Results from HQ April 2013

Greetings my human friends
Spring has finally sprung in the Northern hemisphere .. but make no mistake that does not mean you can shrug out of your flak jackets and down your sniper rifles. Wars have to be fought and there is no leave granted for you patriotic and fearsome fighters.
No going AWOL and sneaking off for a BBQ but if you must be pretty damn quick about it!

The perpetual battle for world supremacy goes on ... perpetually.
Two magnificent armies ... with many fine Generals and daredevil troops  ... cousins of old ... and now friendly foes.
I seem to be waxing lyrical today. Hmm .. I must snatch more nibbles from the smorgasbords kindly provided by Qmel and Martin cube. Very invigorating .. I wonder what's in them?

Enough of the social chit chat and pleasantries ... down to the serious gut wrenching stuff.

Stats from Pengy HQ.
The Challenge
The gritty never say die USA army fielded 23 troops , who won 6721 points (spoils of war) = 46.4%
The heroically brave UK & Co army fielded 21 troops, who nabbed 7769 points (even more spoils of war) = 53.6%
The UK & Co army won the April Challenge battle by 7.2%
This is good my American friends ... it was more last month at 8%. Do not be disheartened. Think of Boston Harbour and those teabags. It's simply revenge. But it is hard to stop a juggernaut when it rampaging through the trenches and hammering everyone who gets under their feet.
You have to admire them ... and sit silent a moment in respectful awe ...

The Survivor
The USA  enlisted 11 undaunted braves who sprinted like true warriors and won 2419 = 35.2%
The UK & Co retaliated with 18 whirlwinds of mind numbing, knee crunching demi-gods who won an outstanding 4461 points = 64.8%

The April War (over both battles)
USA = 40.8%
UK & Co = 59.2%

Won by the UK & Co Army by a margin of 18.4% ... and the Union Jack will be flying over Buckingham Palace tonight.

At this point I shall pause to catch my breath ... calm my frayed nerves for I am a meek pacifist by nature and only a warmonger from unbreakable habit. And after all, this is frightening stuff.
Yes .. my American dudes and dudettes (this is what happens when you stray onto an American forum) ... friends ... buddies ... you must fight them on the beaches, you must fight them on the landing grounds and ask not what can your country do for you .... but what you can do for your country!

Can you stop the all-conquering UK & Co army?
An angry American is a dangerous American ... so I wait with baited fishy breath (that wasn't a type .. I do mean baited not bated) ... for I have seen no sign of surrender yet. And nor will I for the USA is Great!

A Happy Easter to all my human friends!
Whichever side of the Atlantic you might be I hope you're all having a lovely time.

Now ... I must stop nibbling Easter Eggs, shove the screwed up wrappers into the bin and be warlike. Oops .... please excuse the chocolate around my beak ... it gets everywhere doesn't it!

The Challenge
The USA fielded 26 patriotic heroes and heroines who bagged 7232 points = 46%
The UK & Co fielded 19 super troopers who won 8387 points = 54%
The UK & Co won the March Challenge by an 8% margin.

The Survivor
The USA army nabbed 3133 easter eggs (grenades) = 41%
The UK & Co army captured 4438 Easter bunnies = 59%
The UK & Co won the March Survivor by ... a big ... 18%

My American buddies this does not look good.
Overall result over the two battles .... and 2 battles makes 1 war
USA =  43.5%
UK & Co = 59%
The UK & Co won the March War!

So they've done it again. The woadwearers have stamped their supremacy on the battlefield ... and just when I thought my American friends were valiantly fighting back!
The Star & Stripes is collecting cobwebs in my war chest .... as once again shake out the Union Jack and trot over to the Challenge quiz to hoist it up the flagpole.
But they are good ... truly good and Fearsome ... and dare I say it? The Rulers of the World! Heroic Conquerors. Unbeatable?

Results from HQ February 2013

First, I promise to make no jokes about the UK & Co army eating horse meat.
So ...  did they gallop to yet another victory? Read on .........

The Challenge
The USA fielded 21 fabulous troopers who grabbed 6629 points = 50.1%
The UK & Co fielded 21 brave heroes who grabbed 6594 points = 49.9%
Wow! How close is that!  ... a mere 35 points. See my human friends ... don't ever doubt that every single points counts. It can make all the difference between victory or lying dazed and bruised on the battlefield as a casualty of war.
The USA won the February Challenge by  0.2%.
The last time they won the Challenge was in October 2012.
But beware my woadwearer friends ... the tide is turning ... I've spotted Marsalinator through my telescope. He has returned! Pengy misses nothing! A few vets returning and slipping under the wire will create havoc.

Lately the UK & Co army have had the bit firmly between their teeth ... like a winged Pegasus ....  and we have the Survivor results yet and this is where the UK rein supreme! My American buddies might be in the lead by a nose but who will cross the finishing line first?

The Survivor
The USA snatched 2750 grenades to stash in their arsenal = 39.6%
The UK & Co bagged 4186 goodies  ... a whopping 60.4%
The UK & Co won the February Survivor by 20.8
You have to hand it to them ... they are fabulous ... and Fearsome.


Overall score from the two battles. USA = 44.9%
UK & Co = 55.1%
The UK & Co won the February War by 10.2%
In January it was 20%
In December it was 18%

Take heart my American buddies. I'm twiddling my flippers here speculating over what exactly martin cube  is handing out on the smorgasbord nibbles? Ah ... just read in the itty bitty box

martin_cube: 27/2 treat-Findus lasagne-Giddy Up UK!
Tssk .. and there was me suspecting a covert operation. Nothing secretive about that at all!
And I see Qmel has retaliated. Good!
Qmel: 3/1 treat-frog legs-GO USA GO!

Come on USA! Spring into action and aim high! I'm routing for you!
And me? I shall avoid Findus lasagne and Ikea meatballs and go chomp on some hay.
