Results from HQ January 2017

Greetings humans!

This is truly nail biting stuff .....
In October the US won, breaking the long run of UK victories .. in November the UK & Co won .. December, once again saw the US fighting back and challenging the holders of world domination. Never has the fighting been so close.

So who grabbed victory in January?

The Challenge
The USA fielded 15 worthy warriors, who grabbed 7752 points = 51.2% of the spoils of war.
The UK & Co sent in 11 crack troopers, who snatched 7386 pts = 48.8% of the spoils.
That was close! A measly 2.4% margin! Less than a mere 400 points but glory went to the USA on the Challenge battlefield.

But if you think that was close ... the Survivor had me gnawing my flippers with dreadful apprehension.
One army won by  .... 1 point.
Yes! Only 1 point.
The USA fielded 9 dynamic patriots ... who won 2284 pts = 49.99%
The UK & Co fielded 12 invincible quizzers .. who won 2285 pts = 50.01%

I am humbled. I am stunned with admiration ... you're a damn clever bunch and the fighting couldn't get closer than that. Humans .. your countries are privileged to have such fearsome patriotic warriors to uphold their honour. This pengy salutes you all... and besides, it's very exciting.
A bit OTT?

Okay ..
The US won the Challenge ... the UK & Co won the Survivor ...
The January War. ( two battles = 1 war)
The USA won the January War with 50.6%
The UK & Co valiantly fought, and lost, with 49.4%

All leave is cancelled!
My UK & Co friends ... enlist your veterans ... recruit new heroes and heroines... send out the cry from the white cliffs of Dover to the shores of Land's End and every small pub in any hamlet or any local chippy on the way. The USA is offering no quarter .. after years in the wilderness of defeat they are back! They have won magnificently for the last three out of four monthly wars and soon they will believe they are unconquerable... and we can't have that.

Shrug into your flak jackets once again and get and fight for your country!
