The horseback blocks should work...you gotta make extra sure that your generals are positioned in EXACTLY the spots shown on the map. I know I've had trouble with that before too.

Love the guides, but I have a few optimizations that aren't in the guides if people are interested:
Another WOTS Block (saves 44R):
52E 1S removes the 0.2% -- but puts 47-51E at risk if there's a server crash or lag. I just find the soldiers more "replacable".
Traitors Double-Block (saves 116R):
Victor Double-Block (saves 80R 38B):
Also on Victor -- I hate using 2-wave on L2 and L3:
1) 125R 2) 74R 1E 175XB = 125+66.35 average = 191R
1) 185R 5S 60E = 177.06R 0.24S average
Saves you 14R per leader and you have a lot less generals in hospital -- you guide calls for killing 7 regular and 1 veteran and can be reduced by 2.
(Don't double-block L1 with 185R 5S 60E -- the 2-wave is required and faster -- although 103M 147S works if you need to save another recovery)

I dont use elite soldiers on easy adventures (level 26+), and most players who does, dont have elites yet.
for vtv i just did a simple block using garrison positions, didnt want to make a timmed block, i will look that up someday when i run it again, i dont like it too much, hate losing cavs ^^
doing a vtv right now, not doing that double block, the attack on c3 calls for 7 rounds min and 9 average, still a long walk to the leader, that will take 4 rounds min to take down, it could work sometimes, but pretty sure it will fail many times.
but i'll use the 1 wave for L1, L3 and L4, very nice, thanks for the advice
UPDATE
both outlaws guides updated for better positioning:
- x3 on triple block didnt appear most of the times, so we got new positions now that will always work
- position to attack L3 updated too, now theres no need to delay the attack, just send all the 3 in quick succesion - WARNING - the block on C9 is risky if your using a regular general on L3
For Outlaws, 172S 1E 416C (589 premium troops) is very high.
You can accomplish the blocks with the same minimum rounds for 48S 137E 288C (473 premiums -- 128 less cavalry). I'm sure it could get even lower, but I don't know if it could get down to 249C.
C4: 15S 23E 128C
C6: 33S 100E
C5: 14E 160C
C9: 5R 187C
C10: 2R 15E 101C
C15: 22E 144C
C16: 22E 144C
Non-Elite ( 88R 2M 150S 288C )
C4: 1R 40S 128C
C6: 87R 95S
C5: 15S 160C
C9: 1R 18S 131C
C10: 157C
C15: 1M 22S 144C
C16: 1M 22S 144C
