Far be it from me to help my opponents but what is the point of leaving almost half your Defensive positions empty?
We filled all our Defensive positions; we always do even if we chuck unmodded Jawas in at the end. And today, once the Attack phase started, we had 4,004 points to our opponents' 2797.
Why would they do that? I don't get it.
I've looked the opposing Guild up on swgoh.gg and not only do they have more members than us (they actually have 50 members right now to our 46) but they have over 20% more GP than us. And chances are that we're going to win because they didn't fill all their Defensive slots.
Is there ANY tactic or strategy that does this deliberately? Is there some school of thinking that advises it? We see it a lot and it always mystifies us.
The only thing I can possibly think of is that they were so confident in the Defences that they did put down that were convinced we wouldn't be able to get through them; while simultaneously they'd be able to beat all our Defences with their strong squads that they have to attack with because they didn't put them in Defence. Is that a tactic people follow? Nothing else makes sense that I can see.

Just seems silly to me. *shrugs*
This continues to surprise a lot of people but there is a very large segment of the player base that does not give a rats hind patootie about PvP in any format. They hang out in the 1,000+ range in arena and don't care.
Nothing surprising that they tend to congregate into guilds with many others who feel the same way. Leading to matchups like this. Bit of a drag for you but it is impossible to make everybody care about being good at PvP portions of the game. Or even to bother with it.
I was recently hanging out in a smaller guild and played merc in TW for them. It was actually the first time enough people had signed up for them to even do TW. So some didn't realize they had to fill defense. The opponent actually set fewer defenses.
