I think we should add comments after they attack, like "Ouch, those double big bombs hurt", or "Shoulda dropped BK sooner".

The guy that called me, #5, has L4 Golems and L2 witches. I'm expected to get rolled. Hoping I can hold off the 3rd star.

I was really worried about their th8s. And it looks like I was right. Anyways. I don't think I can focus on the low end th8 assignments. If someone wants to marshal their 30-50 better than a shoot first ask questions later be my guest. I think we have enough firepower from 26-49 to take care of their bottom 20 for 3 stars everywhere. Maybe.
The math looks really bad up higher. There will be tremendous pressure on the top 10 to execute to perfection. The TH10s cannot go into any attack thinking a 3 star is not likely. Our th10s have bandwidth for at most 2 2 stars. Any more than that and it's over.
I'm gonna break down their bases by air/ground with the idea that we are looking for high ground2s from th9 and low air 3s from th9s and so on.
We are in a major, major hole. We cannot sit around with thumbs up our asses waiting to attack at the last second. This will not help anyone. I'll have the list out in about 2 hours but the assault on their bottom 20 needs to start right away.

I may not be attacking before I retire for the evening (midnight my time) so I'll just see what's left in about 8 hours. For the moment, I'm building for #28, which I think have a shot at 3-starring, though not a great one, but my sense is that we need to be swinging for the fences at this point.

I completely understand the perspective, but if everyone swings for the fences, some will fail, and we can't afford any wasted attacks. Let's forget about chasing their total and simply try to maximize our output.
26 and down should be 3-starred.
4-25 need 2 stars each
1-3 need 1 star each
That may or may not be enough, but it's a target we should aim for. The first line might be the biggest hurdle, but it has to happen if we stand any chance.

So no idea who I'm attacking.

I think that would be a success, but wait for green light from culdeus.
Ron, same thing, culdeus is looking at all the bases to find the optimal way to get us there. Stay tuned.

Assignments are in.
We have only 6 backups for any of this and some of the backups are not strong enough to really pick up the gaps. This has been heavily curated to put the right troops on the right bases with the right driver. Myk is clutch, I trust him in this spot where he has less troops than some. Don't be mad about this and remember we do have 5 backup attacks.

Those in the top end without assignments, so they don't look all over the place:
Igbomb - Have you attacking the top two TH8 remaining to sweep those stars. At the moment that's 36 and 37
Dude and SMN - Have you on standby for anywhere you can add late or sweep th8 as needed.
Skinny - Have you as a high level standby as well.
Anyone under that with TH9 level troops and 220 slots is welcome to swing at the upper bases after the TH8 are swept.

Stay positive here. If anything from seeing the other reddit clan the very best thing they do is isolate the ####ty bases and wipe them for 3 early. We saw Tango really slow down late and fail to add major stars. These guys do not have the offense we have, but they have the participation and organization for sure.
I'm not throwing in the towel quite yet.

Strategy to Win
It is IMPERATIVE to have every single TH8 three starred as soon as possible. Every two star attack on a TH8 hurts the war effort due to a second attack needed to clean that base up. Attack lower than you feel necessary to in order to get three stars.
Likewise, every one star attack on a TH9 hurts the war effort.
War Strategy is constantly under review. Please check back often to review any changes.
We had 12 of these just in the first hour. I just don't know how you can expect to work around this if 40% of our clans the best troop they throw out is drags short of just telling th8 to get loot and popcorn in wars.
- We will communicate our war strategy through clan mail. It is mandatory to check your clan mail on war days.

Well it's not just those. We don't even have the firepower to take out the th8s left and complete all these.
We have 21 attacks of 245 (>TH9 all camps+cc with something good) with some pop left
26 attacks we have left have at best a haymakers chance of adding 3 stars lets say to the lowish th8.
So being generous and starting from 39 up with the 21 attacks
That gets us to start with 82
Lets say just to be aggressive we need 115 to win. That number really more likely is 125, but setting that aside.
So you need to clean all the way to 14 with 3 stars to get to 112, this on 17 attacks and give margin of error of three attacks that don't go totally perfect.
Now we have 4 attacks left to scoop up enough to cover any failures on those 17 attacks and pick up an additional 5 stars for 8 total stars to take us to 117.
They need just 10 attacks to get to 118 from our 22 down. and they have double the amount needed in attacks with pop to get this done given shuke and buttworms.

Folks in the bottom half of the clan (40 and under):
Buckoff - 1 attack
Craiggebz - 1 attack
PrincessButtercup - 1 attack
Ignoramus2 - 1 attack
PatrickMustang - 2 attacks
Speedwad - 2 attacks
Jordan - 1 attack
Buttworms - 2 attacks
Bases with open stars to get -
41 - 1
42 - 1
44 - 1
45 - 1
46 - 1
48 - 1
Just my opinion but we have a tendency to box ourselves out of attacks folks can make. Their bottom 10 are getting the stars on our bottom 10 so no reason we can't do the same.
Right now we have 6 stars left to get in the bottom 10 (41-50) and our folks 40 to 50 have 11 attacks to take. Unless any one has a better idea (and one that doesn't involve our 25-39 getting these stars) - these guys need to take their attacks and try and capture these remaining stars.
This way the folks above can focus on the 4 open stars from 30 to 40.

Sorry, I didn't see this offer and already failed. Teslas were actually were I thought they were but in the fury of the moment, I neglected to notice the nearer cannon that the loons would obviously turn left for. Without my AQ, that was a mistake that cost the 2nd star.

I want #1
Eventhough you have this in Air raid I see no reason why I can't take this guy down for 2 or 3 at the opening bell.
He has one wall to get through for the core.
I plan on doing some variation of a Gowiwi/Walking Dead - with one jump spell to get in, 2 freeze spells to hold all the high powered defenses and then 2 rage to tear through the core. I've looked at this base mutiple times - drunk last night and sober this morning - still confident I got this.
Give me a reason not to - I'm all ears.
