Sounds like one of the most sensible wars ever waged - here we are loaded up with our weight in sheet metal, toting nasty sharp objects, someone could do themselves a serious injury here, so lets try it in the manner of our primitive forebears - lots of noise and posturing, til everyone feels satisfied, then the two sides each retreat to their preferred pub and sit around telling each other how they would have really done it to the other side if it had had to come to that, and a damn good thing those other guys backed off, top up this tankard, barkeep. I bet all their wives were absolutely thrilled with the outcome ...or almost all, anyway
