It was not a problem.

We currently have a 90K lead over 21st place, a 77K lead over 20th place and a 72K lead over 19th place.

So, I am hopeful that it will not take anymore medals for us to finish in the top 20, I will try to preserve all of the available medals for
season 39.

Also, I wanted to let you know early that I am going to take a trip down to Southern Illinois and expect to miss almost all of
War 1 for Season 39.

What I am planning on doing is to try to participate in Rounds 1 and 2.
lujtg74 will empty out all of their troops in Rounds 1 and 2. So, I will go massive on the towers and corners in Round 1.
Then I will go massive again in Round 2 for the 2 center cells and 2 other center access cells. This may make it more difficult
for you to trade cells with the other Guilds we will be facing, but should make it easier for you to win the War.

I am also curious if blabla11 will figure out what is happening, based on my troop deployments. If they are as smart and observant
as I expect, they will figure out what is going on and more actively participate in the earlier Rounds. But I will not be able to see what
they do?

We have enough medals in reserve that no matter what, we should not have any problems with getting top 20 for Season 39, even if
War 1 is a semi-disaster?

I will save lujtg78's troops just in case I ever get in a position to participate in a later Round.

This may actually be a problem if we get matched up with HItest88 for War 1. So, I am hoping we do not get matched up?

14 hours left and we are in 15th place now.

But stilll 75K ahead of 21st place.
62K ahead of 20th place.
50K ahead of 19th place (Chaos). Chaos has spent some 40+K worth of medals. So,they should not have 50K left.
42K ahead of 18th place (Kador). They have spent their War 7 medals. I do not believe that they have a reserve of medals.

So, I think we are still in good shape to not have to spend any more medals.

But worse case, I will open up one of the salukies that were used last season and access their 22900 medals. (or if I am pretty
sure that 3500 to 7000 will do it, I can use lujtg74 and/of lujtg78)

I am still waiting for Troop counts.

Here are the troop counts for cells that we can attack in Round 5:

It may be good if you could provide help on the following 3 cells, 23, 25, and 42. I am not sure if the Flag should go on 25 or 42.
It may be wasted on 42, but 42 is the more critical cell to keep Red from getting access to the center cells. It is more likely
for Red to send more troops to 25? But do keep in mind that Red send well over 100K (I think it was 117K) to 32 in Round 4 trying to get access to the
center cells.

12 - 0 (Red - uncovered)
21 - 120 (Red -uncovered)
23 - 31915 (uncontested)
24 - 11150 (covered - uncontested)
25 - 32720 (contested by Red)
26 - 65 (covered - uncontested)
33 - 500 (covered - uncontested)
41 - 1910 (Red - uncovered)
42 - 875 (Contested by Red - uncovered)
44 - 90 (Covered - uncontested)
45 - 120 (Covered - uncontested)
46 - 110 (Covered - uncontested)
52 - 165 (Covered - uncontested)
54 - 120 (Covered - uncontested)
63 - 65 (Covered - uncontested)
65 - 80 (Covered - uncontested)
66 - 80 (Covered - uncontested)

Also, after all of the medal spending, it may be critical for me to get an early set of Raw troop numbers, so that I can start planning out what is needed
for us to possibly match up again in War 6. I am currently projecting our Marauder strength to increase from 51851 for this War to 52300+ for War 6.

The question is how much more than 52300 it will be?
