TB Update: Phase 4

Well, exactly what I tried to avoid -- and what we did indeed avoid last TB -- happened this time. Namely, we failed to earn 1 star in the Phase 3 Power Generator grid to the south. Of course, this grid refreshes, and I took care of earning that star today with my alt. But, it will take another 24 hours for us to move forward into the southern Phase 4 grid.

So, hit the Phase 4 Forward Airspace full force, as per usual. And let's focus on earning that 1 Star on the northern Phase 4 Forward Trenches grid. And it will take all of our resources, so go all in.

That 5,220,000 requirement is quite a lot. Also: Do not bother with the Phase 3 grid to the south. As I said, I took care of finishing it off to earn a star. No need to waste our resources earning TP that essentially mean nothing.

As for a breakdown of what happened with Phase 3:

We failed to earn a star in the southern Rear Trenches grid on Phase 3 because a number of you didn't follow the guild directives. We absolutely wasted resources on earning Territory Points in the northern grid after we had already earned 1 Star, since reaching the TP goal for 2 Stars was mathematically impossible.

You'll note that we wound up earning 4,252,474 more Territory Points than we needed. We usually overshoot a bit, which is understandable. But this is a significant number of TP. Now, here's the southern grid:

This is the Power Generator grid to the south that I finished off with my alt earlier today. We didn't miss by much, but we did miss the goal.

If we hadn't have continued deploying troops in the northern Rear Trenches grid, we could have easily earned 1 Star in the Power Generator grid yesterday, then doubled back with remaining resources for Platoon allocations in the north. 

So that's the story, everyone. We'll get it next time, I'm sure. Good hunting.
