Field Training Tactics From Nell
In field training Nell will give you battle Tactics. If you think Nell's tips are always right well your half wrong. She will sometimes say "Clearing all the tanks and troops is easier than capturing the opponents." I found it easier to capture the base when she says that! At some point in Field Training she will tell you the same thing but the advice she gives is the easy way. So do what you think would be easier because she is often wrong!
