Rather added the one missing setup... although it doesn't really matter which one you use, they all give the same losses:

Nice Job with the new WotS guide :-)

It's a pity that I don't play on Newfoundland so I can't gift you for all those helpful guides - which are the best. Well explained, hard to mess up and least losses amongst them all in the wild.

Just to say that you need to take 314 cav if you are going to do the double block on 6/7/8... I keep forgetting & have to go back & get them..:((

According Tage's guide if you don't have cannons, block at camp 5(G4) is considered risky. That's why, I made a little change at the path for me to avoid this block.

::bronzesword:: After clearing the G2 and G3 we go for the camp 4 at G5.

::seed:: Garrison Position G2 (BLOCK)

Position A: NORMAL general
Position B: BATTLE HARDENED general or ANY general
Position C: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psf3eb8a1a.jpg

Send all generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 5
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]

From B & C to Camp 4
use untis from Tage's guide.

::bronzesword:: The next is the attack at camp 10. After that we can position the generals at G6.

::seed:: Garrison Position G6 (BLOCK)

Position A: NORMAL general
Position B: BATTLE HARDENED general or ANY general
Position C: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psde0e151e.jpg

Send all generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 5
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]

From B & C to Camp 6
use untis from Tage's guide.

I'm pretty sure that now General A could do the round block and this will work well with Elites. Now the marching of the Generals B & C is near 10 step lesser ;)
EDIT: You are not a gambler and "I guess" isn't good for you? Loucaux did the math on the block with elites. You can see the numbers in his post quoted below:

From A to Camp 5) 60 Elite Soldier Deserters, 60 Crossbowman Deserters
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [4S 1E 194C (-)] {1% of 180 seconds, otherwise 200+ seconds of fighting}

From B to Camp 6) 50 Cavalry Deserters, 50 Elite Soldier Deserters, 50 Crossbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
BATTLE HARDENED general (recommended) or ANY general: [114R (114R)] {at most 20 seconds of fighting with a fast general}

From C to Camp 6) 35-42 Elite Soldier Deserters, 50 Crossbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [153R 1M 1S 95E (92R - 135R - 153R)] {at most 130 seconds of fighting}

If you have cannoneers, Camp 6) can be killed in one wave:
VETERAN general: [138R 1M 111K (99R - 124R - 138R)] {at most 90 seconds of fighting}

From the moment the block starts, the marching time (13 ⅓ seconds) and fighting on the DC with a fast general (20 + 130 seconds) takes about 164 seconds. With a short 180 seconds block, it is safe, leaving a margin of about 16 seconds to send your battle hardened general (and at least 10 more seconds to send the veteran).

While it is possible to replace the suicidal BATTLE HARDENED general with a NORMAL general, there is roughly 1% chance the block will fail.

All the numbers above are based on 500000 simulations.

Thanks to Tage for his great guide and to Loucaux for the new position of the blocking General A at Garrison G6.

All garrison setups have been simulated at least 5000 times, using this simulator.
Even if I do the utmost to ensure that no errors occur anywhere, I am only human, and errors might always appear.
Thus, I do recommend that you double-check all setups in the simulator, especially before trying an attack the first time in a newly published setup.

All garrison setups where recruits and soldiers are included have a very small chance of one or a few soldiers being killed.
I prefer having it so tight, that in most cases that one soldier survives and actually might save one recruit by taking the last hits in the battle.
That being said, be prepared to lose the odd soldier(s) after playing the same adventure hundreds or thousands of times...

On the other hand, all garrison setups have also been made so that the risk of losing longbows or crossbows is next to negligible.
Due to this, some setups have more recruits/soldiers than what can be seen in other guides.
In some cases this will increase the maximum losses (of recruits), but save the rare occasion of losing crossbows.

Thanks borobe! I know you talked to me about this before and I said I'd update my guide... :o
I need to add a link to your post now, giving me a little more time to actually update my guide. :)

MarkG thanks so much for this map - you don't have a similar one for Clever little Tailor and Sons of the little Tailor do you please?? I found it a great map and wondered if he/she's done any more. I have tried looking on the german forum but to no available as I'm not a member.
