Yes, I'm quite aware of that, and will implement a custom setup with the aim of using no more than 49S (getting that quest setup at the same time)

I had no doubt you were aware of it, but I'm sure others must have missed it - as I did several times.

Anyone else done a guide for The Lost Skull yet?
I know Genesis has one here:

The Lost Skull (3,020 XP) [Genesis Guide for Vets and Elites, 149R Losses]
I don't have elites yet... Is there a non-Elite Soldier version anywhere?

camp 2)
53R 197S (38R - 47R - 53R 1S)

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.

All those setups have a 10% chance of winning after 4 rounds (120 seconds), but a 90% chance of losing after 5 rounds (100 seconds)
