This guide is based on the Hasmir guide but I couldn't get past some of the camps probably due to pathing changes. I also decided to lose recruits instead of militia and soldiers.

2 ways are there to do it the RED and BLUE way both at your own risk. I would like to hear wich is better.

At your own risk: Send all generals after each other in the order A, B, C, D. Don't be too quick sending your generals, the biggest risk is getting intercepted by the camp you are trying to bypass so count to 3 between each send.

Remember that each successive launch should be made after the battle drums of the previous launch ends.
Do NOT rush the launches or you may be intercepted. Be leisurely about it!
