    Secluded Experiments (Skills: Charge-3, Planner) - all Champions, Major, MOD, 4 MMAs

    It can be done in ca. 80 minutes.
    I'm not sure if posting skilled guides (not following skill patterns of Evil_J or Wiki) makes sense, but here it is anyway (for Halloween).
    My Nusala and Vargus are very similar to Wiki's, so they should work. Anslem is a little more different, so maybe some attacks (especially with Cavalry or against bosses) may need to be replaced.

    NEW: Added a few optional attacks with Skilled Mary Christmas giving 3k extra XP (3.9k if Fast Learner-3).

    Needed all 3 Champions, Major(s), at least 1 MOD* (2 is better for a quicker start), 4 MMAs (at least 1 MMA with full Skills), 4 Tavern generals (can be done with 3, but a little slower in the early parts).
    Crucial skills for Majors and Champions: Charge-3, Planner, and other depending on camps - full list below.
    Without MoD:
    Spoiler

    You have to kill Camp 11) 200 Sabrerattler
    Block on Camp 2a) block-Normal 120ES 72Cav
    Other MoD blocks (173 XBow) on camps 6, 20, 24 can be done using block-Normal 75ES.
    It's better if your LS buyers don't attack Camp 24 (it's part of the final double block).

    More/Less MMAs:
    Spoiler

    If you have more MMAs:
    Best to use 1 of them on Camp 14 (wave-1 MMA 1R + wave-2 Any 100Cav) - this way you don't have to wait for Anslem to return.
    Any other MMAs, maybe as wave-1 where Nusala attacks, if your Nusala doesn't have Master Planner (but has at least Charge-3), but it would require incorporating them into the blocks.
    If you have less MMAs:
    You may need 3 waves attack on Leader 11).
    For Leaders L2 & L5, you can use Fast general with ca. 70R or Lord Dracul with ca. 45-50R as wave-1 (use simulator) to kill Caltrops, but wave-2 would have to be modified as well (Gunman survive wave-1): you would need Nusala/Skilled-MMA with same troops as for Leaders L1a and L1b.

    Clarification: Not all 1 troop attacks are suicidal - only those where it says "wave-1" (or "w-1"). Other 1R, 1Cav, 1M attacks with Nusala or Anslem are usually "kill'em all" raids where general survives (with the current combat rules).

    Skills 1 (Major, Anslem, Vargus): Master Planner, Garrison Annex-3, Unstop. Charge-3, Battle Frenzy-3, Overrun-3.
    Skills 2 (Nusala): Master Planner, Weekly Mainten.-2, Garrison Annex-3, Unstop. Charge-3, Overrun-2.
    Skills 3 (MMA, only some have skills): Master Planner, Garrison Annex-3, Unstop. Charge-3, Rapid Fire-3, Juggernaut-3.

    NEW (optional): Skills 4 (Mary Christmas): Master Planner, Garrison Annex-3, Unstop. Charge-3, Overrun-3.

    Needed: 2050 Recruit - 210 Bowmen - 80 Militia - 820 Cavalry - 185 XBowmen - 400 Elite Soldiers - 425 Cannoneers [4190 troops]
    Losses (max. before First Aid): 2045 Recruit - 207 Bowmen - 80 Militia

    For the next attack avoid combination of MoD+Nusala - block's too short, unless ... (spoiler)
    Spoiler

    ... Unless you use Platinum Horseshoe, then it has ca. 5-6 seconds safety margin.
    - or -
    ... Unless you use Bronze Horseshoe, AND your Nusala has Conf. Leader-1, then it has ca. 6 seconds safety margin.
    - or -
    ... Unless your Nusala has Conf. Leader-3, then it has ca. 3-4 seconds safety margin.


    You can use MoD+MMA, but it has only 5 seconds safety margin, so be quick to send.
    With Bronze Horseshoe on, the safety margin on MoD+MMA combo increases to ca. 13 seconds.
    With Platinum Horseshoe it will be almost 16 seconds.

    If you're waiting for Tavern general to arrive for this block, you can attack C4 and L2 (as soon as Major attacks Camp 1b).

    Tip: If your Nusala has Master Planner and can be used with 180Cavs like intended for C15, you don't need wave-2 on C-14, just send suicidal MMA 1R first and then let Nusala be intercepted by C-14.

    A few other attacks are possible too, but they're almost pointless (SE units give low XP, and using Mary more often would slow you down).
