Halo Wars stats wipe was "human error," Microsoft admits

Sounds as though there's no chance of the boards being restored: Nelson said the "unfortunate incident" has "resulted in the loss of all data" related to the strategy title's online portion.

In a word, "whoops". Bet the "human" involved feels awesome.
