It was short, fast and furious and it was brutal! 
Well ... February is a short month.
Our courageous American friends limped off Januarys battlefield.
Scalped. wounded and weary .... but did they come back fighting!
They surely did ... with rocket fuel pumping in their veins ... but was it enough to grab back control of the war or did their friends across the water still rule supreme?
Less chat ... more stats
Let's see.
The Challenge
The USA fielded 29 troopers, won 7226 points = 52.8%
The UK & Co fielded 29 troopers, won 6464 points = 47.2%
The USA army won Februarys Challenge battle by 5.6% .... they won this battle by 3.6% in January ... and won the month before that aswell! Are they good or are they good? Equal size armies but pure and simple, the better army won!
That's one UK scalp nailed to the totem pole. Bet that hurt UK.
The Titan
This one is always a good fight ...
The USA fielded their usual small, crack squad of 9 players, won 5201 points = 51.5%
The UK & Co, aiming to take the field by storm had 13 brave warriors, won 4891 points = 48.5%
The USA won the February Titan battle by 3%
The USA won Januarys by a nose ... only 0.06% ... but this month went out to prove they were
fitter, cleverer and faster of foot ... or, at scrolling and clicking their rodent jaws.
Good work USA, that's two UK scalps nailed to the totem pole.
Sticking with the theme of poles brings us to ......
The Mogul
Yup, that despicably dangerous one where wriggling under the 60 second guillotine makes all the diffference between earning bonus points for your country or getting skinned alive! Pengy apologises for the blood thirsty theme today, but war is war!
The USA slithered under the guillotine, and grabbed 2810 bonus goodies as they ran = 42.2%
The UK & Co rocketed underneath and grabbed 3850 = 57.8%
The UK & Co won ... and won very convincingly I might add by 15.6% ... the February Mogul battle.
Don't be disheartened my American friends .... last month it was an awful 26.8%
This is encouraging ... lasso and reel them in! You can do it!
But alas, not just now.
I hear alarm bells ringing now. I look fearfully at my one man bombproof shelter .... yes, soon I suspect I shall be running for cover.
Are the UK & Co about to storm to another success?
The Survivor
The USA army eluded the Pit and Piranha long enough to win 3270 points = 48.2%
The UK & Co army ran the gauntlet and avoided elimination long enough to grab 3510 = 51.8%
The UK & Co won Februarys Survivor battle by 3.6%
Last month it was 5%
Ah ... I suppress a sad sniffle and reach for my abacus ... and a tissue
Four battles make one war
And Februarys war comes in at ....
The USA = 48.7%
The UK & Co = 51.3%
Februarys victors are ... The UK & Co by 2.6%
In January the woad wearers won by 5%
Pengy prediction coming on!
Should I wash and iron a Star & Stripes ready .... it might be needed by the end of the next monthly war?
But for now .... Success, Glory and Acclaim are still with the magnificent UK & Co army ...
Aren't they Great!

The Top 10 Mogul list on the right is incorrect...
Hi Anon
In what way?
I'm guessing here that you mean you've referred to the Mogul bonus Point list .... not ... the Hall of Fame on FT?
I work it this way....
10 bonus points can be won for your country by getting all 10 answers correct within 60 seconds.
However ..the final monthly placings correspond with FT.
Why?
Well ... if a whole gaggle of players earn the same bonus points, as can happen with a few, the only way to fairly split them into 1-10 is via FT's method.
As I'm using multiples of ten bonus points for the battle it in no way alters the teams final tally.
Hope that helps?
Per your scores (at ligny.org) the Feb scoreboard was as follows:
1. jules44 28 14 410
2. markswood 28 0 270
3. hammerdjh 28 3 260
4. WorldB 27 0 250
5. rage 28 4 250
6. Clamking 28 2 240
7. lg549 27 0 230
8. Helmar 28 0 230
9. mike32768 28 0 230
10. dippo 28 0 230
As you can see, places 1-3 had different bonus points. Places 4-5 had the same bonus points, but WorldB played one day less. Places 7-10 all had the same bonus points.
This is no way corresponds with the FT Hall of Fame for the Mogul as that is based on FT points. So a player can get 10/10 in less than 60 seconds every day and still not feature if other players lose some days and win some days in faster times and get more FT points. Am I missing something?
