wave-1 Any 200 Rec (kills 62 Bully)
wave-2 Mary 113 Rec 87 Ka [total loss: 313R] (max. total XP: 9900 /
19180 /
21964)
It's possible to use Mary with Rec+XBow to kill Alex, if you don't have cannons, but wave-1 would have to kill more troops (Veteran needed) or kill at least some Scallywags (MMA needed). XP is still nice (15k XP for Alex alone, 17250 XP if Mary has FastLearn-3 skill)
If you want to kill all Bullies and Scallywags, try: wave-1 Any general 200R, wave-2 Any general 115R. This should leave Alex alone in the camp, so wave-3: Mary 38 Rec 162 XBow [total loss: 353R]. Total XP =
17,400 (2,400 from waves 1 + 2, and 15k from Mary killing Alex).
Elite Army: Mary 200 Swordsman [46Sw]
- or - Mary 12 Mounted Swordsman 188 Knight [12MS 10Kn] (with proper skills you save 6MS of those 12)

Elite Army: Mary 200 Knight [33Kn]
- or - Mary 192 Knight 8 Besieger [29Kn] (with proper skills loss can be 15Kn)
Day 12 - Friday) 50 Bully, 50 Ruffian, 70 Scallywag [XP: 6350 /
12700 /
14605]
88% XP come from Scallywags, so you don't lose much by killing Bullies and Ruffians with other generals (use a simulator after wave-1 to see how many Recruits needed to kill most of the Ruffians, but leave as many Scallywags as possible)
Regular Army:
wave-1 Any 200 Rec (kills 35 Bully)
wave-2 Any 175 Rec (kills 15 Bully 48 Ruffian)
wave-3 Mary 200 Rec [total loss 464R]
One of the waves can be MMA (would attack Ruffians first), also Vargus or Dracul are ok as wave-1 and wave-2. Don't use 2 MMAs, and also avoid Nusala, Anslem because they would kill Scallywags, taking away from Mary lots of XP.
Elite Army: Mary 200 Knight [50Kn]
- or - Mary 180 Knight 20 Besieger [35Kn]
- or -
wave-1 Any 200 Rec (kills 35 Bully)

Day 14 - Sunday) 50 Bully, 50 Grouch, 150 Whiner [XP: 6000 /

Regular Army:
wave-1 Any General 200R (kills 50 Bully, 3 Grouch)
wave-2 Any General 155R (kills 31 Grouch) - or - wave-2 Any General 120Bowman (kills 31 Grouch)
left in camp: 16 Grouch, 150 Whiner [XP: 4820 /

11086] + 1180 XP from waves 1-2
wave-3 Mary 16 Rec 184XBow [total loss: 371R] - or - [total loss: 216R + 120B]
Elite Army:
Mary 200 Mounted Marksman [-]
Day 15 - Monday) 100 Grouch, 50 Scallywag, 1 Bob the Miscreant [XP: 23,500 /
47,000 /
54,050]
(XP composition: Grouch = 8.5%, Scallywag = 17%,
Bob (boss) = 74.5%)
Bob alone is worth 35k XP for Mary Christmas (40.2k XP if Mary has Fast Learner-3), killing all other troops with normal generals with add 6k XP to it.
This one camp is worth half of an adventure from the Fairy Tale category, this should help you decide what losses are OK for you.
Regular Army:
(all generals without any skills)
wave-1 Anslem 150R (kills 30-41 Grouch, 40-50 Scallywag)
wave-2 Veteran 250R (kills 70 Grouch, 6 Scallywag)
left in camp: 4 Scallywag, 1 Bob
wave-3 Mary 56 Soldier 4 Bowman 140 XBow [total loss: 400R 55S 4B]
This is just one example of possible solutions, Anslem is most effective as wave-1 suicider, but of course you can use MMA(s) or Nusala first to reduce the number of Scallywags, then Recruits with Tavern general (or Veteran).
For waves 1 and 2 it's better to use only Recruits or (if first wave(s) killed some Scallywags) Recruits and then Bowmen. No matter what generals you choose, Cavalry is a bad idea.
And if your Mary has some skills (like Overrun or Battle Frenzy), your losses can be lower.
Elite Army:
Mary 32 Mounted Swordsman 50 Knight 118 Besieger [31MS 25Kn]
Skilled Mary examples:
Day 16 and later - Tuesday and later) 50 Grouch, 1 Denis, 1 Alex, 1 Bob [XP: 27,500 /
55,000 /
63,250]
(XP composition:
Grouch = 3.6%, Denis = 5.5%, Alex = 27.3% Bob = 63.6%)
Regular Army:
I'm not sure if the total 45k XP (unskilled Mary) is worth the troops, you may consider using truces+bribes. Killing Grouches without troops loss (using MMAs, Draculs, Champions) could help a little.
wave-1 (to kill 50 Grouch + Denis):
Veteran 130Rec 10Sol 110Bow / or /
Major 150Rec 120Bow
wave-2 (to kill Alex):
MMA 133Mil 87Bow
left in camp: 1 Bob
wave-3
Mary 56 Soldier 144 XBow [total loss: 130R 133M 65S 197B]
Elite Army:
Mary 29MS 1Mar 100AM 70MM [26MS 1Mar]
Mary skilled with 7 books (needs
Overrun-2): 10MS 1Mar 119AM 70MM [10MS 1Mar]
Fully skilled Mary will have the same losses (10MS + 1Mar).
