Vanguard X = the blind leading the blind

So when I have any campaign ops credits, I usually do a quick run of the Vanguard X campaign ops mission... in East Ronfaure [S] primarily. It's quick (about 5 minutes so long as I'm only escorting 1 reinforcement) and easy and normally is rated at about 3 or 4 stars... so end up with about 350 XP and 1100 allied notes. Piece of cake. The only bad thing about it is that the reinforcements just seem dumb as rocks.

"... one more word out of you and I'm feeding you to the Orcs, dumbass"

The NPC will say one of three things. Either "I'm worried about the soldiers back at the Garrison" (and then he runs back to the checkpoint), "Is that an enemy scout?" (and then running the west), or "You're slower than turtles in the mud" (and running northish...toward the stronghold...sorta). The two latter NPC remarks aren't as bad. They kinda end up going in the direction I want them to without my guidance...but the former... I always secretly wish I could just kill the bastard myself. lol Still though... Easy Allied Notes and XP.

And speaking of which... 5 more days till I have my iron ram Hauberk. WOOT!
