I think we really need to make it a four clan war to assure no gang ups.

If we went to 4 clans, I think 15 would be satisfactory. I can check with a couple clans and see if they are interested.

[Gilligan]

Let me see if G1 is interested.

[Gilligan]

Will there be a round limit on all games, say 20 or 30? Some games like this could easily stalemate.

[kuma32478]

That's probably a good idea. I'd propose 50 rounds to make sure it only comes into play in case of stalemate

I'd day anything at 30 is a goner

[Gilligan]

Another thing I meant to ask, when do you plan on starting?

[kuma32478]

I hadn't given start date much thought. Was just seeing if there was interest. I'd say probably sometime in late July or Aug.

The sooner the better.
Id say July 22

The issue with that is we have a war with WAR planned sometime in August. So I have to agree with BG, do the 22nd through the 5th, 3 week period (if G1 is in...I'll let you know tomorrow)

I'm on vacation from the 13th - 21st so if we could do the 28th, that would be better.

To confirm:

AQoH - Confirmed
TNC - Confirmed
FISO - Confirmed?
G1 - Waiting on confirmation

A 4th clan potentially takes a lot of maps out of the equation, a good number of maps on CC become total lotteries with 8 players, but whatever, plenty of other maps to choose from. Also not sure just how having a 4th clan will prevent "ganging up", instead of potential 2v1 it can be 3v1 or 2v1v1 - although I would hope that everyone would try to win each game for their clan rather than sacrifice their own chances to stop another clan winning another game, but it is the same as tourney play, if you can't win any given game you will do what you can to help the overall position if there's more to it than just winning/ losing the game.

30/50 round limit for all games, no problems with either as most won't go anywhere near that, personally I prefer to win games by wiping out the opponents/ gaining any objective rather than win by troop count a couple of moves early, but a win is a win.
Trench 50% max, fine.
Nukes, as long as no deliberately timing out is permitted then no need for limits, use at your own risk!

If there's to be 60 games then that's 120 playing slots, there's probably a formula but without one that says different I'd say min 12 players, max 15 games/ player.

I'm not in favour of one clan home set all at the same time, disadvantage for first to select, advantage for last, especially if they're leading.

4 clans - 5 each for 3 sets
3 clans - 7 each for 3 sets (yes I know that's one extra map/ clan, I like symmetry!)

Maps - I use for each clan, fine.

Start date - 3/4 days notice is enough for me to get it planned, so whatever suits everyone else is no problem.

Here's a couple of other 4 clan wars for your perusal:
MB(22) v OSA(31) v HH(27) v TNC(28)
OSA vs War vs AKA vs DYN
