working on refining troop counts and adding more general options. this is my first guide so any constructive recommendations you have would be great.
SONS OF THE VELD
This Guide is based on Tage's guide for Sons of The Veld but with a different strategy. I have made notes throughout this guide to give credit to Tage where I have copied his troops or his block set up. My Guide is for 5 regular generals (RG) and 1 Battle Hardened General/Reaper General (BHG), where Tage's guide is for a Veteran General and Regular Generals. I have made every effort to check my block setups and test these blocks several times, however I assume you will be checking my work before sending your troops. one of the reasons I like Sons of the Veld is because it is not linear. There are many ways you could do this adventure this is just one possibility.
In this guide I have shown my Block set ups, but when it is necessary to simply kill a camp I do not tell you where to attack from since it really does not matter, so long as you don't get intercepted. I assume you can handle that on your own.
There is a more efficient way that I have included in (spoilers) based on Les_N work. This way uses more difficult blocks that are very sensitive when it comes to timing and cannons and vets are a must. one of the blocks has a chance of failure even when performed correctly. However you could complete the map while only killing 2 camps more than the leader camps. You have been warned, good luck.
