Battle of Chalons
Battle of CHALONS - General Strategy and Prep!
Summary
We are playing a 132B team and an 82B power team. We are 3rd strongest at 60B and our plan will be to “Attack Defensively”.
To explain, Noc, Abs and I will plan to get rallied, so we want to have as many reinforcing marches in the 3 of us as possible. Even smaller players who can send layers and or anything is helpful.
Strategy
The first 5-20minutes Noc and I will be jumping around to find mid targets to zero, I will assign 4-5 other smaller players to work portal locations, the mid tier players and everyone else will either wait before entering battlefield, or stay ghosted /hidden…… once we have killed what we can, everyone except the location players will “ALL” HIVE up at a pre determined location that will be linked in chat.
Once Hived, everyone will want to get a march in ABs, Noc and I as soon as possible and ghost the rest. Be smart about how you rein or ghost, we are also going to rally as a team and everyone is welcome to join those so ghosting attack march(s) then send reinforcing troops, but if you don’t have 6 marches - Send Reins in order of importance until full ABS, NOC, then Jax. The most important thing is the generals and layers as I discuss later down….. you might consider training enough layers so you can reinforce each of us, even if no big troops, but if not, send what you have.
Mid tier/ Can’t Full ghost players… Get your Rally bullets Range / Mounted / Siege ghosted and reinforce us with the other 3 marches, the additional troops you can’t ghost will just plan to die.
Another tip from Petram for the too big to ghost crew, inside the battlefield shop, or in the buffs section once in battlefield they have a 300% march size capacity buff for 25,000 gems that lasts for 5minutes. This would be a good thing to use at the beginning to be able to stack as many troops into the reinforcements as possible!
Best reinforcement / Ideal but not mandatory….. Ideally we can get Siege and Ground reinforcements to the 3 of us, but we will take anything you have, for the generals, ideally full gear General based on the troops sent and a Debuff (subcity) general as Assistant general. Since we will be defensive rallying….. your subcities won’t be involved in many battles, you can consider sending the subcity generals to reinforce us and your attacking generals still ghosted ready to join rallies.
Rallies
I wanted to be clear, being on the Line call will make you twice as useful in knowing what Rally is coming so you won’t unghost at the wrong time… call isn’t mandatory but extremely recommended. In the past only the bigs would join the rally, so I wanted to clarify….. EVERYONE is welcome in the rally no matter how big or how small…. To further clarify, I set the rally with a troop type, IE. Range….. but if you don’t have range, you can still join with whatever you have for this war! Meaning I can fit 38-40M troops in a rally, so a FULL rally is FAR better than a small rally. Ideally yes, a full range rally with only range marches is ideal, but not mandatory, so if you can afford to heal, DO IT, but if not SEND IT!
Final Thoughts
Keep in mind, the battle can change quickly so we want everyone to be ready to adapt to what we are facing as the battle progresses…. We could change at a moments notice and will give instructions in chat, so stay true to the planning outlined here unless you hear different! Let me know your questions, and if you can play.
