We are getting ready for Clan Wars. Who can we count on. If you want to know what to expect, read the conversation I had with our first allies ADD. Commander a_hippie had some interesting things to say.

a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:33:56 PM) does your clan fight clan wars?
a_hippie(6/16/2012 12:34:11 PM) wars
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:34:12 PM) I have ur commander on my friends list, he talked of landing soon in clan wars as allies

BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:34:49 PM) oh, hmm , I wonder who that guy is
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:34:59 PM) coffee?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:35:02 PM) he must be something like Diplomat or recruiter
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:35:09 PM) hold on
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:35:11 PM) anyway I was in a TC one day and we made friends
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:35:19 PM) ill check
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:36:32 PM) where are u landing?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:36:47 PM) we were thinking Africa is the only place we can without allies
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:36:50 PM) we have land in east central africa
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:36:57 PM) oh nice
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:01 PM) thats where we want to go
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:07 PM)maybe we can border you guys
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:16 PM) attack the land to ur left maybe
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:32 PM) actually
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:40 PM) whatever you want us to do, we can
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:54 PM) as allies you can command me to go places with my boys
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:37:58 PM)we can work together
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:38:14 PM) I suggest landing in Tebessa and attacking CIA
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:38:20 PM) then own land together and keep everyone away;)
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:38:24 PM) kk
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:38:28 PM) try to fight your down to the gold hill
BE_Wiggsy� (6/16/2012 12:38:34 PM) Im going to go to the map and make a plan of action
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:38:40 PM) ADD is riends with TBZ
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:38:42 PM) any suggestions, we may do it this week
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:38:44 PM) friends
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:38:49 PM) cool
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:38:54 PM) CIA is on the hit list then
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:39:11 PM) CIA, RIVEN and Rough Riders are all allies
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:39:13 PM) they hate us
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:39:19 PM) hmmm
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:39:19 PM)I dont know why
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:39:21 PM) nice
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:39:30 PM) well they are now being conspired against
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:39:40 PM) I guess because we kicked their *** every time we fought and we had a bujnch of land
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:39:42 PM) CIA, Riven and Rough Riders
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:40:02 PM) kk, talk to TBZ about us all forming an alliance
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:40:30 PM) transformers are allies with TBZ, but TF doesnt liek us much either - when you get 11 territories everybody hates you - lol
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:40:38 PM) maybe one day we can get some really good land. For now Ill make plans to land in.... Tebessa
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:40:45 PM) lol
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:40:55 PM) now fighting down Gold Hill?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:41:01 PM) whats that?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:41:19 PM) is that the landing zone?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:41:30 PM) so attacking TF is an option, but I'd suggest CIA because as you can see they are strung out the length of africa and are about to get hammeredd
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:41:51 PM) Central Illizi is the gold hill - 1200 a day
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:42:03 PM) KK sweet, Ill check the map and target them, now we want all our tier 10's and 9's out there right?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:42:11 PM) ohhh, nice
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:42:18 PM) Tebessa is the landing zone north of the gold hill below Italy
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:42:46 PM) Im copy and pasting this convo for my guys. We will use ur info for sure
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:43:13 PM) any other tips, we may try to land as soon as possible?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:43:32 PM) yeah, you better take all tier 10 heavy, tier 9 medium, tier 8 arty. You can fudge a little and bring a tier 9 heavy or two, but for the most part you really need all upper tier
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:43:48 PM) kk, thats what we have been gearing up for
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:43:52 PM) now about tanks
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:43:57 PM) heavies IS 4s best?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:44:18 PM) and beyond that, its a matter of having a full team on every night that knows the strat for the map and fights as a team
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:44:37 PM) hmmm, kk, EVERY night, not every OTHER night lol?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:44:50 PM) we have two full teams every night
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:44:56 PM) hmm I see
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:45:06 PM) how many on each team?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:45:11 PM) hey, once you take land, there is no day off - lol
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:45:16 PM) you might get attacked
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:45:22 PM) lol kk

(cont)
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:45:31 PM) 15 on each team
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:45:36 PM) how many on each team and what kind of mix is best?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:45:45 PM) oh my, no tier limits?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:46:21 PM) In clan wars, no tier limits. in the desert IS-7s, T110s and Is-4s are your main *** tanks
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:46:38 PM) because of their speed
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:46:50 PM) Nice and I sold my IS 7 like a nerd
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:46:54 PM) Ill buy it back then
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:47:08 PM) we typically use a maus and maybe an E100 at base with T110as for sniping
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:47:33 PM) but for the attack, the IS-7 is the flagship tank in clan wars
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:47:49 PM) OK, that is very useful
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:48:02 PM) and thats because of the speed and front armor
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:48:10 PM) we usually bring 3 arty, sometimes 4 on the desert maps
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:48:16 PM) right
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:48:22 PM) tier 8's?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:48:28 PM) and 2 0r 3 batchats
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:48:42 PM) and maybe 1 or 2 T-54s\
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:48:51 PM) soemtimes a patton for the view range
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:48:51 PM) so a typical lineup for success goes how
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:07 PM) like 2 tier 10 heavies 3-4 tier 8 arties etc etc?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:23 PM) Im sorry to take ur time
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:49:32 PM) Arty: 1 Obj,. 261, 2 T92s
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:32 PM) I promise to make it worth your while
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:41 PM) kk
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:51 PM) we may have 2 type Es
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:49:59 PM) and a T 92
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:50:13 PM) type Es are fine
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:50:31 PM) now patton for view range
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:50:37 PM) we have that
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:50:44 PM) but its usally a good idea to mix the 261 (fast firing) with Type Es and T92s (for more damage)
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:51:05 PM) ahhh, kk
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:51:13 PM) I'd say 3 arty, 2 or 3 mediums, and 10 heavies
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:51:36 PM) you might bring a T-50-2 soemtimes to light up theuir arty and take it out early
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:51:38 PM) well Ill get my 261 and IS 7 in my garage for landing, and that is useful info, the rest will be up to us stratting it up
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:51:44 PM) nice
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:51:50 PM) we have oodles of those lol
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:52:06 PM) T 50 2s that is
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:52:20 PM) any batchats?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:52:34 PM) with good drivers?
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:52:40 PM) so rushing the arty right away still works in Clan Wars? Bat chats yes we should have 2 and maybe 3
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:53:03 PM) the driver has to be good, otherwise it just suicides
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:53:31 PM) kk, well me and our best player will be in them
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:53:48 PM) but yeah, light up the arty with a batchat or T-50-2, and have your arty focusing on the enemy base as the light rushes in and take out their arty
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:53:51 PM) maybe, Ill stress the importance of staying alive then to the battys
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:54:12 PM) the bat is good because it can kill the arty
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:54:22 PM) now about the tier limit, is there no cap?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:54:36 PM) nope - everyone uses the highest tier they have
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:55:04 PM) kk, so this is it!! This is what I played 13k battles in 5 months for!! Im pumped just talking about it lol
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:55:19 PM) I've seen tier 7 heavies, tier 8 heavies, but that's usually desparation
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:55:42 PM) the good teams will be 15 top tier tanks
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:55:53 PM) but you use what you have
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:56:45 PM) K so thats what we will plan for, 15 best tanks possible. Now this alliance will be honorable and with integrity rigth. BE will NEVER burn an ally!
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:56:48 PM) the commander of the battle typically plays arty because its easier to command with the arty view, etc
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:57:06 PM) kk, so I have to use my object 261 then
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:57:33 PM) K so thats what we will plan for, 15 best tanks possible. Now this alliance will be honorable and with integrity rigth. BE will
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:57:40 PM) repeat ??
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:57:54 PM) well, when you take land and stay on it, then alliances sort of start happening but dont get allies all around - have to have a way to expand! lol
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:57:55 PM) we will never betray anyone
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:57:59 PM) so you can trust us
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:58:15 PM) kk, I think we want just one for now then
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:58:18 PM) Good deal
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:58:32 PM) you guys, and if you keep it secret, we can conspire on you other allies
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:58:57 PM) we can be like a secret alliance that no one knows has ur backs till the end
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:59:12 PM) well, we dont have any allies per se, but we are friends with TBZ and we sort of have each other's backs, so to speak
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:59:14 PM) if you need someone attacked, we will be ur Clan
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:59:22 PM) cia!
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:59:29 PM) yeah, well, we will never be a threat to u
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:59:34 PM) Go fot it
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:59:50 PM) Go for it! Everyone down here is tired of CIA
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 12:59:51 PM) CIA is on the hit list, Ill get back to you soon when we are ready to attack them ok?
a_hippie (6/16/2012 12:59:59 PM) ok, GL
BE_Wiggsy (6/16/2012 1:00:08 PM) ok ty for all your time Hippie:)

Feel free to add ADD players to your friends list but DO NOT DIVULGE ANY DETAILS TO ANYONE EVER!!!

I would love to be in, but you probably know the times are not suitable for Euro's, except for the weekends.

Nice that there is an alliance with ADD. However, a word of advice that has been given to me way back maybe also holds some truth in this situation as well: "If they do it to them, they probably do it to you as well."

Trying to recruit new clan war ready members has been unsuccessful until now, I only get 'not interested' as a response (that is the most positive response one gets, I'll spare you the remarks of the haters).
