Here's the results. I think the interpretation is that the numbers show how many people preferred the row option to the column option. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Options:
1. Hb3n Hb4n Hb5w Me2w (H->a5, M->d2)
2. Hb3n Hb4n Hb5w Ha5n (H->a6)
3. Hb3n Hb4n Dd1n Dd2n (H->b5, D->d3)
4. Hg2n Dg1n Me2n Dd1n (H->g3, D->g2, M->e3, D->d2)
5. Me2n Me3w Dd1n Ed5n (M->d3, D->d2, E->d6)
Results:
| 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | | 1. | - | 8 | 8 | 9 | 11 | | 2. | 5 | - | 9 | 9 | 11 | | 3. | 4 | 3 | - | 6 | 7 | | 4. | 3 | 2 | 5 | - | 7 | | 5. | 2 | 1 | 4 | 4 | - |

I don't understand M->d2. Was our camel under so much threat?

There was no long-term threat to the camel, but it will be more powerful in the west with both silver horses on that side. And if Fritz ever launches an Elephant + Camel attack in the southeast we'll definitely want our own Camel away from that quadrant.

This. M to d2 had definitelylittle to do with a threat on the caMel but rather with the fact that e to d3 M to e3 would have made us lose steps (which is not clear, the question is whether we might have moved from e3 to the western wing through d4 with the help of our Ed5) as we want our caMel on the western side quite soon. I would actually never play such a step, for fear of losing time while Ha5n seemed more pressing, but maybe it was the best move 
I don't really see how m to g3 e to e/d3 h to b3 can be ever played, unless our pieces get seriously misplaced. Also didn't H to b5 D to d3 partially block the way of our M towards the western wing and make us lose steps later?
