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

              30                                    5                          10

              35                                    6                          11
 
Witches, Wizards & archers

No of spaces in cc.   No of witches.       No of wizs.     No of archers
              25                            1                             1                            9

              30                            1                             2                          10

              35                            2                             1                            7
 
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)

27 - Tam (all drags + 3 lightning)

26 - cookie (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.
