Results from HQ July 2016

Greetings patriotic warriors and human friends ...

July was the first engagement in that wonderful and wondrous thing called our Tenth Tour of Duty. Yes! The stuff of legends and sagas. The greatest cross-Atlantic battle ever fought.
At this point, this humble pacifist Pengy who incites war would like to thank you all for playing, for it is you, and you only , who have meant we are heading for a decade of strife and never ending conflict. And an especial thanks to a great many of you war vets who've donned combat jackets over the years, shrugged into your kit and dared to brave the battlefields , enlisting in a great many Tours of Duty since 2007 and staying the course.
All helped , of course, by our fearless Qmel and martin cube ... keepers and providers of the tantalizing field rations and treats made available to nibble as you slog through the muddy trenches whipping your mice into a clicking frenzy.
Enough! I could wax lyrical all day.
What of the war?
Who won in July and gets to proudly hoist their flag?

Come on my American buddies you can't let the old Empire get away with that! Resist them .. fight them on the beaches, in the harbours, fight them on the windswept prairies .. and remember you can beat them! You've done it before.

Everyone shrug into your flak jackets and jog along to the battlefields ... I , the pacifist one, have the aqua vitae and a massive supply of bandages and splints at the ready.
