Sons of the Veld

About the guide:

This guide has been made possible by Tage & Flintcarr. Combining there guides & adding some extra ideas it makes SotV more interesting to play - specially when you need a lot of experience in a short time.

For this guide you need at least:

• 2x MMA (more are recommended)
• 4x Standard General
• optional: 1x Major General and/or 1x Veteran

Average losses fast play: max 930R (with limited recovery time)

Average losses slow play: max 876R (more recovery time needed)

You can play SotV with this guide as well with MG/Vet or Vet/Vet when you bring an extra BHG. Expect then max losses off 1324R (MG/Vet) to 1392R (2xVet) plus an additional 220C for both and a chance to loose a few soldiers here and there.

Other SotV guides on this website:

• Sons of the Veld: 2x Vet / MMA / MG ~1350R lost
• Sons of the Veld: 1x Vet ~1400R, 220Cav lost
