[My first article, please comment, got a mission to complete 🙂]

Had a busy day today,

Congratulations! Based on Kills, you were ranked 3 in a Battle! You have received 6 tokens for your effort!

Congratulations! Based on Kills, you were ranked 2 in a Battle! You have received 8 tokens for your effort!

with two tokens more for daily routine stuff that's 16 tokens today.

I spent two gold on bazooka parts (which I was going to buy anyway sometime this week to even out the imbalance in parts in storage.)
Other than that I've done nothing I wouldn't do without the SoF 'event'.

I've previously collected, and spent, 24 tokens, again by doing nothing I wouldn't normally have done, bar changing the criteria I use for deciding which battles to fight in and when.

What have 24 tokens bought me? 7 days of +150 max energy and +200 (permanent I presume) strength.

So far a decent return for doing nothing extra and a small change in behaviour.

But is what I can get from now on worth even that?

I'm planning on spending tokens only at the 20 token level, until I can't collect any more, then @I will spend any remainder at the 4 token level.

I can't see any use for or benefit from the medal so am avoiding the middle level altogether.

At the 20 token spend level there's an unknown chance (but I'm betting

Good first article, I'm pretty much doing the same with respect to the SoF competition, the middle set of rewards seems pretty useless from the medal down.

If you look around battles that are just ending, usually late at night or some small RW, you can get into the top 5 with just 1 kill. Think my highest has been 2nd with 1 kill so far.

Good tip! my best so far is a third for 8 kills that was about 2a.m. GMT

You can also do the freedom fighter + Mercenary medals at the same time to increase the rewards.

I'm aiming for 1000 tokens before it ends 😃

That's true, I've completed a TP & added half-a-dozen countries to my Merc tally so far. Not had any luck matching winning resistance campaigns with low kill numbers yet 🙁
