Elite Strategy Drop from DUCKS Leadership

One of our colonels is sharing a proven, battle-tested setup. Allow me to introduce Arnold and his crew from the Island Goons alliance (on PlayStation). This setup has been used to take down high-ranking opponents in warfare.

Arnold sent us two photos from the front-line. I’m not saying it was snapped during WWII, but with that black-and-white vibe and what looks like a military clearance stamp, it’s definitely giving war-era drama.


Here’s the full breakdown for CB8-9:

 

πŸͺ– Barracks Setup

  • Barracks #1: 46 Riflemen

  • Barracks #2: 22 Mortarmen + 2 Riflemen

  • Barracks #3: 3 Tanks + 17 Mortarmen

🚒 Shipyard Deployment

  • Shipyard #1: 1 Submarine, 1 Warship, 3 Gunboats

  • Shipyard #2: 2 Warships, 4 Gunboats

✈️ Hangar Configuration

  • Hangar #1: 5 Bombers, 2 Fighter Jets

  • Hangar #2:

    • If Level 5: 4 Bombers, 5 Fighter Jets

    • If Below Level 5: 3 Bombers, rest Fighter Jets

πŸ“‘ Comms Center

  • 4 Artillery Strikes

Here’s the most important part: The Strategy:


The second photo is a bit grimy, looks like it might’ve been run over by a tank. No worries though, we’ve translated it into clean, readable text right below.
 
So what is referred to as the technique, as I understand it, is (for CB8-9):
1/ wake all defenses, preferably k.i.l.l ranger, hunter by airstrike while doing so.
2/ Air strike camp troops and navy
3/ Draw air and navy out using 1 tank in corner, k.i.l.l air using fighters, k.i.l.l navy using hunter and gunboats
4/ kill most g.u.n.s possible using ground troops. Order of landing; ta.nk, r.ifle, mortar in 2-3 waves.
5/ Bo.mbers clean up map, preferred 2 groups from 2 angles, aim to a.t.t.a.c.k g.u.n.s first.❞

I think this setup and the strategy could work well on high-level CB. What do you think? Let’s kick off a discussion in the alliance chat and break it down together.

Have a great Sunday!

P.S. Arnold is a co-leader in DUCKS and also runs his own alliance on PlayStation called Island Goons. Feel free to swing by and say hi if you get a chance.
