[10:58] Dianais: That's a critical part of the learning curve.
[10:59] m20321: Dianais - I agree!
[10:59] Dianais: iIf the attack force is small a wrong setup isn't a terrible thing regarding support.
[10:59] Dianais: But with strong attacks, a bad setup means a lot of unneeded loses.
[10:59] m20321: You're absolutely right.
[11:00] m20321: f4f had about 175 troops and I had about 250. The attack was comprised of about 550 troops full of tools. The troops were spread out on all three fronts with a 50/50 melee ranged split.
[11:01] m20321: He would have been beat on all three walls and we would have had a -30% disadvantage in the courtyard. I hated to pull my troops back but they would've been slaughtered if I didn't.
[11:02] monkey67: yea his castle is on fire
[11:03] klemal: I thought the away from home defense was to load up one flank and have all walls maxed out with defensive tools?
[11:04] m20321: You're right klemal. If f4f would have had that setup I would have let me troops stay.
[11:05] m20321: It would've been close if his setup was that way.
[11:06] m20321: I've changed my mind on the ranged/melee ratios. I'm in line with Dianais now. The away defense should be 75% melee and 25% ranged while away.
[11:06] klemal: I changed to that defense right after you all brought it up a week back or so and it has worked very well for me so far.
[11:06] m20321: You can mitigate ranged troops with tools but you can't mitigate the melee troops with tools.
[11:07] m20321: Good! I'm glad to hear it. There's nothing better than whiping out an incoming attack.
[11:07] klemal: I just have to remember to replensish my defensive tools after a attack...and check troop strength, of course.
[11:08] m20321: That's what I enjoy about this game. There's always something to be done.
[11:12] klemal: yep
[12:51] LisaDaisyAnn: hi
[12:57] klemal: Merry Christmas
[13:09] LisaDaisyAnn: merry christmas to you all
[13:11] Crector: Merry Christmas!
[13:14] klemal: Lisa, I see the Grinches are coming t pay you a visit.
[13:21] m20321: Cleaning more troops out for damb
[13:32] Crector: Did you arrange for SF SC to attack bsbarn's op's?
[13:46] m20321: Yes. They were heavily defended so in order to capture SC is attacking to clear troops.
[15:55] m20321: lol - does anybody else see the 20 troop attack headed towards Sammi's OP?
[16:05] Crector: Sending all defensive troops to support Sammi
[16:07] Crector: Should I attack his castle as wel?
[16:07] m20321: He doesn't land for another 10 hrs...
[16:07] m20321: I don't think you can attack him without losing significant honor.
[16:08] Crector: ok
[16:09] m20321: he's got 0 troops at his main. I guess he sent everything he had. I've got spies on the way to Sammi just to make sure she's capable of beating him.
[16:10] Crector: That guy is one sick puppy
[16:10] m20321: lol - I was getting a lot of the same hate mail you were. For some reason he just quit messaging me.
[16:12] m20321: Sammi's set up bueatifully. She'll be just fine. I'd be surprised if she loses more than one or two troops.
[16:23] Crector: Are you going to be watching the Bulls tonight?
[16:26] m20321: No, I'm not really a big NBA fan. I like NCAA basketball though.
[17:17] monkey67: hey guys i was just deliting my mesages and i notist that there was a note from the same guy who is attaking sammi outpost and it was a freandly letter
[17:18] Crector: Msg from coca cola4:
[17:18] Crector: Good Evening, Crector. : )I just wanted to say, "Hello" and send you some resources. I really appreciate the fact that you didn't send attacks every day like some have-- you allowed me time to try to repair damage and get back on my feet--a very noble and honorable thing, and I appreciate it.Thank you again, and if there is ever anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. : )With regards,Coca cola4(Nancy)
[17:18] Crector: How should I reply?
[17:20] m20321: lol - I don't know. I guess "You're Welcome"
[17:20] monkey67: say thank you and other nice comments
[20:06] General 313: diid every one hae a good xmas
[20:07] m20321: We had a great one over here General. How about you?
[20:35] General 313: it was good
[21:23] m20321: Sammi - If you log on and see this the best defense for the capture attack headed your way is 100% ranged defense on the right and 100% melee in the middle.
[00:35] Crector: I replied to coca cola4 by innviting her to join us and got the following reply:
[00:36] Crector: Good Morning, Crector, and Merry Christmas to you. : ) Thank you for the cease fire--I really do appreciate it. I am among the living, but I know that it didn't look like it from the out-of-control BBQ flames over here. You are right, I do need to join an alliance, but I am a Defender and not an Attacker--I would not be any help with glory points.Thank you again for the cease fire, and thank you for your kind message. I hope you enjoy your day. : )Sincerely,Coca cola4(Nancy)
