[Adventure] Victor the Vicious
*THIS GUIDE IS OBSOLETE
Victor the Vicious:
(This is a 3 man, 8 skull adventure. I ran it solo, so my losses were large, but it was very do-able within the time given.)
Troops needed:
1252 Recruits
681 Militia
490 Cavalry
177 Longbowmen
626 Soldiers
Troops Lost: (It's worth noting that you won't lose this many troops. I was running this blind, but there are good German guides that I was unaware of when I started this guide that will help keep these losses down. See the alternate troop formations, or check out Aerose's link below.)
1252 Recruits
681 Militia
440 Cavalry
40 Longbowmen
619 Soldiers
XP: 27,482
I ran the first portion of this making up my own troop formations, which I am admittedly not very good at, so don't laugh at my armies, they were brave lads, and made me proud.
(I've included some alternate troop formations from the German Site which I unfortunately found a little late, Alt1 and Alt2:

Top left sector: (I took this route because I wasn’t paying attention, and didn’t notice until after it was too late that there was a better way to go. I took the path under the rocks, skipping 4 camps. I’ve marked this route in red, since it’s really an alternate route. You would most likely take the yellow path, taking the two camps in the center sector and Leader 3 right after you defeat Leader 1, and then attack leader 2 from the right, for fewer losses.)
