Results from HQ December 2016

And a Happy New Year to all my human friends & worthy combatants!

I hope you had a wonderful time, enjoyed your celebrations and are still fit for battle.
So how did the final war of 2016 go?
My astute friends, yes, that's you! Will remember that the UK & Co's stranglehold of unbeatable conquest was broken in October 2016 when my American buddies daringly snatched victory after years of  been hammered into the ground.
And that in November .. the UK took revenge! Mess with the UK at your own peril , that's what I always say.
But in December .......
Ah, well the fighting was ferocious ... read on ....

The Challenge
The USA fielded 15 crack troopers, won 7568 points = 52.4% of the spoils of war.
The UK & Co sent in 12 woadwearers, won 6861 pts = 47.6% of the dead and spent Christmas crackers.
Wow! Two equally matched armies, both played well but ...
The USA won the December Challenge battle by a margin of 4.8%

But could they carry this supremacy onto the muddy trenches of the Survivor battlefield?
The Survivor
The USA fielded heroes and heroines, bagged 2258 pts = 48.7%
The UK & Co fielded 12 fantastic warriors, bagged 2381 pts = 51.3%
The UK came surging back, pelting mince pies and tree baubles at the enemy  ... well, this is the Survivor where the UK are famed for been nearly always unbeatable.
The UK & Co won the December 2016 Survivor by 2.6%

One win each! Oh, this will be close!
Wait whilst I excitedly, and not without a little terrible anticipation rattle my hi-tech abacus.
Final result over both battles
The USA = 50.5%
The UK & Co = 49.5%

USA you've done it again!
The USA won the December 2016 war by a close, very close margin of 1%.

This is as close as it gets .. well, almost as close. Back in May 2009 we did actually get a draw with both armies facing off across the great watery divide in a stalemate.

Well done America!
Never again can the UK & Co rest easy in their beds at night ... never again can they be complacent and assume unchallenged dominance of the globe for the Bald Eagle is angry, is vengeful and is swooping back to rule the world.

It's amazing how a drop of shandy can make me so loquacious isn't it?
Remember, I do not condone war for I'm a pacifist .. now, everyone shrug into your flak jackets, I don't care if they're snug after all your festive over eating and indulgences .... get out there ready to fight in the trenches once again for your country needs you! Yes! You!

All leave is now cancelled.
For this is War.
