8 Person Doodle Assassing!

Everyone who's played them knows what I'm talking about:

8 Players
Doodle Earth
Freestyle
Speed Game
Assassin


So my question to you all: What's your strategy to winning them. These games are very much based on luck, but there is strategy involved. How do you play them? What are your tactics? And my main question: do you deploy and attack first and hope for your 6v3 to win, OR do you deploy early and then wait until the end of the round to attack, while everyone is weak?

i stratagy is pretty easy.

Find your target.

Place armies closest to target (if right beside). If not uber close, or if both are close, guess which one is most likely to be destroyed by others (aka if somone holds Andy's mountains and Sarah Dessert, there's a better chance for them to destroy whatevers in between them for more armies rather than someone destroying someone in Australia).

Wait to be in a good position. Dont let anyone know who your after. Once you see the moment, strike.

In the meanwhile, figure out who's killing you so you can be prepared.

easy...at first i follow the same format as Russianfire, i deploy on the territory closest to my target..then i wait for my target to move out. If such doesnt happen i sit and wait until he/she ended their turn, and then move in closer. At the same time keeping an eye out for my assasin

My strategy is to deploy, move and attack quickly, be the first one done with your turn. I won 320 points in 1 game this way.

if he ment to use "assasing" as a gerund (a verb with "-ing" that is used as a noun to mean "the act of") then he should just use "assasination" because assas isn't a verb.

qutie simple strat. If 1 of your territorys can hit both of your targets place their and hope for luck, but dont get below 2 armies on that space. You need to keep that space at all costs. If neither terratory touches yours then go join another game.

Either be the first person to go in the round and try to be quick or wait til everyone is done.

Sure if both your opponents 2 armies are next to you by all means try this quickly. If you can't get to your opponent however never end your turn, by holding off one can win, once I waited til the others had finished their turns, my target blew all his armies and I went in for an easy kill.

deploy fast. that's all there is to it. if you wait, you leave yourself weakened for whoever's gotta kill you. The rest is all luck.

Nope, my target wasn't touching me ( ithink it was a total of 4-5 territories away including his).
