I have a good one
We were war at with a Saudi clan of 15. They did the same attacks most clans do, like letting the lower guys do the ground, work middle guys came in slowly ,and top guys holding out at least one attack til the end. In the last hours of war the 14th base on our side had only been one starred. The war was one star in our favor and we only had a few attacks were remaining they were able to bring it 1 star in their favor by "pocketing" the 14 with a 3 star win. We had only our 11 guy left with 2 attacks. We needed 100% from most of their bases' to gain any traction. He 3 starred their #12 to tie it up. The next available base for our guy to three star was #7 which was impossible. We had however not attacked the number 1 at all because it wasn't likely to be 3 starred. So we sent our number 11 with a lv4 dragon in his cc, 200 lv 5 archers with 3 rage spells and lv 1 barb king and was able to nab 53% ( and 1.3 mil in loot). Winning the war in the last hours by pocketing the #1 . :p

If it was a perfect world
3 star from weakest up. The clan that did that to us won.
We pick/assign bases based on our perceived ability, ie: I am 11 and use dragoon as mid th8, I can 3 star most th8, i say i can take any base from 9 -13 ( all of the th8 in this war), my mate at 12 does gowipe, picks base 10, another at 10 hogs and picks the highest hoggable base he is comfortable with, say 12. Those who do not pick in a timely fashion are assigned a base, starting with 20 assigned 20.
We generally do not pick 1-3, we have a good hogger so often he will be assigned cleanup/backup.
We too constantly preach strategy, watch live attacks, demand no attacks without clan castle troops (2x and face the boot).
We expect mates to bring their best army, had one person with dragons constantly GiBarch or GiWiz for 1 or 2 stars, no he does mass drag if GiWiz unable to 3 star or he gets kicked and can not do a loot raid if we are winning with his 2nd attack.
We prefer everyone to make 1st attack in 1st hour for the intimidation factor, enemy logs on and sees lots of 3 stars and figure war not worth the elix to fight.
2nd attack, weaker players try to cleanup in their range, stronger players wait till after 12hrs, top 3 wait till near war end or when they want.
These are our simple rules. On wars where we follow them we usually win. On free for all wars (no chosen/assigned bases) its a toss up, people tend to overestimate their attacking ability, like 16 attacking 7 and getting 28% lol
