Ok im gonna get a message for posting too much but hades did not plot against red mist. We couldnt even plan ops and kick dead weight. Hades never sent a message declaring war on red mist so apox spies must have told him that we decided to join misfits in the fight. Red mist was mark as enemy a few times before the war (bad leaders i guess) so i that could have gotten to apox by spies also. About your flash war strategy (this isnt an insult) that was Hitler's strategy in world war 2. It was successful at first but it quickly wasted all of the NAZI's supplies and when the attempted to invade Britain their advance was finally stopped. The frustrated hitler decided that he would go against the pact he made with russia and try to invade them (to make himself feel better basically). Now with supplies wasted away fighting a war on two fronts against powerful armies the NAZI lost the war. I admit that red mist is a great alliance with amazing grepolis players but they should really take into mind the what happened to the NAZI because they are on track for the same thing. Apox im not calling you Hitler at all, i would never compare anyone to someone as evil as that.
In school i studied a lot about Hitler and to tell you the truth he was a brilliant man, although his intentions where wrong. But if i remember correctly hitler used the "flash war" tactic against Poland only.
In Poland he bombed all their air bases in the middle of the night leaving Poland defenseless from sky raids and what not.
But my strategy did not resemble Hitlers. I called it flash war simply because i created an op over night to break the pact and attack not long after.
But my strategy(which worked perfectly)
-12:00 break pact
-13:00 attack the collectors far from their core in east 54
-15:00 hit collector core
-17:00 attack the leaders and the alliances top defenders
In total we revolted close to 30 cities at 17:00 defenses scrambled and everyone tried to look after themselves at this point pretty much everyone's wall was cleared because most people had their support out.
That left only brieme support to handle which my alliance could easily clear.
Incase anyone was interested in my strategy thought i'd share the basic idea
