It seems that about 20% of players are new to the game (10 games or less). All things being equal (and with the caveat that I'm not a statistician !) this seems to suggest that, on average, the gaming population could replace itself every 5 years. This actually seems quite high to me and implies that GW are quite reliant on their veteran gamers for business.
Do you calculate Victory Points ?
response / votes / (% votes)always 15 (18%)
usually 31 (37%)
sometimes 22 (26%)
never bother 15 (18%)
Well 55% say always or usually so make sure you take your calculator to the next battle :)
Almost 20% never bother totting up victory points which suggests to me that they're keeping alive the spirit of the "friendly" game (that's a relief !)
