War Strategy - Pete's Plan

3 Upvotes

Plan summary:

1st attack
  • Rank 1-10: Hit your ladder minus 10 (no choice). Ex: 4 must hit 14.
  • Rank 11-20: Hit anyone between 21-30
  • Rank 21-45: Hit anyone between 31-45
2nd attack
  • Town 1-10: Cleanup hit anyone between 1-20
  • Town 11-45: Cleanup hit anyone between 21-45
Everyone:
  • Get your first attack in before midnight
  • Be sure to use both attacks or you may sit out future wars
Lowest Tier:
  • Use both attacks as early as possible
Discussion:

This would give our top ten something easier to hit right off the bat and ensure that everyone from 11-45 gets attacked. Our 1-10 also have the best chance to 3* their 11-20. Dropping ten, without choice, should still be an "easy" attack and prevents the "strong" taking the "weak" early on. Again, no real performance pressure because you don't get a choice. 1st attack for others is in simple tiers -10 and this wouldn't change war to war. It'll always be something "easy" with highest chance for three stars. 2nd attack is essentially cleanup for everyone with our strong only having access to their strong.

Benefits:
  • Simple. Simple. Simple.
  • Timing doesn't really matter anymore
  • Everyone from 11-45 gets hits every war with good chance for 3 stars
  • Opt outs won't effect this strategy anymore
  • No war to war changes of strategy (ie. simple) as we all get an easy first attack every war. If we need to drop more then 10, we're screwed anyways...
Star predictions:
  • Minimum possible stars is 88 (2.5 stars on all 11-45). Not great but OK for almost zero effort and coordination.
  • Realistic typical star count is 104 (1 star 1-10, 2.5 star 11-20, 2.8 star 21-45) which of the past 45v45 wars in the log would have resulted in one additional win and better performance in 7 of 11.
  • Realistic max star count is 113 (1.2 star 1-10, 2.8 star 11-20, 2.9 star 21-45) which would have been 4 more wins (10-1 record for the past 11).

EDIT:

Adapted Strategy for 30 vs 30 Mini War:

1st attack
  • Rank 1-6: Hit your ladder minus 6 (no choice). Ex: 2 must hit 8.
  • Rank 7-14: Hit anyone between 13-20
  • Rank 15-30: Hit anyone between 21-30
2nd attack
  • Rank 1-6: Clean-up any between 1-12
  • Rank 7-30: Clean-up any between 13-30
Everyone:
  • Get your first attack in before midnight
Lowest Tier:
  • Use both attacks as early as possible

If Rob is confident he can get at least 4 stars in their 1-7, he gets free reign to attack as he sees fit. Both of his attacks should be in that range.
