Results from HQ for August 2014

Greetings human friends and patriotic warriors ...

The august war is over ... and spying with my trusty telescope I see the smorgasbord leftovers trampled and squashed in the muddied trenches. War is indeed a hungry business.
But which valiant army won? The fabulous USA? Or the fantastic UK & Commonwealth?

The Challenge
The fabulous USA fielded 23 troops, nabbed 8108 points = 47.3%
The fantastic UK & Co fielded 18 troops, snatched 9027 points = 52.7%
Well done to the UK & Co for bagging victory on the Challenge battle... led to glory by their super general jules44. .... bravely pursued by America's Suep.

But was it enough to seal my American buddies fate?

The Survivor
The USA sent 13 warriors into the fray, won 3425 pts = 43.5%
The UK & Co sent in 18 trusty troopers, grabbed 4458 pts = 56.5%

Two battles = one monthly war.
USA = 45.4%
UK & Co = 54.6%

Wow! Did you just feel the ground shake? Feel the tidal wave rolling in from the Atlantic as the cheers broke the sound barrier at Buckingham Palace? The woad wearers have done it again!

The August War was won by the UK & Co by a scary 9.2%!

America ... stand firm! But what can you do in the face of such superiority? Raid the smorgasbord goodies? Douse them with water pistols loaded with gin & tonic? What a shameful wicked thought from moi, the pacifist penguin referee, though muttered with a little gleam in my eye. So please no throwing matches and igniting any worthy warriors into fire brands. Besides, no one takes this war seriously and I do not advocate cruelty to humans, not one bit.

Still .. I have my splints and bandages ready for the next war has begun .... and shall now jog off to cheer for all of your from the sidelines, the safest place to be as battle commences yet again.
