Desert Storm (DS) is a fun weekly event. You can battle and win Alliance and Honor Points along with some of the best rewards in the game. And as a bonus, you do not lose any troops while fighting but you can spend diamonds and Healing speed-ups to heal troops.
You must register to participate.
1) Only Level 15+ can participate.
2) Go to Events > Desert Storm Battlefield tab.
3) Select a Team and click the “Request to battle” button
4) Each Team can have 20 participants and 10 substitutes, so only register if you know you can be there.
The opponents are selected by the game on Thursday
Please show up on time! Another player couldn’t participate because of limited signups, so not showing up is rude.
Once you enter the battlefield, leaving ends DS for you. If you are 5+ mins late, substitutes can come in and you have to wait if it is full. You can access your base while in DS.

General Tips
Game Mechanics:
1) You can teleport every 2 mins. This gets reduced to 1 min if holding the Science Hub.
2) Field Hospitals allow you to recover troops. Collect healed troops using the house+ icon. Spending Diamonds and Healing speed-ups are not recommended unless. If you have no more troops, please exit the battlefield so others can join.
3) Only one hit & return per march, no multiple hits or change of orders, only recall. You must return to base to issue another order. You can teleport even if your Squads are outside the base.
4) You can attack/defend from Safe Zone.
Troops:
1) To preserve troops for the long fight master Wall management, smart deployment, and scouting.
2) Keep your Squads off the Wall if a stronger player is attacking.
3) If a weaker player is attacking, hold your Squad until their squad hits you, then send your squads to attack while their squad is outside their base.
4) Attack players when you see them sending their squads out.
5) Take empty buildings with your weakest squad, consider making it 1 low level hero even.
6) Pull your Squads out of a building if holding for less than 1 min and another player is attacking. Attack their base with all your squads, remember they have to recall their troops to defend.
7) Hit the player bases defending a building instead of attacking it directly, once a player is ashed, all their defenders are also gone.
8) Use your scouts to check if the enemy has engaged their Wall defenses, be prepared to recall when marching against a stronger player.
Stage 1 Priorities:
1) Capture empty buildings. Oil Refineries have best initial capture points and yields.
2) Hold a Science Hub for 1 min teleports.
3) Focus on holding Hospitals which can heal 15 units of any level every 10 secs.
Stage 2 Priorities:
1) Big hitters will be focusing on Arsenal, Mercenary Factory, and Nuclear Silo.
2) Assist them by continuing to fight for Stage 1 priorities.
Stage 3 Priorities:
1) Continue Stage 1 priorities.
2) Gather in Oil Wells for points.
