50:20 the moment that breaks my heart. I knew I should have delayed my grocery trip! I would have implored you to not attempt to wall, because attempting the wall is a pitfall! Clash differs from an Awakening map in that it actually has design pressures from the enemy layout/player starting position/objective goal. If it were an awakening map it would be a straight march, north to south or whatever. It's not though. As you point out early on, there are those THICC trees that tempt you into thinking you could wall with 6 units. The problem with that, though, is that FE enemy AI never do tactics. They just try to kill the weakest link. This means if you don't have 6 identically strong units, then the enemy will just hammer your wall's weakpoint, the wall will break, and you fall into the trap of having to put someone else into the wall over and over again. Pressures in Clash mainly come from the north. They expect you to want to move diagonal, heading towards the objective. If you try to gun that, you get pincered. You could get pincered by the bulky General + Sword masters from the west and then the PLDs and inevitably wyverns from the north. So the riddle of Clash is how do you alleviate that pressure? And the only real answer is, you have to have at a minimum three strong units. One goes straight north to kill/hold up the PLDs. One goes west to kill/hold up the Generals/Swordmasters, and one goes diagonal towards the objective to eliminate the Warriors. Everybody else kind of forms a loose ball or line behind these units, not to just sit there, but more or less to move in and help any of these units in what small ways they can / maybe bait/silence/corrosion siege tomes etc. What you probably should have done to escape Clash without losing Tauroneo and Boyd is to have sent Gatrie west and Soren north at the very beginning. Soren would have fried every single PLD and Wyvern with basically no threats to him because none of them have the HP or RES to survive his Vantage Thunder. More importantly, none of them are Swordmasters, so none of them would be dodging 92 reals (:P). Since Gatrie has Luna he is perfect for killing enemy generals, and he would have also been completely immune to the swordmasters. Finally, you could have everyone else push lure in the warriors and take them out with Ike/Oscar/Boyd/etc. TL;DR you want to push out from the corner, not try to turtle. Alternatively, you shoulda totally sacrificed Geoffrey.

It only took basically 2 and half hours to finish clash I though it would take a lot longer
