Claesar: Thanks for setting this up for us :)
In the A+B column for Power SC totals, Germany has 5 SCs by mistake instead of France. Probably a formula mix up on cells

It appears my formulas don't update when I sort rows. I'll have to think on a solution.

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series
Noteworthy trends in these results:
- Germany and Austria placed twice
- France is dead last, only power eliminated in every game
- Matticus is crushing it, only player to place in all three finished games

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series
Oops
Amended: France joins the illustrious company of non-Austria non-Germany countries to place once. Nothing to see here, everything is fine with the state of France in the metagame

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series
These preliminary results may make Austria look decent, but keep in mind that Austria has already been eliminated in every single ongoing Flight A game. That score won't increase.
Austria already has 7 eliminations (out of 14), whereas no other power has more than 3.
Reminder: Don't discuss ongoing Gunboats here. So don't comment on the performance of an Austria in another match.

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series
Caveat that we're not even done with the series yet, the following commentary only reflects finished games, and even once we finish this is only a sample size of seven...
Germany's performance has been incredible. It's averaging a 12-SC finish while the remaining six countries have a combined average of roughly 4 SCs, has the only solo, and only failed to convert one performance of those finished so far into a win or draw.
It's interesting to try to discern the impact of this dominance. Turkey is the best of the next group of performers, with a respectable 7-SC average; this makes sense to me given that Turkey is the only power that's meaningfully distant from Germany. Rounding out the middle tier is England, Russia, and Austria; Russia got its results from a great game by Matticus involving a rare German defeat, England got its results from allying Germany in two successful finishes, and Austria split the difference (which makes sense as a power that can be a natural ally to Germany but can also end up a formidable lategame rival). France's nightmarish performance can reasonably be attributed to German dominance and the persistence of an E/G metagame.
Italy's performance surprises me a bit, but if you consider that Germany's dominance has resulted in a weak Russia and thus a strong Turkey or Austria, Italy doesn't actually benefit very much from German dominance here--only in the context that it prevents French dominance, but replacing French masters for German ones doesn't help very much.
I'll save policy prescriptions until all seven games are finished, in the spirit of not influencing ongoing games in which I'm a participant, but this has gotten me thinking.

Re: Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series
I didn't follow this too closely but my own personal experience in Gunboats lately is that Austria, Germany, and Turkey have been performing very well. I think France has been performing quite poorly.
