    what does that mean? do u do something besides kill troops in SotV that u dont do in other adventures? im all about loot : loss ratio, never ran an SotV or SE, and probably never will tho i do give props to crazy players who do, steve000000 used to run SotV and SE all the time.

    Most adventures "begin at the beginning" and end at the end; even those that have alternative landing zones - still adhere to a sequential path.

    SotV and SE change more dramatically - depending upon which camps you decide to attack and when; many different options are open.

    EvilJ starts south - heads north and then heads west
    Killste starts North and splits north and south
    Lucas starts south heads west - comes back east and then finishes counterclockwise.

    The route you choose - changes your choices and tactics. Also several sectors have multiple leaders - so simple blocks do not work...

    Most adventures are just mechanical = A-Z keep your losses low and get your loot (BORING)---- SE and SotV make you think a little - LOL

    Knowing I am in the minority - here are some strict comparisons and evaluations (all numbers my own based on runs with a Major General):

    EvilJ: 1614 recruit loss - 2 one recruit Tavern General blocks
    Sammy's Lost Legion Blend of EvilJ and Killste: 1501 recruit loss - 3 one recruit Tavern General blocks (contact me directly if interested)
    Killste: 1333 recruit loss - SIX (6) one recruit Tavern General blocks !!!!!

    LucasColbert: 1183 recruit loss - ZERO one recruit Tavern General Blocks and TWO Simultaneous TWO LEADER BLOCKS! (we have to invent a name for this!)

    Cav losses are of course a constant 220 in each. For lovers of SotV THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Thank you! (again!)
    You've never compared the Lesson SOTV Guide? The original and still one of the best. He does a quad-kill triple leader, and two double-leader blocks. I think Lesson kills 2 camps that aren't leaders (24 and 10 Green). The LucasColbert kills 24 and 9 Blue -- so the results should be identical.

    Can we update this even further with the MMA general? Most waves one using cavs can be cut down to just a few recruits, reducing losses even further.

    Says 937R average (if you get 2 players with 2x MMA, you can do it without 2h waits / medipaks)

    I am always getting intercepted on the attack on 4 blue

    otherwise this is great
    with 2 mma you can get through killing only 1 general 1200r no cav or other higher troops lost
