How would you attack this base?
Mass hogs or throw a Golem in the mix?
I am thinking of mass hogs from South East.
I have level 4 hogs and level 2 golems

Hogs (surgical) for certain. I wouldn't start in SE though, I'd likely start at ~2:00. Best natural place for a heal for main group
thanks ... good idea
Any concerns about the hog packs tracking over potential Double Giant Bomb spots either side of Town Hall?
Or maybe even GoVaLo?
Yeah. I would be scared of mass hogs here. GDBs could ruin you.
How would you avoid them?
Not at all. DGBs don't scare me, especially at TH8, seriously. This isn't to say that I'm some God with hogs, just more the power of the surgical attack, which is a lot of fun (at least, to me it is).Quote:

Do what I said above. A nice group of, say, 15-17 hogs into ~2:00 with a heal, then surgical around the base. I might consider some, "cut" hogs for that main group to go into the core, but, otherwise, a fairly straight-forward surgical hog will roll it. Don't forget to use BK as a distraction. Unfortunately, it appears that the best place to use him is where the enemy BK is, which doesn't get a lot of defenses, but might as well.
With as ANNOYING as hog AI is (i.e. they ignore the BK when it's beating on them, even after all defenses are down...), might as well get that threat out of the way.
Excellent lunatic. .. will attack in 6 hours time and let you know how it goes
When you say surgical around base ... do you mean 3 hogs on each remaining point defence. ... following the main pack? Or just choose 1 side?
Well, the way I do it, I don't necessarily/blindly release 3 hogs per defense, but, yes, that's fairly common.Quote:

Note that you may have to pause hog release if your BK starts getting too trashed (which, he ultimately will engaging the enemy BK).
Then, probably 5 into AT and cannon at ~9:00, heal, then 3 into each WT. Extra hog to play with (assuming, at most, 1 hog to pull CC), as well as extra heal. Make sure you cover a bunch of defenses as you heal.
Something like that...
Thanks for this.
I three-starred!
He had a max Pekka in the CC which messed with the plan a little (doensn't die with 2 poison). But I had enough hogs to kill the Pekka and the BK at the end. My BK went the wrong way so didn't engage the enemy BK.
Also took a few wiz for clean-up. There was a lot of clean-up spread around the place.
thanks
Nice!Quote:

This is very weird. I'd have to see where you dropped it in relation to the BK range.Quote:
