it or the bias in it be it intentional or not

Which was not a problem due to the person doing the statistical analysis as much as it was a problem (limitation) with the raw data, i.e. the combat reports

Which are always one sided and typically never contain enough information to recreate the scenario to test and see if you get the same results in the game

Where as with test reports like the ones I use are preformed under controlled conditions with recording devices

But you have your mind made up that some sort of statistical information can be obtained from dozens if not hundreds of combat reports

If someone would just take the time to do it

And that if fine to belive there is

But until it is done it is just a theory

So don't let me discourage you in trying with my notes of how others have failed

Maybe you have a way succeeding where others have failed

So give it a go and report back with your results

Good luck
