Five hours into the war versus “Happy Tribe” we had cleared the bottom 8 bases. It was a typical, excellent S&R start to the war. Avery and FYI had also put stamps on the top two th9s. Avery put down a devastating GoLava (taking advantage of the extra haste spell), and GCH used an earthquake-enhanced GoHo where his queen nearly came out unscathed.
Happy Tribe would not be quieted by our early onslaught, however, and would chip away at our bases overnight. By the time there were 7 hours left in war they had caught up and would soon take the lead. By this time we had lost 3 attacks and had several 1 stars. These poor performances were mostly attributable to a failure to adhere to the fundamentals of taking out the cc and AQ.
Most members of the clan know the strengths of our leadership. However, many may not know Celeb is a true tactician. Our biggest advantage at this point in the war would be the greater number of th10 attacks we had remaining, and Celeb would work with leadership to determine the best place to use them. to maximize our stars. With 3 hours left in war, he would also clear a base with a GoVaHo, which would tie the match at 63 stars a piece.
They earned three more stars after that, but we added eight for the win. Congratulations to Celeb, GCH, Destro, Mrs. Duke, Bill the Cat, Boyhitscar, and Triadd for 6 star performances. Olav would earn most heroic attack versus #1 with an exceptional queen walk. Dragon Slayer's base would earn the most heroic defense in one of its 7 soaked attacks. It was never 3 starred.
We would be remiss if we did not add an official congratulations to the clan for last week's win that earned us level 7 clan perks. Our ability to win war after war is a tribute to the time and energy you are putting into planning and execution. Well done, and congratulations. |
We would also like to acknowledge our big donators, Flo, Jim, Celeb, R2, Cloud, JD, and Duke who have recently or will soon cross some impressive FiN milestones. We also know there are many other thankless donators that fill clan castles each war. These acts make us a strong clan and we are better for it. Raze On!
