Sons of the Veld
This guide uses Advanced Blocks and all garrison placements are placed to launch one attack after the other Each new attack should be made after the battle music of the previous attack ends (or 3.75-4s). Clicking to attack the next target prior to the battle music ending may run the risk of the general getting intercepted. Most of the camp configurations and layouts are original, but obviously may be similar to other guides. Remember, all Blocking Generals must be the Tavern purchased generals!
2 Vets, 1 BHG and 4 Tavern Generals + Cannons are required to run this guide. An additional BHG or two are recommended otherwise you might have to wait for generals to recover.
This guide is not for the unwary. If you have not yet ran an Outlaws + an RB or DB using my guides, you may want to try those first. I would like to thank OneOldMan for being my Beta guide tester. This guide in particular required someone willing to place his cajones on the table. Also, Sanii made some Videos when he tried this guide out, links to them are included for your viewing pleasure (used with his permission).

Note: Be very careful not to launch the next attack before music ends. Be sure to attack in the order listed below. Note: There are seven (7) generals in play on the attack! It might be easier to think of this as 2 separate block setups (there is even a delay of 15 seconds between them).

Battle Hardened General: 87R 33M/S/E/K 80K
Note: There is not enough time to use a Tavern general for this Leader kill. If you do not have BHG available, then you can kill Upper Camp 3 + Leader Camp 4 prior to doing this block and free up a Vet for this camp (or work out a 200 general kill for Leader Camp 4 instead... as more time is available for it; losses will be higher.) But if you have the required 2 Vets, then you probably have a BHG.

Veteran General: 99R 1E 82C 15XB 53K
Placement for Quad Block/Double Kill (Upper Camps 12-17)
Video by Sanii - In this video, Sanii also demonstrates what can happen when you load to a general with troops for a block(in this case Camp 13 (b3), without fully unloading all the soldiers used in the previous block. I’m told he did this strickly for educational purposes.
Note: Leader Camp 11 must be down before you perform this Quad Block/Double Kill.

Move Vet(s) to take out Lower Camps 14 + 16. Now is a good time to invite 2nd player to tag.
Leader Camp 16: 2 O.E.B., 1 Skunk, 50 Guard Dog, 50 Roughneck

Leader Camp 14: 1 O.E.B., 1 Skunk, 50 Ranger, 50 Roughneck

Do the first wave for Camp 12. Load up and place Vet for final attack of Camp 12 and then load up and send back your garrisons. If your tagger targets bottom Camp 10, a 1r hit will work.
Kill Camp 12.
As noted and confirmed by OOM, there is room to stagger the calvary wave and the Final attack for Leader Camp 12.
