Results from HQ August 2017

Greetings humans ... it's your garrulous pengy referee once again.

The monthly war is getting close .... two fabulous armies battling it out with neither side willing to surrender.

So how went August?
The Challenge
The USA sent in 15 crack troopers, snatched 7940 points = 51.9% of the spoils of war.
The UK & Co fielded 10 human dynamos , bagged 7365 pts = 48.1% of the goodies.
The USA won the August Challenge battle! But it was close. Closer than last month ... the UK & Co are ferociously fighting back!
Do my American buddies have enough of a lead?

The Survivor
The USA won 1968 pts = 50.05%
The UK & Co won 1964 pts = 49.95%
Wow! This required a hi-tech kick of my abacus for fine tuned precision. Only 4 points between both armies, a mere sliver of a penguins oily flipper! I don't think the Survivor has ever been so nailbitingly close.
I feel for you UK ... I really do .... so close and yet ... denied victory by 4 measly points.
The USA won the August Survivor.... just.

Two battles make one war.
The USA = 51%
The UK & Co = 49%

Congratulations to the USA for another fine win ... but ... be careful, for the woadwearers are regrouping, girding their loins and sharpening their quizzing skills and scrolling wheels .... as last month, in July, our American friends win was a whopping 9% , now whittled down to a mere 2%.
Brave American warriors, for you are indeed brave and awesome, you are been reeled in for the kill. Did you tremble then? Can you hear their footfalls coming? Storming through the trenches , chasing on your heels, hungry for victory.

Everyone pile into the trenches and let battle commence!
