This time I ignore Chitzena first. After the defense of Drassen successfully completed, I attack the Sam site. While rest and recuperate there I hire Biff to train militia, then airdrop 9 troops, my total strike force, down below Alma mine then hit there at night.

From the number of fight as well as the number of city/mine, Alma should not too tough. Alas it's a big hard nut, with about half is elite soldiers. Even harder than Grumm in my last game (Drassen/Chitzena/Grumm).

What give?

Maybe some patrols and units are sent from Alma to attack you. Smile
Sometimes guest-units temporary rest in a town. :wrysmiley:
Also, you might have a stronger team than in your other game.

Also why if you have conquered everything except Meduna, all enemy forces attack only Grumm Mine, ignoring Balime? This made me spend thousands just on militia.

Try positioning a team of mercs just outside the town. They can "lay in ambush" (wait) for the enemy that's coming to Grumm. Saves a lot of money on training militia. Or just assault Meduna Wink

Tried and got boned. See they attack more frequently than I can get ammo or heal and patch my mercs.
Also the tanks in the zones make me wait for new toys from BR thus giving enemy time to attack Grumm.
Better landmine the shit out of the "Ambush-zone", position few MG's, paint mercs with camo and wait for the bloodbath to begin.

I also play with mobile-militia disabled so not much help from that direction either.

(Hmm. Guess I could position few propaganda signs, skulls and... Oh well.)

When I first captured Grumm, at least 5 enemy patrols were sent to attack it (I didn't have Balime at the time, however). What worked for me was just doing all my repairs/training/etc. in the mine sector, because when elites are attacking, I like to help my militia so I can get their guns. Because the elites are too busy putting themselves in stupid positions to kill the militia, I usually can pick them off with my LRARs. Saves a fair amount of lives, yields experience...so help your militia when you can.

As for Alma... I would expect tough enemies in just about every Alma sector because it's very much a military town, with the training/weapons facilities. Grumm is also tough (factories), but meh.
