Results from HQ August 2012

The abacus has been rattled and tidily stashed away.
A quick sip of shandy as I sit with the results held in my nervous little flipper.
Another quick sip.

My American buddies have been slowly closing the gap ... so ... was August the month when they managed to beat the Good Old Empire?

The Challenge
The USA fielded 23 crack troopers,  nabbed 8403 points = 51.4%
The UK & Co fielded 23 warriors too, snatched 7944 points = 48.6%
The USA army won the August Challenge by 2.8%
Our Stars & Stripes heroes and heroines won July's Challenge too ... by 6%
Three Cheers for the USA!

Ah ... but if only war was that simple. We fight on two battlefronts here ...
A quick trot, dodging minefields and missiles over to the second battleline
The Survivor ... the really tough one where the injured litter the trenches and I humanely trot around dispensing bandages and splints.
The USA nabbed 3925 points = 42.2%
The UK & Co snatched an awe inspiring 5378 points = 57.8%
Stretchers at the ready for the poor American heroes!
The UK & Co won the Survivor by 15.6%

Which overall means ... rattle the abacus ... Two battles = 1 War
The USA nabbed 46.8%
The UK & Co snatched 53.2%
The UK & Co won the August war by 6.4%

But take heart USA ... in July it was by 9% ... June by 11% ... May by 21.5%
Pengy premonition coming! I feel a tingling in my flippers.  In 2 months time the USA will rule the World once again!
(Unless the UK & Co see the juggernaut coming and stop it).

Enough chatter from Pengy HQ. Shrug into your flak jackets and dive back into the fray!
