When to reinforce
i thought i would start a discussion thread about when to reinforce someone under attack, this is not about whether or not you should reinforce, but how long b4 the attack you should reinforce,
to make this simple i see reinforcing in two different ways, there is the asap way and the last gasp way.
to explain asap way is to send your reinforcements straight away as soon as you know someone is being hit.
Last gasp is to set it so your reinforcements arrive just before the attack hits.
each has its pro and cons
ASAP.
1) can mistime the reinforcements
2) might scare the attacker in to recalling
Last Gasp
1) element of surprise
2) Makes interesting reading for the other side if they suddenly dont kill 10%
i thought this could be a disscussion thread by which people can add there own pro's and cons as well as discuss reinforcement tactics.

i think the only reason not to do last-gasp is cuz your alliance mates (some of them/most of them:oops:) are incapable of accurately typing the actual arrival time of the attack.
