Some major things some people miss are:
If the person you're attacking is LARGER in net (and I'm not sure by how much larger), then you lose at LEAST 4% readiness per attack. Even if you're only sending 10 troops to attack someone with 0 troops, you're going to lose 4% readiness. Which significantly drops the # of attacks you can do. But remember! This applies to someone with a LARGER networth than you.
This 4% readiness drop doesn't matter as much if you have higher SPAL, because you can continue to cause your enemy to lose population each turn while you regain you readiness. You do this by using SR! Be sure you DONT go over on your 100% readiness, because that's a missed opportunity to attack (ie. missed turn). (Also, remember a player begins to spy out after about 50-60 attacks) (spying a country is unaffected by being SPIED OUT)
Also remember, you don't want to have ANY AVAILABLE readiness at the end of your attacks, because those all are missed attacks.
You never want to send more than 1/3 of your troops. It has been my experience to use CD over and over if need be. Be sure to have a large mass of troops yourself. Each CD is based on 8% of your own troops.
Dropping their readiness is sometimes useful, but I prefer not to use it, unless they have a massive amount of troops. If you can afford not use it (thats 7 spy attacks you can use on SR).
If you don't have the better SPAL, then you most certainly can remedy that by buying MS tech and Warfare tech before using your 360 turns.
Basically making your MS tech 130% is HUGE. Tyranny bonus 120*130 = is 160% gains. You're basically gaining .6 a turn with each attack. And with each CM you get- you're basically gaining 2.5 to 5 turns a missile (which you can gain some CM during your 360 turns if you buy Warfare tech.) Besides you don't want to use them until the end anyways.
Min for GS (but GS do more dmg when not doing min dmg) (exception 6-10)
GS 5 Civilians
GS 5 Civilians
GS 5 Civilians
Min for BR
BR 10 Civ
BR 10 Civ
BR 10 Civ
I'm sure you've seen this before for the last 20 attacks.
A CM does a min of 25 civilians(5 GS attacks basically)
And rarely will you be able to use BRs at end unless you are jet heavy or they have next to nothing in turrets. If you buy the warfare tech- there should be no reason to have to use BR ever. Unless they have SDI- unlikely on EXPRESS.
This is why I think ANY govt can kill someone with 360 turns. But non-tyranny needs almost an advantage in each field to do it. Esp DEMO.
EXTRA NOTE: Non-GDI get +10% atk gains and GDI -10% so multiple 1.1 or .9 respectively.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
