Results from HQ for April 2012

Greetings once again my faithful warriors!
The abacus has been rattled and I nervously hold the results in my fishy flipper. Whew ... am I glad I'm the one who gets to weild the referee's truncheon and don't have to scamper bravely across the battlegrounds.
A fine battle! But alas, there can only be one winner.

On to the stats. Brace yourselves, my friends.
The Challenge
The USA fielded 23 crack players, they grabbed 6236 points for their wonderful country! = 43%
The UK & Co, clearly invigorated with Olympian zeal, fielded 25 deadly destroyers, grabbed 8263 points = 57%
The UK & Co won the April Challenge by an awesome 14%.

So I move on, smartish, ... choking back a little sniffle, to the really backbreaking, braincrunching Survivor battle. Hmm .. not keen on that murky green shade myself ... but this blog has been revamped! Or so it claimed when I logged in and discovered mind boggling mayhem and new improvements of dubious merit.
Sorry ... back to the serious business inhand or even afoot.
The USA snatched 2446 grenades to stash in their arsenal. = grab your tissues NOW! = 30%
The UK & Co, bagged 5711 = 70%

The military tactician in me suggets the niggling thought that the UK had the larger army on the Survivor.
BUT ... this stunned, awed spectator says ... the armies were equally matched on the Challenge.
Could it be true then?
Is the UK & Co the better army? World Rulers?
Is the Old Empire back and stamping it's mark on the USA?
Over the two battles ...
The UK & Co army won 63.5% of all the spoils of war.
The USA army won 36.5% of the spent shells and empty grenade cases.
Aprils victors!

Crowning Champs Day. April 2012


The throne's getting a little worn now ... did you know the comfy cushioning is impregnated with our lovely jules44's anatomy now? There are little indentations on the seat. Or they might be teeth marks. I've fondly named it jule's champs chair. What a wondrous little bionic human she is.
So please jules ... let the resident penguin invite you to take a bow and settle comfily in your chariot, well, that lever on the right arm does look rather like a joystick.
WorldB was the top American General .... he romped in as best USA player in both of the battles. And I'd also like to say here, because these things are vitally important to an armies morale ..
Welcome back to Marsalinator USA and moomin UK ! Yes, they're back ... I spotted them through my binoculars. And welcome also to a new enlistee .... Braindart who's answered the rallying call for USA  reinforcements.

We have new Invincibles to cheer ... and Fear. but where have Schoonie101 and hammerdjh gone? Someone tell them all leave has been cancelled. That's official, from Pengy HQ.

Sadly, hammerdjh and johnsnow were evicted from the red, white and blue ledges. And so was strum. Different ledges you understand ... one nation starry .... the other stripey.
They are undoubtedly the most fearsome players but I always have a soft spot in my heart formy MOPS, the months Most Outstanding Players.

And here are all the players who managed a personal best, who managed to climb up the rankings from March. Here ... let me soothe those poor litle feet suffering friction burns. It's you guys who make the monthly war so much fun.
