The October war was won by the USA!
Quick, my American buddies scoop up any UK player who has fainted on the floor.
Well done! It was a long time coming. The USA have not won since April 2014 ... wow! ...  but like the true fighters they are they never surrendered. Sometimes our heroic American friends won the Challenge, but lost ground on the Survivor ... but slowly and inexorably they kept coming, undeterred, advancing, and finally, the UK embattled and under siege .... has buckled and been conquered... and can no longer be called supreme rulers of the world.
USA , this pengy raises a glass of shandy to you in a salute.
On sober reflection this victory is no surprise. Take the Challenge battle ... the top three spots held by three great American Generals. And in the Survivor, 5 of the top 6 finishing spots held by more great Americans leading their army to a much anticipated victory.

UK ... are you going to take this lying down? I think not. All leave is cancelled. Take a deep breath, gird your loins and wade back into the new fray and regain your dominance.
Whilst I ... meek and mild pengy that I am, shall shake out the Star & Stripes, throw away the mothballs and go and hoist it proudly on the Challenge for all the world to see and admire.
