So send your piece of crap, 0% training army, lose it, getting rid of the TMP penalties in the process, recruit a decent one, and go hit them again.
This is exactly what I'm going to try to get them to do.
However IC reason why. . . I'm really at a loss. I can't afford to send my 15K army to lose a fight because GDoF has a force that should be 15K and is 3K instead.
The fact that it's an OOC work around is more the problem for me.
I can't justify telling them to throw their army against Candiels because it sucks. But that's exactly WHAT they need to do.
