Started this up again bhoys because the email on the game is so shite. Here's a list of targets for the war tonight. Danny and gerry08, I've left you off the list as you normally attack on Sundays and can decide who best to clean up or attack for best amount of extra stars.
25-ozz/zebradroid
24-deano
23-fifers
22-sandman
21-mick
20-rydol
19-pat 2
18-tam
17-seany
16-jaggy
15-euan
14-brother
13-cookie
12-patrick
11-andy doc
10-kearnsey
9-chip
8-gerryac
Celticbadbhoy, don't go for the really high th10s, try to get 2 stars off the lower to middle strength ones. Andy b, supa, have a look at the high th9s or low th10s.
2nd attacks should be for cleaning up stars lower down. Our aim should be to 3 star ALL th8s, most th9s and 2 star high th9s and low th10s.

Clan Castle troops
Bhoys,
I wanted to layout our war defense clan castle strategy and specify exactly how many of each troop should go into each cc.
I think for th8s and below, we should go back to a couple of wizards and a ton of archers. For th9s and 10s, we can add a witch or a couple of black balloons
Wizards & archers only
No of spaces in cc. No of wizards. No of archers
15 1 11
20 2 12
25 3 13
Witches, Wizards & archers
No of spaces in cc. No of witches. No of wizs. No of archers
25 1 1 9
Please have a look at the distributions above and at the clan castle you are donating to so we have the right combos.
HH!

1st attacks for war Sat 10th Jan
Bhoys, before I post the targets, I wanted to clarify our stance as a clan towards fighting in the wars. Because we only fight once a week, we expect evrybody to use both their attacks and to use their best troops when attacking. That's it. You can attack bases that are already 3 starred and you will gain a loot bonus if we win and a smaller loot if we lose. But use your attacks, don't hide behind the excuse that we're going to lose so what's the point or there were no more viable targets for me to hit. By doing that you are disrespecting your clanmates who have already used both attacks.
I understand that dragons cost a lot of elixir but at th lvl8 and below, they are the most powerful and effective form of attacking so I expect our lower level guys to use full dragon attacks against the lower bases to guarantee 3 stars. Also the use of hogs and lvl6 balloons from the clan castle in conjunction with full drags can work well in getting rid of a final pesky air def that would otherwise systematically take out all your drags as they are mindlessly trying to destroy a guinness tank.
If for some reason you can't fight a particular war, please leave the clan on Friday before button is pushed then rejoin again afterwards (say why you're leaving otherwise you'll have everyone wonder what is happening!).
The other types of attack that seem to work well in the wars are
1. high level ballons with minions in behind (and maybe a lava dog to distract air defs).
2. high level hog attacks with well placed heal spells (and cc disposed of first!). don't overlap heal spells, they dont double up.
3. Gowipe (golem, wizard, pekka) attacks. These seem to work well at th9 and 10 if used properly
4. Gowiwi (golem, wizard, witch). Again more for higher levels bases.
Giants don't seem to fit anywhere in war strategy (apart from maybe low th7 and th6 bases which can be done with giants and healers), though I have seen the odd fantastic giant/wizard combos, but these are few and far between. What I'm trying to say is that it's worth sticking to these types of proven troop combos in the war and you can practice with other mixes of troops during the week.
Here's the first targets for tomorrow. I've gone back to including everyone in attacks. If there are any stars left behind, we can pick them up on our second attacks. I put my suggestions on some of the dragon bases.
30 - Pat Jr, Deano, Boshie, Sammy
29 - Pat Jr, Deano, Boshie, Sammy
28 - mick (all drags + 3 lightning)
27 - fifers (hogs)
26 - hound (all drags + 3 lightning. Lightning top left air def then send your lvl5 cc hogs at bottom right air def, then send drags to clean up)
25 - Tam (all drags + 3 lightning. Lightning the right air def, send lvl 5 cc hogs at bottom air def, then all drags at final air def)
24 - rydol (all drags + rage + big drag in cc. put drags in an L shape around lab. start with 1 drag at each end point, then rest around de tank and spell factory so the main bulk charge up the middle to the centre. use rage only when in range of air defs and dont overlap the rage spells, the dont double up)
23 - Danny (all drags + rage (maybe 1 heal for balloons) + balloons in cc)
22 - cookie (9 drags, 4 hogs + lightning + hogs in cc, will chat tomorrow)
21 - Jaggy (all drags + rage, ballons in cc )
20 - Pat (all drags + rage (maybe 1 heal for balloons) + balloons in cc)
19 - brother
18 - stookie (hogs, get rid of cc first)
17 - mikey
16 - Euan
15 - jambo (still taking sweeties jambo, but from a slightly older kid!)
HH! Their top guy is called Scotland, let's just assume he's a hun!

1st Targets for war on Sat 3rd Jan
So that last crew were a bunch of cheating gem spending cunts. This clan might also be from Asia where this ghosting thing is the most widespread. At least though from an attacking point of view, theyre a lot easier than the last lot and I think we can 3 star their bottom 15 fairly easily.
Here's the lineup
30 - Anyone from our 27-30 have a go at this one, doesn't matter the order as long as one 3 stars it.
29 - fifers (hogs)
28 - hound (all drags + 3 lightning)
25 - Danny (all drags + 3 lightning)
24 - rnjackie
23 - Jaggy
22 - Pat (all drags + 3 lightning)
21 - Brother
20 - Jambo
19 - Stookie
18 - Euan
17 - mikey
16 - Hammie
15 - Fred (give me a shout when you're on Fred, I had a look at this one and think you can 3 star it with dragons and hogs)
It would be good if the above could get their attacks in as early as possible, so we can see where we are at a bit later on for second attacks and for where the high guys need to pick up stars.
For the big bhoys, I would leave their top 8 and try to get 3 stars off 9-14 first before going for the high guys on your second attack (with the possible exception of 5, who has left his air defs relatively exposed to hogs at the bottom, leaving way for a lvl4 drag attack from the top)
As I mentioned before, for anyone who is not in the above list from our no 15 downwards, go for whoever you think you have the best chance against.
To repeat a point that Chip mentioned earlier on clan chat, the general wisdom seems to be to set your inferno towers to single target as they do more damage.
Finally big props again to mikey, jambo, kearnsey and Fred, who sorted out the war ccs this week.
Good luck, we definitely have a better chance at this one if these don't turn out to be cheating fuckers.

1st targets for NY War
First off, these guys are tough! But let's try our plan of taking out the lower end bases with higher level fighters. Here's the list of attacks that I think might get us 3 stars, though 20 down might be difficult.
30 - Tam (all drags + 3 lightning)
29 - hound (all drags + 3 lightning)
28 - jambo (whatever)
30 - Tam (all drags + 3 lightning)
29 - hound (all drags + 3 lightning)
28 - jambo (whatever)
27 - cookie (all drags + 3 lightning)
26 - jaggy (all drags + 3 lightning)
25 - Danny
24 - Pat (all drags + 3 lightning)
25 - Danny
24 - Pat (all drags + 3 lightning)
23 - Stookie
22 - Hammie
21 - Fred
20 - Euan
19 - Brother Walfrid
18 - Jambo (he assured me he could take this, but on the miniscule chance that he doesn't 3 star it, Chip can you have a go after? ;-)
17 - mikey
16 - Danny Mc 17
15 - New Gerry
It would be good if the bigger bhoys held off to see how we get on then clear up any stars before hitting the higher numbers.
I did a bit of scouting and think that 13 is perfect for a lvl 4 dragon attack with all rage spells. if you drop the dragons in an arc from about 10 o clock right round to about 4 o clock, they will burn their way through most of the base before even being targetted by air defs and as soon as they are in range, you can drop rage spells as they all converge on the centre. Supa, Gerry and Andy Doc, any one of you could 3 star this I think.
As I mentioned before, for anyone who is not in the above list from our no 15 downwards, go for whoever you think you have the best chance against. We're unlikely to win this one but it's a good opportunity to hone your attacking skills.

New Year's War
Hey bhoys,
I got totally pissed off with the 120 letters or whatever I was allowed to use on the clanmail, so from now on, I'll just post the address to this blog where I can use as many words as i like and you can also comment without your comments falling off the bottom of your clan chat.
So for the next war (the bhoys convinced me to push the button tonight), the plan is to try and 3 star the bottom 10-15 bases off the bat using higher level bhoys against their lower bases. I'll post a list of targets tonight/tomorrow morning so we know who is attacking who. Hopefully this will demoralise the opposition so that they don't bother fighting and we can all go for loot.
If you are not on the list of attackers and are in the bottom 10 , you can freely attack whoever you like. If you 3 star the base, then youve just saved the named fighter for that base to go at a different one. If you 1 or 2 star it, it doesn't matter because the named fighter should 3 star it anyway.
I messed up the link on the clanmail about using dragons properly, so here it is again. http://tinyurl.com/kxt4got
