    You will lose fewer than 500R!

    Take camps in order given.

    TOTAL XP Available=5663

    Using soldiers, you will need the following troops:
    for a normal gen: 361R 132B 117S 194C 199A
    for a veteran gen: 342R 132B 4M 173S 245C 40A (personal note: send 182S and you can send last 3 attacks at same time)


    Troop configuration with regular general and soldiers:
    TROOPS NEEDED: 361R 132B 117S 194C 199A
    MAX LOSSES: 361R 132B 55S (max losses per camp are in parentheses).

    L1 40 CU VS ...5R 1S 194C (0 losses)
    C1 50 CU VS ...5R 1S 194C (5R)
    L2 40 CU, 40 FAN VS ...11R 1S 188C (11R)

    C4 120 CU VS ...51R 1S 94C 54A (51R)
    C5 80 CU, 60DP VS ...54R 3S 143C (54R)
    L4 40CU 120SS 1DHP VS ...wave1: 120R wave2: 1S 199A (120R 1G)
    Witch Tower VS ...wave1: 15R 132B (15R 132B 1G) wave2: 57S 118C 25A (55S)


    Troop configuration with veteran general and soldiers:
    TROOPS NEEDED: 342R 132B 4M 173S 245C 40A
    MAX LOSSES: 342R 132B 4M 8S (max losses per camp are in parentheses).

    L1 40 CU VS... 5R 1S 244C (0 losses)
    SEND NEXT GEN TO L2 to intercept C1 and take out both camps on same trip:
    C1 50 CU VS... see L2 (0 losses)
    L2 40 CU, 40 FAN VS... 5R 1S 244C (5R) – see C1 for attack plan
    C2 60 CU VS... 4R 1S 245C (4R)
    SEND NEXT GEN TO L3 to intercept C3 and take out both camps on same trip:
    C3 40 DP 60 SS VS... see L3 (44R)

    C4 120 CU VS... 41R 1S 189C 19A (40R)
    C5 80 CU, 60DP VS... 34R 1S 214C 1B (34R)
    L4 40CU 120SS 1DHP VS... 73R 4M 173S (73R 4M)
    Witch Tower: 100 CU 1 SW 99 DP VS...wave1: 15R 132B (15R 132B 1G); wave2: 75R 9S 126C 40A (75R 8S)

    Most tactics plans suggest that you check with a combat simulator to make sure there are no errors. Checking is a very good idea if you are using a tactics plan for the first time. If you just go blindly ahead without checking you can suffer losses.
    If something can go wrong, it will.

    Key word is "most". If you are doing one that isn't one of the "most" better check. Only problem is knowing which are "most" and which aren't.
    Better safe than sorry.

    I'll mail you in-game as well but yes indeed, you have an error on the L4 combo for reg gens. It should be xbow not cavalry, ie.

    L4 40CU 120SS 1DHP VS w1: 120R w2: 1S 199X (120R 1G) NOT the 199C you have above.

    Also, this means that a person needs to take 199Xbow with them in the troops required.
