I must preface this Post by saying I was not on till the end of the battle. I had been lying in bed nursing a horrid headache. Nonetheless, had I been there, is there doubt the out come would have been the same? No one knows.
Point being, we cannot judge ACP or even the troops available at the moment a practice battle was called. Troops come in all types. Our grizzled veterans, our schooled officers and our eager to learn soldiers. We cannot gauge ACP as a whole by the mix of soldiers on chat at any one time.
The ability to do that is staggering in the odds. What might help in the future, is to view the available troops on chat, the experience of those troops compared to what the “enemy” has available to them to even request a battle. If we see our chat is not full, and those on are new and eager but lacking experience, the invitation will be declined.
The way to attempt to cure that experience quotation is to 1. Push ACPTR hard, 2. Run non stop drills and practices ( this will most likely drive many away), or 3. Plan and execute drill practices, and run Practice battles on a semi weekly basis. We cannot run divisional battles until ALL soldiers are in a division, including those who joined an hour prior to any battle.
So to say ACP was pathetic is a wholly untrue statement by the mere fact of the odds of a chat being filled with experienced soldiers at any one time. Perhaps the lack of experienced soldiers, ( our fault, not theirs) led to a pathetic showing. All in all, I just want the fairest light shone upon those troops that made the battle. It has been over one year since ACP lost a scheduled battle, I think that alone speaks volumes of this army. Thanks.

Saint: These pictures are only at the time of when we were actually doing well, IF you were there you would have known that most of the time they either outnumbered us OR we were similar in size.
Edit: In defense of our soldiers who were positive we did win, I finally found someone with pics, and they seem to support your argument. Thanks Goodwill.
I don’t think we lost the battle per se, but the turnout wasn’t great, so we need to work harder nonetheless. The low turnout suggests we need to work on taking orders from leaders other than me, and we need to be more committed to getting on Club Penguin as soon as possible. We would have been in trouble if that was an invasion.
