We think we've figured out why, but we'll wait till the second set of games has started to share our thoughts.
Care to share yet Dan?
It was similar to what ZZ had guessed.

The away games ended up with a really weird set of pairings and teams that aren't used to playing with each other. Set teams make all the difference in the world.

Yeah we spent a lot more time on our round 1 home team pairings than we did on the away games. Round 2? Well that was just an all around ass kicking by the robots.

I hate to be right.
Just kidding, it was great fun, especially the Iraq and Africa quads - what a back forth battle both have been.

Wow, well played G1. I thought O&H had this in the bag, great comeback.
Very well done G1! My hats is off to your magnificent team play. G1 is full of classy players and they deserve this win completely. I know a lot of clans that would make excuses and such about how they lost the war rather than the other guys winning it per se, G1 won this challenge....period.

Thanks LMS. Very nice of you to say.
O&H has been a great clan to go against and one of my favorite challenges as of yet. You've all been a pleasure to play and I'm sure we'll meet up again sometime in the future!

I second this statement. It has been a very enjoyable first venture into clan wars with very friendly competition.
