[Saxon]

I will try the independent squad idea, it will still incur losses, but should allow me to control who I lose and limit them. I tend not to play nations with undead, but perhaps I should make an exception, a la Pirates of the Caribbean…

Hiring tritons is also done, but it depends on how many provinces remain to be attacked. The Ickys I can take back on shore once the ocean is cleaned out, whereas the tritons just patrol aimlessly. If I only have a couple of provinces to clean up, I hate spending a lot of cash, and then upkeep, on tritons.
