Ok, this guy is amazing! He has gotten the 10th prize 8 for 8 of the events thus far!
Crazy, right?! Well, he has a strategy for that. He has now posted his strategy up in the MW forum and I couldn't resist not sharing his amazing success. Ok, here we go!

STEP ONE
OPEN as MANY crates as possible in the 1st 12 hours! That seems to be the sweetest spot to successfully open them! So the 1st question I see on the threads is "Where are you finding boxes?" - "I can't find any boxes".
So in order to get the boxes this early, you HAVE to do massive PvE missions. If you have a big bank of energy, then choose your favorite place to Farm and GO for it! MW ONLY: I personally LOVE to farm AT's so I bash the hell out of the Amphibious Squad Leader for 94 energy each shot and he gives up a crate about every 8 to 10 shots (plus I get an AT 100% of the time). On one of the events, I was desperate for boxes and killed the Desert Leader on the 1st Map for like 1000 FREE Desert Soldiers and a box about every 8 to 10! Trust me - those Desert Soldiers came in handy later when I was dropping massive units in the PvP event and I didn't give a Spit that I was losing 2 to 3 every battle!
SO - in order to prepare for the PvE cram - you gotta be willing to spend some Gold on Energy Refills! I usually buy a $99 full load of Gold at the beginning of an event - BUT yo don't have to - if you're checking your TapJoy every hour, there are certain offers that "re-appear" on a frequent basis that can allow you to get around 10 free Gold a Day (or more) just to watch a 25 second video. There are others that just require to you install and run an app (delete it 30 seconds later if you want) BUT my point is that you can rack up a few hundred Gold from Tapjpy if you just CHECK every hour.
STEP TWO
As you get crates, OPEN them immediately with Timer resets during the first few hours of the event, or what I do is grind out 7 items and then back off to hourly opens when the timer runs out naturally and then maybe I will do 1 or 2 Timer Resets at that moment for kicks. I can usually get 5 OPENS in the first 30 minutes - and on THIS particular event, I stopped at 7 in the first half hour and have Gotten 2 more for a total of 9 Items in the first 3 hours! I usually keep a stock of GOLD on hand when it goes on sale JUST for these events (like my buddy WP and I know that he was able to get 5 Items in about 30 minutes then 2 more within an hour & at this moment, he was at 8 in the first 4 hours).
STEP THREE
Once you reach your set goal for the 1st 12 hours (hopefully 5 to 7) then seriously just back off and do the hourly opens. I choose to do it with Gold - but have randomly done the cash option for giggles and still gotten items. In fact, on the last event I got 3 of my items with cash
STEP FOUR
After the first 12 hours, you can just do your normal Mission opens and go on the hunt for Boxes/crates in PvP. A lot of people will have gotten crates after the 12 hours and you can now have a bounty of them piling up waiting for you to open. I usually end up with about 60 to 100 unopened crates at the end of events. I still do cash & free opens after I get my 10th Item (usually by the 3rd day) for the chance of $1.25 million, 500 Valor, or the semi-decent units that must have a very high casualty rate because I lose them by the end of the event anyway (and I have 48% stacked reduction in Lower casualty rate - BUT that is a different thread).
Anyway, I hope that helps you plan your attack strategy and I sincerely hope ALL of you get to the 10th Item THIS time and each event in the future! So keep everyone posting in one of the 6 threads that will pop up with each event to keep us all updated on your progress!
We're all rooting for everyone else here on the forums to Win Win Win!
P.S. Remember, McDoc is the proud owner of EVERY 10th Event Item!
