On June 15th, a practice battle between the Help Force and Army of Club Penguin took place. With both armies being similar in many ways in terms of sizes and tactical defense, the results took the community by surprise. Let us head into the details of the battle.
COVE – HELP FORCE
The battle began with the Help Force having a size of 19 with the Army of Club Penguin maxing a size of 11, an advantage of only 8 penguins. The clovers entered the room first. Despite the fighting from both sides, the Help Force won this room due to their dominance over most aspects. Furthermore, the formation choices allowed the Helpers to highlight the size advantage and cover their opponents. This happened with the plus, the V, and the upside-down T, as the Clovers opted to make simpler forms like horizontals and diagonals. This pattern would repeat itself across the battle.
FOREST – HELP FORCE
The second room of the battle saw that both armies were quick to enter the room, with no exact knowledge to see who came in first. Near the beginning of the room, Help Force had a max of 21 with the Clovers having a max of 9. The Clovers repeated a form from the previous room, whilst the Helpers got into a Z formation, covering them. Near the end of the room, the Help Force ended with 17 whilst the Clovers with 11. This room went to the Help Force due to covering the Clovers throughout most of this room and the Clovers having weaker forms.
INSIDE MINE – HELP FORCE
In the third room, both armies were quick to enter, but it was noted that the Clovers were slightly faster. Sizes at this point were 14 for the Helpers and 10 for the Clovers, a small size advantage here. However, ACP’s formations were still gappy and seemingly smaller. This was highlighted when they formed an upside-down T. Throughout the battle, sizes for the Helpers increased to 16 with the Clovers decreasing to 9. Thanks to their size advantage and more creative and effective formations, the Helpers were crowned the winners of the room and, therefore, the battle.
Although both armies are very similar in size to each other in other battles, it is a surprise to see where the route of this battle went. The answer to the question of why the battle went the way it went could simply be because the armies are different in terms of their AUSIA divisions. Despite this, it is obvious that both armies and their troops had a great time fighting each other as they both did not give up. We hope to see more battles like this in the future, and perhaps a rematch between the two. What were your thoughts and impressions on this battle?
