SOS

SOS is the first important fighting skill at commander level 37. It allows you to attack once by yourself and have all of your killed units be converted to wounded instead. If your hospital fills, the extra wounded troops will die. You can help this by sending out your fleet with Morgan and then switching to Bravestar. It does not matter how many enemies reinforce but If an ally joins your attack, the SOS will be canceled. The goal of SOS is to find a 50/50 fight. If you are strong, then you want to fight multiple people. You will kill many and you will have a day of healing, then you can repeat. Some people like to use SOS as soon as it is available, which will save any gathering troops that try to get tile attacked or save you from forgetting to use it. The best way to use SOS is during the battle. If the battle starts and you realize the enemy withdrew most of their troops then you can kill the remainder, take a small loss, and save the SOS for another attack. Sometimes you will start an attack that seems easy and then many will reinforce, so pay attention and be ready to use it! Try not to use this as a “special attack” but more as a “get out of jail free” card. Play normally, and then when you make a mistake or a c38 shows up to defend, you can use this to save yourself.
